    Re: Molt Question

    According to my experianced tarantula keeping friend, no. The whole body should molt, so the rest of the skin didn't molt.
    Keep an eye on the tarantula. A bad molt can result in death. Make sure it's water dish is full and hold off on feedings for a bit to allow what had been shed to harden.
    He said he's lost T.s to bad molts.
    I hope someone else experianced in keeping tarantulas will respond as well. I asked my friend when I saw you were worried without any responses yet.
