Mine just molted by surprise in her new enclosure posted elsewhere on this forum.  It tends to hide in a web but is truly a breath taking tarantula, arguably one of the prettiest spiders on Earth.  One other thing, older caresheets say keep them humid--all lies!! They live in trees which have lower humidity and excellent ventilation.  The only water source you need is a water dish that stays supplied with water 24/7.  They do NOT need wet substrate or misting on a regular basis.  I will add a small amount of humidity if I see molting or has just molted but mine has done just fine when I didn't catch the molting.[ATTACH=full]28192[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]28193[/ATTACH]</p></blockquote><p></p>
