    Molting problem with a Mexican Red Rump

    I've purchased others from them and haven't had problems, but these two probably had issues before I even got them.

    Molting problem with a Mexican Red Rump

    I'm definitely not giving up. The other 9 are thriving. Both were very small and most likely from the same vendor, but since they both happened shortly after purchasing them it must have just been genetics or care before I got them. The vendors that supply a place like Petco probably ship so...

    Molting problem with a Mexican Red Rump

    Another just molted with no issues. Different species, but I'm honestly lost.

    Molting problem with a Mexican Red Rump

    I have 9 other tarantulas now, and I've never seen this issue before the last one. Every other tarantula has molted properly.

    Molting problem with a Mexican Red Rump

The other 10 tarantulas are thriving. She's going back to Petco in a casket. It's my first dead T, so I'm pretty...

    Molting problem with a Mexican Red Rump

    Sorry for the confusion with the name. It's my first time posting. Her mouth parts look fine, so I figure I'll just baby her for a while. I did recently add some moisture to the soil.

    She was perfectly fine before molting.

    Molting problem with a Mexican Red Rump

    I own 11 tarantulas now, including her, and she molted within a week of purchase. I put her in an enclosure day 1 and woke up this morning to find her struggling to molt. Her legs on one side just didn't look right. I waited a couple hours to see some progress, but she hadn't changed, at all. I...
