So as I said, 4 weeks ago my B. albopilosum Stuttgart (it's a stupid name I know) molted. I could not find the old
exoskeleton but noticed he/she was bigger, plus a change in behavior. Today I found the most annoying thing
in a tarantula enclosure, mold. So I put her in a deli cup while throwing away substrate. Can you guess what I found? Her old exoskeleton. :)

That's happened to me before with burrowers like the B. albos, they don't always push them to the surface..

albo's are famous for that ;) i've had to wait until after a 2nd molt to get the previous molt pushed out of a burrow before.
