Someone should make the spider move to freak people out at the very last sec lol

Sick! My sling's last molt was shoved into a dirt burrow for weeks and when it was ejected, the spood did not bother to leave the legs attached lol. I hope to get an intact molt at some point!

Does this kill the spider?

@op what is the cap for the thorax? Is that part of the abdomen?

1 year ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I think that is literally the thorax cap. It has eyes. The spider pops it off when it molts.

Have you ever gotten a Brazilian black tarantula shed? I feel like that would look really nice with an onix or obsidian butt

1 year ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

Yes, we have one. It’s preserved with its natural butt for now. I’ll see if I can find some stones, just in case

It feels one spider was harmed

It's an empty molt. They periodically molt their skins!

... and that's how spiders are made. Now to find the guy that keeps hiding them in my house...

Is the a tarantula ok?

1 year ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Unless that's a (somehow) fake spider, I'd say it was harmed as prep for this video.

I'd say you need to educate yourself.

Fun fact: like lobsters and crabs, tarantulas also shed their exoskeleton multiple times in their lives. That's what these are, empty shed skins.

Nah it's just leftover skin don't worry about it

1 year ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

leftover skeleton that it grew out of

1 year ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

^ truthful statement here, that's a shed skin

similar concept to how lobsters and crabs outgrow their shells, too

1 year ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Which is a horrifying sentence, if you read it out of context.

1 year ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Not really, we too shed our skin regularly, just not all in one go. So there is leftover human skin pretty much everywhere there are humans. You needn't worry about that either.
