My skin bin.

Thats a good idea there joshtop, i think i may try that sometime soon.

You all should try stuffing and mounting your skins, I only have a few T's and hardely ever get shed's, But at the pet store i work our 9 year old female Goliath Birdeater molted and while it was still soft I was able super glue the carpace back on, and then very carefully reglued the seams where the abdomen split until there was only a small part not glued, then I rolled up cotton balls into little peices and carefully stuffed them in until the abdomen looked full, and then glued the last hole together. If you do it very well you can barely see the seam glued together and the spider looks very life like, and can be mounted in a glass or plastic case, or however you may like. Drop me a message if you have any questions about this, Take care--Josh Topp

And it wont decay that way?

Anyway a little OT, anyone know how to preserve dead t's?

I find that the molts are too brittle and always fall apart or disintegrate in my hand.

Freeze drying works, but it makes them very fragile.

If i do anything with the molts I take a squirt bottle with hot water in it and mist it a few times. This makes them pliable enough to move and reshape them.
