Cilantica Devamatha silken molt ball??

[Tarantula Trooper]

C. Devamatha had been down for quite some time and completely sealed her turret! Suspected a molt and finally bout 5 days ago the tunnel cleared. Fed him/her this past weekend. Doing a little maintenance in the T room and noticed this. Silken ball with what looks to be the remains of a molt! Anyone seen this behavior from any of their T's?? None of mine till this one. Happy Spoodering!!!

That’s absolutely wild! Never seen that before.

I was hoping someone else had seen this behavior from a T. With the color and texture there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever it's it's molt! Totally shredded and wrapped neatly into a silken ball. I'm blown away!!!!! Lol!!

Very neat of them I'd say.

My first OBT used to wrap her rubbish including remnants of old moult into a parcel to throw out for me to collect but never a perfect ball like that.

Cool beans! Figured someone had seen something similar. Lol. Just another of those things that make keeping Tarantulas so cool!
