looks like its having a good stretch. Tarantula need to stretch out their larger new bodies that have been squeezed into their smaller bodies. Its a race against time before the body hardens so it will pump out the legs, bend, stretch and repeat. Its a good idea to keep disturbance down to an absolute minimum for the next few days, over a week for an adult, and not feed it until its finished. The moulting process is when your tarantula is at its weakest, but they've been doing this since before humans walked the earth, they'll get along fine without our help. Sit back and enjoy the show.
