This wednesday mah gurl Mabel finally molted.
She was declining noms for 2 weeks, which was a big sign that she was getting ready to molt.
And just as I came home from work I saw her lying on her back on a self webbed carpet and was able to observe the molting process which went rather quick for a juvenile tarantula (about 2-3 hours). Everything went smoothly luckily. If you visit my twitter you can see more pics and videos of the process.^^
(espiecially on this pic you can clearly see her fangs which turn black once her new exoskeleton hardens)
