I hope she's out of her molt at the time I'm writing. How did it go? Did she survive?



Do spiders exude "parting fluid" between their ""skin" and the new skin, so the old can slip off? Does that imply that the parting fluid can be under-hydrated (too viscous) and slow the molt until the fluid dries and glues the old shed onto the new? I assume that would be fatal, unless the owner can pump-spray warm water onto the mess, trying to loosen the molt. I know I sound like a herp guy, but with spiders, I'm learning.
