Oh excellent! I'll take a look tomorrow if you want to DM me the link. Just heading off at the moment.

She is, honestly by a year. ;_; And I worry she started the process and it went wrong, because part of her abdomen near one of her book lungs looks cracked and is a little misshapen. She is still moving around and eating and otherwise seems fine, but you know how it can go. I am hoping it is just that she is about to molt and that's just her old exoskeleton showing wear.

There are also a ton of tropical springtails in with the isopods. I was going to actually see if the spiders would eat the isopods so figured I'd make a substrate mix I could dump in their enclosures, before I found out isopods can kill tarantulas post-molt. So now they just hang out as an isopod-springtail mix. (I did experiment with trying to feed Amara a dairy cow isopod as well, where I could keep an eye on it to make sure it didn't hide...her fangs clacked on it and the isopod got flipped like a foot away. Uncurled and shook itself off while Amara just waved her front legs around and repeatedly cleaned her chelicerae as if to say, "What even was that? Gross!"
