I wanna take molts of mine an do the growth frames. Do you just freeze them till your ready to use them then set them up an their fine? Too bad my chaco has her molt hidden somewhere. I think that burrow is alot bigger than I can see lol an shes pushed dirt against the widow so I can barley see in there again ha

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.

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.

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