Ok.. please excuse me but there is many threads.. and I cannot go through them all to accomplish a "mix" in to add these photos.. Ok.. This T molted ultimate about a month ago.. was nice male... had him since a sling.. today I looked in on him.. and was strange both his legs were separated (gone) in the identical place on each side of his carapace ??.. and he's webbed them up.. I'm sorry if I shouldn't have created a thread.. but I just cannot ever manage to post right here... like this male.. I would have loved to send him off or let someone have him.. but I lack the ability to post what is supposed to be legit I guess.. I was anxious about this one.. so excuse me please..

He still looks functional. You cold still send him off as long as you let the person on the other side knowabout his legs first. That is definately wierd though.

As long as his pedipalps are intact, he should be OK. His front two legs are OK, so that's a bonus.

In the future, you may want to raise the humidity while the tarantula is moulting.
