Molts are always exciting, no matter how many Ts you have or how long you've had them! Fingers crossed you've got a lady :)

I'm quite new to the hobby but I have 3 tarantulas, the one above, 2 juveniles, a Nhandu chromatus which spends all day in a hole it dug and a C. darlingi, which bolted during its first rehouse
Probably not the best for someone who's 13 but it scared some common sense into me

Oh how exciting! I always feel like I'm watching someone give birth to themselves when mine are molting. They get their new clothes and sometimes a new attitude. Enjoy the show and let us know how everything turns out.

A T molting, a rather novel behavior, might have to call the news :troll:

Males have greater value in expanding your collection than females in my opinion.
