The bottom pic looks exactly like my versi slings but bigger.

Great choice of spider, was looking at these before.

At the mo she's in a tall tupperware container with some climbey bits in,she spends most of her time in her tunnel web that she's made acroos the lid,lol,which makes it hard for us to open it up,but as she was down on the ground this morning i thought i'd grab a quick pic.She gets a regular spraying also.

She lost one of her pedipalps in her last molt-as you can see in the last pic...will this adversely affect her in anyway (we're unsure of sex but won't be using for breeding anyway)

Yeah the next time she moults she'll be fine. Just make sure the humidity is higher next time

Not sure if they'll be a next time i think she might be dying....after taking that pic she hasn't moved from the bottom of her tub-which isn't like her at all,when we go in to see if she's ok she barely moves,even if we gently blow on her she only moves her legs slightly and makes no huge effort to run off like she'd normally do....anyone had this happen before,i don't want her to die
