A lovely photo session outside in the sunshine turns ugly really quick. It wasn't really my fault, I was calmly taking pictures of my freshly molted Chilean rose tarantula when the wrist strap on my camera slid down and bonked her right on the carapace (head). Needless to say we were both slightly startled. It took her nearly fifteen minutes to calm down again.
P.S. what does a tiger have to do to get some invertebrates in the species listing?

I didn't know their fangs were white after molting. I've seen different species of roaches and mealworms that are white right after molting, I guess it's like that. That's really cool. This was a few days after molting, but seeing as I've had her for about two years and this is the first time she's ever molted it was a momentous occasion.
mine just molted for the third time about a month and a half ago. There really isn't too set of a time-line for them to do it.
My lil Dozer is just over 8 years old... I never thought she would be around this long, but i got her in the seventh grade, and just now completed my third year of college. If this is your first tarantula, prepare for a long and fulfilling relationship, but only if you are committed and passionate about the relationship.
And yes, the first molting is a huge occasion - you should look on it with pride - you have simulated near perfect wild-life standards for your tarantula for a long period of time, and it has given her great growth potential. After three molts, Dozer is just bigger than the palm of my hand, and has quite the set of fangs..

Well she was my second tarantula but I have four all together now, two roses, a pink toe and a zebra knee. The little pink toe has molted about three times in the year I've had him, and the zebra knee I've had for only a few months but really needs to molt, he looks terrible.
Yes I do, i actually photographered her last shedding. :) Ill upload some. They're backwards so click from bottom to top :)
