It has been 1.5 weeks since my lasiodora parahybana began its moulting stage and has finally just finished! When checking on him just yesterday he was on his back in his hide with his legs curled, I saw movement in the legs and knew he was moulting so I quickly put his hide down and left him alone for 28 hours.
When I came back I had noticed he was fully emerged from the shiny exoskeleton which is now laying in his enclosure (I’m sure he will end up eating it so I’m going to leave it for a week!).
I have attached a photo so you can see my reborn Tarantula as I like to call him, Will be sexing him on his next moult when he will be a bit bigger. Hopefully a female but for now I call him as a male (just for simplicity until I find out)
Super happy to see his first moult and can’t wait for more of them to come!

there are no nutrients or moisture in the old exo, so the T won't eat it. Most likely it'll just leave the dry and fragile exo in some corner or wrap it up like trash.
