Hey, had something funky happen. I searched the forums but only found one other post that didn't seem analogous.
Context, I rehoused my T albopilosus yesterday, not realizing how large the abdomen was. Her previous tank was opaque and she liked to hide, so I was already too deep into it before I noticed.
Anyway, this morning I check on the spiders and she's molting. She's in the perfect position for a picture, so I capitalized on it and took one. I went about my business watering and performing maintenance, then checked on her again before I left the spider room. Thing is, I found her normal at this point.
Anybody ever had a T "cancel" a molt before? I opened her cage very gently as to limit disturbance, but she probably didn't like the light much.
These two photos were taken 10 minutes apart.
