Yes...she hasn't come out yet so I can't tell you yet how beautiful she is. LolIt´s a bit scary the first couple of times you witness it, but you will get used to it. What species is this? GBB?

That will be me I hope. I'm so amazed and enamoured with them. -confessions of a former arachnophobe-This ^^^
But even after long time of keeping, it is still awesome to see. I know a breeder in the Netherlands grabs a chair, some chips and a beer, and watches the whole thing happening, even after 15+ years of keeping tarantula.
I haven't. It's squeaky bum time for me every time.It´s a bit scary the first couple of times you witness it, but you will get used to it. What species is this? GBB?
I was lucky, I was scheduled late this morning but typically we will "split the day" on the weekend so I was able to come in late! I watched it and was so amazed. You can watch all the videos you want but seeing it in person is awe inspiring.I found my t stirmi on her back right before I had to work. She was all done by lunch break, so I missed th we whole thing. I would have just sat there and watched her if she would have done it on the weekend.
I'm guessing I won't ever get used to it either! I'm a worrier by nature.I haven't. It's squeaky bum time for me every time.
The last time my porteri molted, I was walking by with my dinner plate and happened to see that her carapace had popped. I just sat down and ate right there--so cool!This ^^^

It is not so much the molting itself that worries me. I actually feel some relief when i see a spider molting. The premolt phase can be worrying for me sometimes, especially when it takes six months, and i see the abdomen getting smaller.I'm guessing I won't ever get used to it either! I'm a worrier by nature.
