Question

My rosehair tarantula just shed his/her exoskeleton what does that mean?

Answer 1

It's growing.

Answer 2

it means you can have so much fun with the molted exoskeleton it's not even funny. i used to love it when my spider molted. you can scare the c**p out of so many people. it looks just like the real thing. as for the spider, he is going to be pretty immobile for a day or two while waiting for his shell to harden. after that he will be back to normal. take out the shell and have fun. throw it at your mom, act like it's crawling up someones back. the possibilities are endless.

Answer 3

It molted.  They tend to do this a lot when they are young (few months) as they are growing fast and need more space, and much less when they're full grown (~once a year).  Make sure not to feed it right away as it could get hurt by the crickets before its exoskeleton hardens.

Answer 4

its growing. you have to be careful because just after it sheds, its body is very soft and it can bleed to deaht. while they are young they shed often. as they mature they shed less.
