Tarantula moulting sequence

 

thats awesome
Love the way the fangs look when they just shed.......white and shiny
Very well captured :thumbup:

 

Interesting/cool series. How long does the process take for it to shed? (ie from the first pic to the last)

 

Oh my god, that just makes my skin crawl! But really good sequence of events.

 

OSNGAORGNARH[PAERMHPE[AHIMTHPTMHTHPIRMH!!! Eugh!! That creeped me out! Nicely captured from what I saw, I don't have the guts to go back up!!!

 

She is a beautiful spider.

I miss my Rosehair.

Mine took about 4 hours to molt and be finished.

If you get to the shed exoskeleton quickly, it is pliable enough to shape it into
whatever stance you want. I have had a LOT of fun with my spiders' moltings.

You can really scare the complete CRAP out of people with them.

 

That was amazing... very creepy but cool at the same time.

Great shots!!

 

Very cool!

 

Awesome!

 

Thanks for the comments people
@ Antarctican: they can take hours as castrol mentioned his did, or minutes, this one took a half hour to be all done and back on its feet.
Usually it takes longer the older/larger the spider gets, this guys about 2 moults from maturity so he's not so big just yet

 

Great series! Nice detail.
