Very cool.
I have a time lapse camera that my wife and kids got me for my birthday last year. It seems I can never catch a spider in the act. They are always finished or just about finished by the time I see them. It's like they're self conscious saying, "Dad! I'm changing. Get OUT!"

Haha most of mine are as well. This one is my slowest grower so I feel like he's saying, "SEE! I CAN grow!" The rest seem to molt overnight and I wake up with a pile of clothes in the corner.

Lol @mjzheng I thought, "I'm melting, meeeeelting!"

It's crazy to me how those long legs come out. It boggles my brain!

My larger p. Muticus molted last night.
Friggin' missed it... Again!
Her burrow is fully visible from the side. It would have been perfect.

Here's a video of my first tarantula,a T. Albopilosus male,molting into his mature male form.
Video includes webbing the hammock,and flipping upside down.
