Soooooo yesterday
we thought our 15 yr old tarantula died!!!
We found him upsidedown and we've NEVER seen him like that before!
But to our surprise....he just molted!!!
He's even bigger!
The picture below is his shell ;)
I read aged tarantulas rest upsidedown for several hours because it's very difficult for them to shed &
they could even die from it!
Poor thing ;(
But at least he's still with us ;)
We've had him since he was the size of a quarter
And now he's the size of my palm ;)
I learn something everyday! :)
......I guess for a tarantula he is sort of pretty.....but I too am getting the willies......
Glad he is ok though..... : )
