Most Ts moult without any problem so don't worry.

So I can look back once they are grown.

I keep all mine in delis, one for each T. It's fascinating to tip them out and see how much that T has grown.

so, they keep? I thought they would just disintegrate over time. Didn't realize they could be kept like that :)
now however....;)

They are a little fragile when they dry out but just be gentle with them and don't handle too much

Glad that it managed it so quickly ^*^
I live in fear of mine molting lol
Molting turns out fine most of the time. U just hear the horror stories...molting is a good thing, means ur spider is healthy and growing. :)

wish I could borrow him to look at mine, have 4 kids from 20 - 38 and not ONE of them wants to even look at my T's lol

My 3 kids are 32-40. Eldest daughter can't even look at them, youngest son just thinks I'm mad but the middle one has 2 Ts of his own and in fact got me interested in them

My family basically ignores the fact that I have 36 tarantulas. They look at them sometimes but I'm quite sure they think I have a screw loose :) Nephew likes them though.

Well, these 2 seem to be settling well, both eating well and the N. sp Suriname, Kalina has started building a wall of web and substrate.
