I'm on my way to Nathan's right now, he told me humbug has molted!! I'm so excited, I can't wait to take pictures. He told me that humbug's colors are ridiculously vibrant right now. Stay tuned for pictures!



I sort of can't believe I'm so lucky that I experienced my first molt so EARLY in tarantula keeping--especially for having an A. hentzi which I now know grow very, very slowly!

I'm just glad everything went well. I was so nervous that maybe the tarantula had been dehydrated before I came along or maybe it was going to just struggle and try to molt in a bad place and get stuck, ahh! So frightening. But humbug molted like a pro!!

Nathan's too spooked of spiders to go down and reach for the molt for me, even though we have tongs. So I'm going to go and see if hopefully the abdomen is intact and I can sex this guy! (or girl!)
