The absolute freakiest time for your T.

And I was right. The T is on back and the molt begins.

So much preparation. Doesn't feed and builds this web. If something goes wrong, can lose legs or die.

If you are Sam the hobbit and this is Shelob; this is when she can be killed.

Fingers crossed all goes well and you get a brand new shiny T.

And I was right. The T is on back and the molt begins.

My scariest moment for my C. Versicolor was when it (sex unknown) was seemingly stuck mid molt, as I saw it was just clearing the chelicerae from it's old exoskele. I went to my 8 hour shift with a fifteen min trip to and from and came back to it having made little progress. I was nervous, I tapped it's webbing with my tongs to check if it was even alive. I decided to give it water just to see if it would do anything. To my surprise, my T actually drank some water and seemed to get a second wind. I was elated. My versi did come out of that one with a Grinch foot on one leg, but was normal after its molt.
