    When I got my first T back in the early 90s. I had no idea spiders molted. I came home and saw it all deflated in a ball and was upset. Then I look over and saw her!! It freaked me out. I thought I had 2 spiders :o

    Haha
    I knew they molted but I have yet to actually see one do it. i've always seen the after math. lol but yeah its still in its enclosure with the lid on. I was kinda hoping it was just having some trouble.

    Tarantulas and Spiders

    Casting them in a resin is hard.
    When a T that's about 2" and bigger form an air bubble around them when they go under a liquid.

    There are some cool videos of Ts hiding in their water dish and coming out bone dry.

    Molts are also very fragile.

    Once they get bigger, I think people inject fresh molts and stuff the abdomen with cotton.

    I read about doing the cotton on dead T's to frame them. My local store just deli cups their molts.
