I've been collecting tarantulas for over 15 yrs. And have mountains of molts from a variety of species. Always wanted to do something with them and this seems perfect...great video, look forward to seeing how it works for me...

my rosie, scarlette, just molted and my wife is thrilled about mounting her molt. thank you so much for the intuitive walkthrough.

I'm so horrified of spiders I wouldn't even touch a molt with a 10 foot pole.. But I find this SOOO interesting.

WoW - you're a pro !! It's great that you share this for all of the other Tarantula owners who have never done this before. The mount looks really professional !!

If I was going to adjust the fangs I would go through the trouble of putting the moult in a defensive posture.

Thank you for sharing! I wasn’t sure if I could use glue of any sort, but I didn’t like the idea of having pins all over the place! So this was SO helpful and turned out great!

Fantastic tutorial! Just love the end result and detailed explanation. Thanks for sharing!

the inside of that tarantula molt is so spine chilling

how can you not have anymore followers? your channel have serious potential! i find it very educating and interresting!!! good work!

When I did this for a friend (I don't own a t yet, but he is super sucky when it comes to art), I reupholstered the cloth part where the t sits with a pastel pink, and it really made the t pop. It was pretty cute, kinda a pastel goth look. 💖

one of my friends told me to check out some videos on how to do this as my second big girl saranael (grammastola rosea) just molted today and my friend pinned my last molt of my lilith ( mexican red knee) and now i am working on my sara's molt thanks to this video, much love from canada hope to see more videos

Great tutorial. Just a little trick I use, if you make a "relaxing jar" or tub it will be much easier on the molt. Water and soap can discolor and damage the molt. I have been using this trick for years and it has never damaged anything I mount. It does take a little longer but its safer for the specimen.

Sweet! I just got my first T a pink toe 😊 it molted the night I brought it home and I'm going to keep all her molts and keep them in something this. This is perfect!!

It would've been cool to see your actual tarantula next to this

I gave my molt away to my sisters school, but I'm so doing this with my next molt. it would be sweet to frame a GBB molt!!! I'm so excited now

Excellent tutorial! Thank you.

Great tutorial, thank you! I have Mexican Red Knee and Chilean Rose moults waiting to be mounted and now I have watched this I look forward to trying :)

Thank you very much! I have plenty of molts that I plan to display. You gave me lots of ideas with this video, greetings from a fellow T owner from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Ima try this same technique this weekend! Wish me luck! Mine wont be as large but, still a decent sized tarantula! Thank you so much for this video!!!! Supremely helpful!

Hi.... I'm one of the minority who doesn't have Facebook account. Ex hubby is a psycho, I had to relocate and change ID. I'm finding that there are some KZfaq T owners who are happy to answer my incessant questions 😆👍🏼 Your videos were some of the first I watched, and your calm and patient attitude really impressed me !

Thank you for this video!!!! My T just molted and I've been wanting to mount it.

That's awesome. Now I have a new project for me and my wife when our Grammostola rosea molts again! Thank you for the video!

Thanks for sharing this...I have a box full of molts...Always kept them...Now I know what to do with the best ones..

The thumbnail looks like a Rogue tarantula duel wielding swords.

Very good presentation.

Amazing! Great video.

I love listening to your voice. Its very relaxing :)

Great tutorial! One thing everybody should know before trying this - do NOT get superglue on your cotton ball. It starts smoking and can create white spots.

What A Great Tutorial! Thanks For This Video I Have An Idea What Am I Going To Do If My Tarantulas Moulted. 💙

Lol I love that the first two push pins gave it little pink eyes 🥹

13:22 It has pink eyes, staring at us.lol

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This helped a lot!

Thank you very much for your video, it helped me a lot in the creation of "stuffed" exuviae of my molted in L10 Brachypelma Albopilosum. With best regards.

I love this idea

good job, awesome video, very informative

Soo cool. Thx for sharing

My A. Geniculata molted recently and I actually got her molt so I'm super excited :D

Great Video 🇨🇦

Senshii, just thought you'd like to know you can buy dyed needle felting wool to match whatever colour you need for stuffing the abdomen, which is a lot easier than spending ages colouring in with a felt tip. Even better if you get a felting needle to go with it you can mould the wool into any shape and it will be really firm and solid. It's worth looking into, there are loads of needle felting tutorials on youtube. Awesome video and I can't wait to try this when one of my Ts moults!

Fantastic, always wondered how to do this.

Great idea! Would definitely mount my GBBs molt!

Thank you for a fine tutorial video. Best wishes from Bo

I just stumbled upon you and I am surprised that you do not have a greater following. Pretty neat idea to mount the molt!

very beautifull!!!!!!!!

great video thank you very much that looks awesome i cant wait for one of my T's to molt haha. Subbed!

