[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 55272, member: 1152"] It's very common for tarantulas to molt in their burrows or under their hides.They are very vulnerable during and right after this process, so it behooves them to do it somewhere they feel safe. This is a totally natural behavior. Many of my slings will even appear to bury themselves when they are in premolt by closing off the openings to their dens. Just try to keep in mind that these are hardy creatures who institutionally know what's best for them. They wouldn't try to molt in a space that didn't allow enough room for the process. Hopefully, you get to catch some or all of the process...it's quite fascinating! :) [/QUOTE]
