I'm sure this is normal for all you people who have been keeping Ts for a while but WOW! I have never seen such a COOL change! I came back to a BRAND NEW SPIDER! Or so it looked like! Red hairs!? Different body shape!? What a cool cool new look, and how awesome that I got to see it so early in T keeping! Molting is kind of insane!

And the little one was a turd and so of course the mold was ridiculously torn and mangled RIGHT where I'm supposed to look to sex the thing.. I don't know..included molt pictures to see if any of you can make anything out of the mess! lol! My prediction is that all of you will say, yeah no way to tell from these pictures! Oh well. Not that it matters as much with such a long lived species.

Speaking of species, considering the tarantula's recent change and the lack of info from the place I rescued him from--any clues as to what specifically it is? We guessed Hentzi, but I have no eye for this sort of thing.


First, a few pics from before the molt:







Now... after the molt!















And the photos of the silly molt~
