Hi all
Exciting times.First molt for me.My LP Selene has been at it since yesterday.
Will it be safe to take the moult out once she is back on her feet or wait few days?
Regards Konstantin

I usually wait until the T moves away a little so I can remove it without disturbing it.

My Caribena Laeta molted today. Sorry not the best quality picture as i am using my phone and she webbed the **** out of her enclosure lol She was moving around her enclosure for a bit and she looks great.
Really happy with this one. Some of you may or may not remember that I nearly lost this T several months ago due to poor husbandry. Thanks to the wonderful people on this forum I was given advice which gave her a second chance. She is doing great now and has been webbing and eating like a champ

Perks of having an old female P Cambridgei is that locusts live long enough to moult so found this today along with.
E campestratus , H chilensis , O sp. blue quezon , P Pulcher , C sp. Sumatran Tiger , C Darlingi , N sp. Suriname , P Elenae and P Tigrinawesseli

How do you find out if a OBT has molted? I am almost positive there is a molt within the webbing, but I am not keen on destroying the webbing to see. Plus I do not want to upset them, by poking about in there, partly because, they are not called OBT's for nothing. And partly because I hate destroying all of that hard work & possibly disturbing them close to a molt. Also that webbing is strong & I am not sure I will be able to remove a delicate molt from it, or not easily.
