Re: Possible pet tarantula
I've seen some molts before and they look pretty awesome. Just the leftover shell of what once was.

been if she wanted to.
I agree with you about the younger (smaller) ones. I once had a Golden Huntsman spider for a couple years (until she passed of old age) & she "gave me" a few hundred
spiderlings, which I released, LOL! (I offered her a release too but she preferred to stay with "room service".)
Re: Possible pet tarantula
I would choose room service as well! I'd like to get a younger one since they're slow growing and love quite a long time it would be cool to watch it grow from a baby to an adult through the years.

Kinda, their butts get dark or go bald a lot of the time, they close off their hide entrance and windows that they’ve made.
