Tarantula molting upright!!!

[Tgotty90]

Ok so my G.pulchripes is molting upright as we speak, hoping everything is ok.

I've read this happens some times but outa 30 some Ts over 6 years, I've never personally seen this before, but when I was on lunch, I noticed he/she was in heavy pre molt. I actually called it and told my brother give it 2 hours and it'll be done, well it wasn't even that long before it started, as I was leaving I noticed the carapace was completely flipped over and he was starting to come out. Didn't have time to snap a pic as I was already late heading back. Did my best not to disturb it but it kinda caught me off guard and freaked me out a little bit. Just hoping when I get off I go home to a fresh chaco.

Anyone else ever have this?

He made it out ok, even left me the perfect exoskeleton and im able to confirm that its a male for sure now.
