JeremiahBullfrog: My Tarantula Molted!

JeremiahBullfrog 05.11.21	... so me and my girlfriend came down this morning and found what we thought was her dead, but alas it was her skin and she was face down in her water bowl having a big old post molt drink! We are relatively new keepers and it’s very exciting! (Many T’s can die during a molt)
zakalwe 05.11.21	Yeah when they shed their skin it’s basically a clone innit. Terrifying.
DoofDoof 05.11.21	imagine humans doing this - celebrities selling their skin husks on ebay
zakalwe 05.11.21	Stuffed with sawdust and washable.
JeremiahBullfrog 05.11.21	Literally my girlfriend said to me about humans doing this today, it would look like when Mr Krabs molted, like finding a dead body on the floor and then the actual person head first in the fridge
Sinternet 05.11.21	gamer girl skin segments
fogza 05.11.21	ewwwww
Gnocchi 05.11.21	Noob question here: does this mean anything or is it like a snake growing/skin removal thing?
zakalwe 05.11.21	Mate, he has said it molted. They moult. A spider is an eight legged thing with eight eyes.
fogza 05.11.21	Normally you buy your spider a large decorative key, and they can borrow the car
zakalwe 05.11.21	Ungrateful bloody thing. Eats you out of house and home. Keeps blowing its web into its socks and leaving them in the bedroom.
fogza 05.11.21	Spiders today!
Pheromone 05.11.21	my gran molted this time last year
fogza 05.11.21	wait... Phero... are you... a spider?
Pheromone 05.11.21	🦵 🦵 🦵 🦵 🦵 🦵 🦵 🦵
fogza 05.11.21	wait... Phero... are you... a Can Can troupe?
JeremiahBullfrog 05.11.21	This thread lmao
NorthernSkylark 05.11.21	Read as molded. Tarantulas terrify me.
zakalwe 05.11.21	And just for the record I hate spiders. Bloody horrible.
Sowing 05.11.21	awesgusting
fogza 05.11.21	I have an intense fear of spiders, like they really freak me out
protokute 05.11.21	😍😍😍😍😍😍😳😳😳😳
protokute 05.11.21	the hairy big ones 😭😬
NorthernSkylark 05.11.21	Ding dong!
JeremiahBullfrog 05.11.21	Honestly you guys, most misunderstood and underrated animals ever, they are honestly fascinating, and relatively low Maintenance too
zakalwe 05.11.21	It’s the way the things move, on top of the fangs, big arse and messy webs. Hellspawn.
MyNameIsPencil 05.11.21	it's the eyes and fangs that freak me out but if you can deal with those little freaky fuzzyballs then more power to you dude
Ryus 05.11.21	spiders r dope
Ryus 05.11.21	mexican red knees are mad cute
zakalwe 05.11.21	Stamp on it and flush it down the bog
Ryus 05.11.21	nah they eat roaches and other little fuckers so theyre chill in my book
bloc 05.11.21	Always wanted one as a kid, but never had the guts
JeremiahBullfrog 05.11.21	Normal - spider bros represent!!! Love a good Mexican red knee. Bloc - no time like the present!! I never had one until Jan and I’m totally devoted, was kinda arachnophobic too but now? Forget about it, just wish I could handle them
Sinternet 05.11.21	i like spiders except for the fuckers with long spindly legs, tarantulas are cool in my book, i remember my secondary school art teacher used to bring his in every day
Rowhaus 05.11.21	I've heard there are types that are super docile and good to handle. That whole thing where they kick hairs is pretty freaky tho. Never had any spiders but I've had a couple snakes and loved 'em with all my heart.
JeremiahBullfrog 05.11.21	Sinternet - you had a great teacher Rowhaus - there’s 2 kinds (new world - from the Americas etc with a less potent bite that kick hairs and are docile) and old world (Asia / Africa - absolutely not docile and very potent venom)
anode 05.11.21	You aren’t supposed to handle tarantulas? Or you just don’t want to?
JeremiahBullfrog 05.12.21	I can’t handle mine, P Metallica’s have a nasty bite and temper, some of the more docile ones are fine to handle
anode 05.12.21	Oh damn!
anode 05.12.21	I just looked them up and that’s an insanely beautiful critter. Almost looks like cgi movie magic lol. I guess that’s worth the trade off of not being able to handle them
JeremiahBullfrog 05.12.21	exactly, the more pretty = the more dangerous
