My A. avicularia juvie is obviously in premolt. So my question is not how to ascertain whether or not a tarantula is about to molt.
My question is this: do arboreal tarantulas tend to molt in their webbed hides above ground, or do they venture to the floor of the enclosure to shed their exoskeletons?
See, I am wondering if my A. avicularia will attempt to molt in her webbed cubby hole or not. That space is cramped. There just does not seem to be enough room inside her 'cocoon.' (that's kinda what it reminds me of.)
So. Where do arboreals tend to molt?
Here is a crappy photo of Yeva and her cubby. This was taken a couple weeks ago because I was delighted and shocked to see her out. The bundle of leaves with the webbing inside is where she stays...just so you guys have an idea about what I mentioned above.
