Heart pounding molt

[8leggedfreak]

Well, this was something quite unexpected, my obt molted again. It had just molted around Aug. 23 so I wasn't expecting it to molt again. So when I saw the exuvium(?) I thought the worst. I started gingerly pull it's webbing out of the way to check on him and he shot out of his burrow & cage, and took off on me. After a heart pounding game of hide and seek, I finally found him and got him back in his container safe and sound.

Quite the surprise to have him molt so soon, I figured it'd be another month or two. He's now about an inch big.
