Feel free to laugh at me. My adult female P. metallica moulted about 2 ish weeks ago and I forgot to snag the moult out of her web sock when she was in her cork bark tube. Anyways she moved it today and I honestly forgot it was still in the enclosure. She’s not the biggest girl only about 6 inches, but when I saw the old moult laying there on the substrate I got that piercing burning feeling in my chest and my stomach plummeted because for about 1 full second I thought she was dead. Luckily she was chilling under some foliage and was as happy as a T can be. The moment was prolonged bc she wasn’t on the glass and easy to see. I had to turn my phone light on and use it as a torch to find her. I’m pretty sure I can’t be the only one here who has experienced this. Feel free to share your “moult scare” stories whilst LOLing at me.
