I have a question I need an anwer too ASAP! My rosie just molted :clap: . My dilemma is I want to get the molt out so I can sex the T, but don't want to disturb the T. too soon. It JUST molted about an hour and a half ago. Is it too soon get the molt out? I want to move it before she/he decides to eat it!! Any advice appreciated!! BTW, it doesn't look like it had any problems with the molt and it's completely out....

Hi

If your spider is not on its back, then you can, as gentle as possible, grab a leg of the exuvium with tweezer and take it out. Do it fast and dont tuch the spider

Thanks! I got it out without a problem, my rosie was kind of sitting on it, but I very gently pulled it out. The abdomen wasn't very intact though, so still not sure I will be able to sex it. I'll try to get a pic and see if some of the experts can help! Thanks again!
