  • Completely awesome video, I can see just how exhausting moulting is for a T and why it can kill them when they are old.

  • i love fish and reptiles and amphibiens but damn these creatures give me shivers haha but ive seen a lot of spiders and b.smithi is the most beautifull....also saw a blue/green one?? dont know the species name that was a beauty too...maybe when i get over it i add some spiders too my collection too....

  • How many times do they do that in their lifetime? and if you get one as a pet can you just leave it in it's cage and feed it? or do you have to take it out? -shudders-

  • @Spoofliferocks Adults normally moult once per year. You don't need to take them out either, the British Tarantula Society does not recommend handling your T at all, simply because if you drop it it could kill it. Also if your T had lived in the wild it would not have been handled by humans, so you are by no means depriving it of affection by not handling it.

  • what is moulting? can someone explain it looks pretty cool!

  • When a tarantula sheds their exoskeleton and becomes larger.

  • my B SMITHIS abdomen has turned black that means shes about to molt!!!

  • I was in pet store yesterday, i saw b. smithi on sale and i was shocked at the price

    130 €

    well it was mature already :P

  • @USMAI

    mature male ? :P

  • Awesome vid Bro...it's incredible you catch the wole molt Bravo!!!...how much time you get at normal speed?

  • *shivers* T.T creepy.....can i ask you something? why do people like triantulas or bugs? also sorry for the bad spelling

  • How come you like kitties?

  • lol cause their cute, cuddly, fun, and playful :D but i guess some people like certain things and some people dont :p for example some people liking triantulas, insects, ect and some people being scared shitless by them xD sorry if my comment before sounded judgmental i guess at the time i wrote it i was probably freaking out from the video of the spider haha

  • great video forget the haters let them get on with their boring uneducated lives.

  • It's great when a tarantula moults, they become bigger after and have a new fresh look.

  • they are truly amazing creatures.

  • u eat some fucking cocks

  • Klee519, if you don't like the video, WHY do you click on it then? these speciments are beautiful. I have a B. Smithi of my own

  • were you looking in the mirror klee519? im sorry your life sucks.

  • go fuck yourself you stupid moron, i am looking at you and speaking to you

  • My friend's A. Avicularia got bitten to death by a beetle that hid in the T's hide after his T moulted and was really vulnerable.

  • DAM PUT ON SOME SUNGLASSES!

  • The fangs are white because they haven't hardened yet. It usually takes them a week or two to do so after a moult. After they have hardened, they're black.

  • it must be soooo exhausting for tarantula.. and why are fangs white ?? is that normal color ?

  • the exoskeleton has not hardened yet. the fangs will turn black when they harden up

  • Awesome job on this video!!!!

  • i have the same spider.....ive allso missed the shedding lol

  • lol its wierd how redknees hardly lay any web when they shed! all my other spiders plaster ther tanks in silk when ther coming up 2 a shed! cool vid!

  • aah! YEEY!

  • Awesome video. My Mexican Red Knee has molted 3 times since I've had her and I missed it the first two times, but she just molted again about a month ago and I got to watch her. It is so amazing how they can do that. Thanks for posting this video.

  • wtf that is the strangest shit

  • That was an incredible sight. My Smithi has molted twice since I've had him and missed it both times. I hope he's used to being handled by the time he's that big.

  • nice fangs......

  • Nice you got a complete molt. My spiderling gave me a complete the first time it molted after I bought it. I can't wait to watch it grow up!

  • Awesome :)
