Looking to see if anyone has shared a similar experience, with any spider.
A few nights ago my very well fed Dolomedes okefinokensis looked so swollen, I thought she might molt. Last night I caught her making an inch in diameter web cluster on the side of the cork bark in her enclosure. When I awoke this morning the spider was very thin, and all the web cluster was gone. directly below where it was located, was now a penny sized yellow goo puddle. Never observed a "purge" like behavior like this in a spider before. Anyone ever seen any behavior like this?
