Lloth (tarantula) has moulted finally!

I'm not sure is the pics will do justice, but pre-moult she was red phase in coloring, now she is gray phase.
The difference is that she has gone from a mahogany red to a dusty pink color.

I'm just happy it was a safe moult as that is a very dangerous thing for a tarantula to go through.

Here are some before thumbnails

She does look a little uncomfortable in the two last pictures, was it the sun or was she just spooked a little?

To be honest, I've not really read up on spider care. Does her moulting affect her eating habits any? pre and post moult?

She was defensive in her recent pics. Moulting makes them very vulnerable and soft, so I do blame her.

She does stop eating before a moult and won't resume until a few days have passed to allow her exoskeleton to harden as well as her fangs.

I don't know much about spider care either, but I do know she is a beautiful spider

great pictures. pretty T

Very cute!
