She's awfully still throughout this o_O

@StrayingSoul When a trantula molts they are basically unable to move until they harden up.

[sacredpythons]

how did you catch her in this condition at five in the morning???

[tarantulaguy1976]

@sacredpythons I saw her starting to molt 8 hours before and kept a very close eye on her.....these trully are pets to me and I care a lot for them.

@inferenc Good by TROLLL!!

Amazing.... I have a number of friends and acquaintances into T's and the only option I've ever been given in the event is 'the cold sleep'. Thank you, I'm so glad I came across this before I potentially find myself with this situation. Any option is better than putting a T down. Even if you do miss your much needed beauty sleep. :)

what exactly is molting

[DDblazing]

Great to see someone who takes such good care for their pets and truly shows their dedication, many people would not be able to bring them selves to do this. Well done :)

[bubblem8]

Kudos to you, the level of care and respect you give to your 'babies'. It's not everyday that someone cuts a moulting spider free. :)

@cidjero1 no wait. i have a better way of saying it. You know how we all wear clothes? Well its like they are getting a new pair of clothes when they outgrow it, taking the other one off and getting another pair.

@cidjero1 a molt is where an animal has to shed their skin because the skin doesnt grow like the animal so they will shed their old skin and grow a new one. you are welcome.
