| G. rosea #3 Molt - June 2004 |
| Several days before molting, sitting on my wrist. I got this tarantula as a 3/4" spiderling in May 2002 from John Hoke at espiderworld.com |
| Looking down on G. rosea #3 on its back, molting process has begun. |
 |
| This picture is taken facing the head. The spider has started pushing out of its exuvia. You can see the newly emerged fangs. |
 |
| Now the new pedipalps push out. Notice the web mat G. rosea #3 spun to molt on. The common name for this tarantula is the Chilean Rose. Spiders have no hair, but bristles which are called setae. |
