This male P. texanus molted to subadulthood outside of his nest, so I moved him somewhere I could watch and make sure he makes it ok, especially in case he needed assistance. I've actually never watched a spider molt outside of their web before, so this was interesting to witness. From the carapace exoskeleton popping to regaining hydraulics, it took about an hour or a bit more (first clip is sped up 10x). Because he didn't have the benefit of gravity helping, as he otherwise would, hanging upside down in the nest, I gently removed the exoskeleton on his butt with a damp qtip for him.
After the old exoskeleton is off, the spider has to regain hydraulics in their muscles and legs. That's when all the jerking in the limbs and muscles in the head happens. It's really crazy to watch! The last video is after the hydraulics have returned to his legs and he's just resting. He's since eaten 3 cricket meals and is doing great, so this out-of-nest moltong experience didn't leave him any worse for wear.
