Molting is a process tarantulas go though as they grow. They shed off their old skin much like snakes. The entire molting process is a very difficult and strenuous experience for your pet spider.

A couple of weeks prior to molting your spider will most likely refuse to eat. You may also notice small clear droplets of fluid seeping from its leg joints. This phenomenon does not happen to all tarantulas, so do not be alarmed if you do or do not witness this.  The spider may also lose hairs on its abdomen and will appear to have a bald spot.
