Brachypelma Vagans

I call her Freya.
@PidderPeets Yes she does. These pieces are leftover from her molt in July. I was still able to determine that she is female (with the help of AB) because she only chewed off the legs.
 
@AmberDawnDays That's why I always try to steal the molt before they get the chance to chew them too bad. Lol. I like to keep them for records, so they don't help too much of they're torn to shreds
 
@PidderPeets She molted in May and I rehomed her to this enclosure after she hardened up. Once in this enclosure she immediately piled substrate on top of her hide and created a burrow that goes underneath everything. It's like a cave. You can't really tell in the pic, but you can kind of see the opening to her burrow right underneath her. She hid herself away in that burrow for 2 months and molted in July down there. I wasn't expecting her to molt so soon. I didn't even know she had molted until she brought up the pieces and littered her enclosure with them. I think she had to chew it up to get it out of her burrow.
 
@AmberDawnDays Oh, I see. Yeah, I wouldn't expect a molt that soon either, especially because she looks pretty good sized. I definitely can't imagine her pulling that full molt out in one piece. Lol
