My daughter wanted a tarantula, so I went with her and picked out a Rose-hair. She named her Bella. Fast forward a few months and I loved her so much, I got my second, a Pink toe. Bella had stopped eating for a couple months and finally I noticed her in the molt position this morning! Right now, evening she is slowly moving her legs and seems to be pushing off the old skin. Go Bella!

Have not witnessed a molt yet. But from what i have read. could be hours or days till she flips back over. it is pretty exhausting for them. make sure she has some water to get to though. Pretty sure shell be thirsty when she is through.