Senshii, I loved your video thank you for showing us how to do this, we just recently bought a pinktoe tarantula, my gf's been so worried because since coming home with us she has not ate, I sorta figured she was either molting or getting used to the new environment, long story short I guess we can all guess what happened.

This is wicked helpful. Thank you. Now how's aboot a tutorial on talking one's Regalis into molting? In your experience, is bribery via silk worm effective?

when the two push pins were by the fangs it looked like cute cartoon eyes on the tarantula from above lol

Thank you so much for this!

I am seriously considering buying one or two spiderlings. But I am learning as much as I can before I get them, rather than learn by mistakes. KZfaq is an excellent source of info from real owners, so I am not rushing, I am enjoying learning..... I think I shall be ready to buy them in 2 - 4 weeks. I will be asking UK owners where they recommend I buy spiderlings from. I am disabled and housebound, so I have to do everything via the internet. My disabilities will not affect my ability to care for them.

loved b this video, wish I known this sooner, I would have done my rosehair molt.

thanks for sharing that was cool to know!

Great video! I have a 6" N. coloratovillosus about to molt, would love to try this with her molt. Thanks for the info!

amazing. subbed!!!!

If you don’t use the pink you might have a problem... less error with the pink ones... so... I died 😂😂😂😂😂

awesome

u can also u tacky glue craft glue. it is clear and gives u more time to work with

Stranger than fiction? My B Smithi just went thru very bad moult. But.....the moult is more beautiful than my refreshed spider.Her name is Getacat.

Great vid! I've been wanting to do this with the 200 or so molts I have, but for some awful reason I can't seem to get one with a somewhat intact abdomen, they all get ruind..it's maddening lol.

Cool af :)

Neat. How often do they molt. You could put the label on the back

Briliaint video, could you let us know where you purchase your frames x

Wow 😯

I have an A. geniculata (Brazilian whiteknee) that's about six months old that just molted and I'm thinking about using this technique to mount it in a threat posture since his name is "B.A" meaning "Bad Attitutde" after the character played by Mr. T in "The A Team."

Could you use a small art brush while it's wet to gently fluff the hairs up?

I love this video. I wonder if it will work on a molt from 4 years ago. I have a molt from a haplopelma vonwirthi that died on me after I tried rescuing it from a large pet store chain that had no idea how to care for any tarantula what so ever. It would be nice to be able to mount it as I really had a soft spot for that particular T.

Dumb question, but how would you recommend stuffing a cotton ball into an in-tact abdomen? Would it be better to cut it open or try to carefully and slowly stuff it through what little of an opening there is?

Niceee

Omg I want to do this so bad

How do you open the spider? or does it work automatically through the soapy water?

will the hairs on the tarantula from the molt still make you itch? I am considering doing this

Great video, I might do this with some of my Stirmi/Blondi/LP Moults (:

Just a heads up to anyone, I'd recommend testing your adhesive around the marker beforehand to see if it reacts at all. I used clear-dry epoxy I had on hand, and when it got in contact with my cheap brown marker color, it turned everything a nasty intense green.

How long will it last before decaying?

arachnophobic friends be scared of me

With my tarantula when i did it's not I putted in red glowing eyes in it.

I wanna buy 1

How sawft is it?

Does it matter how long the molt was dried out for? I found a woman who Sells dried molts on etsy and I wanted to mount them myself.

Nice video. are you active on arachnoboards?

when you touch a tarantula do you get the hairs stuck in you???

what is a molt? is it like a snake skin?? is that hollow?

This is very interesting. I believe I will attempt this on my Red Knee molt. You could probably sell "Tarantula molt mounting kits" and make some cash, haha.

in response to your question "how's it going": not bad.

why do you need soapy water? plain water won't work?

Love the channel ! Do u have a twitter?

Its like preserving a dead tarantula but its not the T its just the molt

make expo vid please :D

Can I buy a molt online. I don't own a tarantula or know anybody who dose…

Hi can you help me out please

Cant tell if you're 15 or 50 haha Jk lol you have a good channel

Is that spider dead....?

Seggen

Damn! I could not be fucking arsed doing all this, too much hassle.

My T broke her own molt

IS IT WIERD THAT I NAMED MY CHACO GOLDEN KNEE COCO WAY BEFORE I SAW ANY OF YOUR VIDS ? sorry for the caps

Hello, just subscribed to your channel and love the videos. Not sure if you have heard of Petcenterusa.org / Paul Becker. He has tons of tarantulas at great prices. keep the videos coming.

care video's and expo pick ups? :D

I'd do that just to scare people

I can't touch that.
