Oh duh... because you need the axle nut to keep the hub in



What do you do about the open hole in the side of your diff? Carry around a rubber plug the size of an axle seal?

His molt, complete



And his last molt, for size comparison

 

Just leave the other side in too, you can remove the shaft from a CV and just have two cups. I always travel with a spare CV though, not often you blow up two in the same trip

 

His legs are so much black in the previous molt.. is he supposed to change colors?


If you fed him less HGH I think he wouldn't change colors

 

Perfect example of keep it simple stupid.

I wwaaaayyyy over thought it

 

I always bring an extra CV on trails but even if you break one you can limp it out in 2wd if possible, if not then you use the spare to swap it out on the trail

But yeah if you don't have spare then you have to at least put the outer cup minus the axle shaft into the hub. Without it in there the wheel bearing will get ruined in short order.

Happened to me when I cross threaded the axle nut once and didn't know better. The tiny amount of play that it allowed was enough to ruin my wheel bearing a few hundred miles later.

 

Camera phone, can't be bothered to fix white balance and hue but yeah, the 'younger' molts are typically on the darker side for a P. Murinus. It isn't until they're about a year old or so that you start to see their color. Here's after his last molt (about two months ago) -

 

Oof ... damn that's a tough one to swallow
Was it at least close to needing wheel bearings?

 

Leave the other end of CV in the diff... Basically a CV axle minus the axle shaft lol

 

Nope not at all lol. And it happened on my way up to my wedding

 

That's wild

Can you breed em? Is there a market for that madness or do you need a license?

 

Just like real life, after a hit it and quit it, the female ends up destroying the male...

 

No license needed.

But you only breed the same species as they communicate a specific way towards one another.

If you're not experienced enough to intervene, you could lose a male to a female because she'll quickly grab him after they mate, and eat him.

 

You'll always have that endearing story.


My grandfather had a Peugeot when he got married and *TL;DR car died due to spark plugs* was late to his wedding because of it.


My grandmother would remind him anytime anything wedding related might come up in regular conversation

 

Today, my biggest one finally ate after refusing food for over a month. This L. Parahybana is over 8" long-

 

Can sibling spiders breed with one another? Or does it create gene pool issues?

I used to raise rabbits and you can have humpage with parent/child combos without screwing em up but not siblings with each other

 

Yeah it was my second time changing out an axle and first time doing it myself...was in a rush losing daylight, cross threaded the axle nut and figured 'fuck it' I'll deal with that next time I change the axle. Didn't know at the time the importance of the axle keeping the wheel bearing intact in the hub. Figured it out the hard way ~300 miles later. Luckily I made it as far as the exit I needed and pulled into the first shop I could.

 

Do they only eat live things? So you gotta keep replacing crickets? How long can they go without a meal?





Who needs animal planet? ... thank you for answering my questions lol

 

Nope, no issues at all!

 

Thank you for sharing... i will absolutely learn from your experience
