How often can a Tarantula molt? My sub-adult curly molted on 3/28/04 and I came home to find her already spun a bed of web and flipped onto her back (shes molting as I type). Ill be sure to get some good pix!
Second question: Can a tramatic event or stress throw a "T" into pre-molt?
She was just fine and I changed her substrate about a month ago. It was just after that she stopped eating and started reclusing into the corners of her tank..
Also, I had a little incident with my Cyclosternum fasciatum about 4 weeks ago . I was feeding and a pin-head jumped out, in my attempt to capture the pinhead I accidently knocked the vial containing the T off the table onto the carpet. The vial did about 4 flips before it hit the floor and bounced twice. She was ok but has since refused to eat. It molted two days ago.
Coincidence? You tell me..
