savioursephI came in from shopping a few hours ago to be met with this:
"Wait a minute!", I hear you say, "that spider's upside down!".
Indeed. Which could mean only one thing:
THE MOULT HAD BEGUN!
And finally (old skin removed from the tank):
Still waiting for hir to flip back the right way so I can take a picture of hir shiny new back, but there you go - the moulting process of a Chilean Rose tarantula. :D

You got any other creepy crawlies? When I was younger, my father had hissing cockroaches and a giant Tanzanian millipede. Fun times.
