I am really sorry about you're loss. But, this just means you have more experience. I hope you continue with this hobby!

...yeah its defently been fun figuring all of this out. Ive been doing this for years now and this video just reminds me of what not to do...lol but agian there isnt alot of info for starters so you have to find out the hard way.

Now you are getting me scared. Right now, My chilean rose haired, flame, is also molting on an untrustful molting platform. she didn't start getting out yet, she is just sitting on her back. Oh man, I am praying!

[ShaunAndPatsy]

sorry im late but you should be good, just remember most t's molt within 2hrs..just the premolt takes a while this video was a misunderstood spider for me at the time. Some experts say that some spiders actually forget how to molt the right way almost like a glitch in there dna.

You have bad bedding. You need 5 to 6 inches of potting or ecoearth mix with vermiculate. And It has to be dry. It could be a wet molt. I'm that happened to your T.

...now I'm scared my Nhandu Chromatus might have a bad molt as well.... and this video almost made me cry. XD

@deathsblessing around the inside and spray them down to keep them moist and keep the humidity high. Don't forget to poke holes in it figure most people know to do that. After you got it set up and sprayed down put in a small water dish and the T and let the T hang out inside for a bit till its vigor and stamina return n it acts more normal, Check on it carefully as once it does regain strength it may surprise you.

@komiks69 Although it's rather delayed since you asked I would think the best bet would be to put her in an ICU. My T. Stirmi Had a really bad molt and almost died from blood loss, he had to drag him self to even move. Took making a TP bandage to clot the blood and took an ICU to help restore his bodily fluids and movement. ICU's are amazingly simple and useful. Hope your T is fine. ICU's can be made with a deli dish/plastic jar just big enough for the T. Some papers towels placed

I need help.My Tarantula had a bad molt.I tried to feed her after 10 days.But until now she wouldn't eat and she is very sluggish unlike before and seems like having a hard time moving.It's been 3 weeks now and things doesn't look good for her.I've had her for 2 years now and I wouldn't want her to die.Any suggestions?
