About a month ago I thought my tarantula might be dying (belly up)😕
...but she was molting!! (found her next to the old exoskeleton in the morning)🎉
Have you ever seen a tarantula molt? 😱
It's amazing- the exoskeleton is fascinating and Houdini herself looks all shiny new now (though a bit tired from the trauma of detaching herself & crawling out of her own skin)! 😀
Nature is so cool. 🍂🕷❤️🐝🍃

| Belly up- when I thought she was dead. |

| Old skin on the left; shiny new tarantula on the right. |
 |
| The skin she shed showing the hole that she squirmed her body out of. The exoskeleton on back came right off. |
 |
| All shiny and new with a hint of pink. :-) |

You get to see so many cool things! Thanks for sharing 😄
ReplyDeleteSorry, but big spiders make me feel very uncomfortable. But still it is still pretty amazing - but from a distance, please.😜
