Bring on the molt!

[Tegenaria]

My G rosea is looking ready to molt, but I wish he/she would get on with it, and emerge a new T with an appetite for cricket!

When i look closely at her back it looks a little like when we get sunburnt skin and it begins to peel, but in this case its underneath rather than on the surface!

Woah she does look like she needs a moult! thats one hefty rump

 

[MrT]

It looks like two sets of pictures. One old set with lots of hair, and one bald ready to molt Your a sneeky one.
Has it molted yet and how'd it go?

All the pics, apart fom the last one, were taken on the same night, seconds apart!
Still no molt yet.
I saw something weird last night tho-she had been on the prowl and was stood head down, and a water droplet was coming out of her mouth-she was nowhere near the water bowl!

I've seen my G. pulchra do that. Someone told me they drip venom to clean their fangs. Does look a bit funny.

Ooh, its venom, nice thought!
Do slings have venom?
