After doing some Google'ing.. WET MOLTS!
After all that happened, I’ve come to a conclusion that the deaths after molts were because of wet molt. I may be wrong, but that’s my conclusion for now. All of the sources I’ve come across say that it’s unavoidable, as it can happen randomly to any tarantula.. which is super sad and worrying. If you’ve been following all of the videos, you may realize that I’ve lost quite a few tarantulas the same way - After molting. Now I’m just really hoping it doesn’t happen again.

Tom Moran has spoken a few times about having some of his T's die right after molting and for him it was a substrate issue, I highly suggest you look into your substrate mix. This seemed to happen more to you after you changed up your sub.
Replying to boost, this sounds likely
@@batterybrainz It seems to make the most sense

There is something in the place where you leave them, many of your spiders are dying, maybe there is too much humidity, or too little, or the temperature itself, but it is a problem in the place.Maybe it's a good idea, you talk to a biologist specialized in this area, maybe even take him to that place, and show him, it might help.
Not easy thing to do, but if you can, yes, do it man 🙁
I'm sorry for your loss
Sinse he got the air con unit
@@jyvaineorchids2255 I'm saying this to the boy in the video 😂😂
@@henriqueborges2983 Exotic said it wasn't humidity
@@shindarygermangodzilla3799 how would he know
Damn dude, its such a crumby feeling when you arent sure why.
I'm sorry to see you upset.
You are a real source of knowledge and inspiration.
One thing I can say is, sometimes when tarantulas are really old they may molt perfectly but they can also pass away shortly after… but in your case she’s not old so that’s very strange… not sure why that’s happening
Check your ac to see if it needs cleaning and filter changed. Also get a good air purifier and check the humidity of your room.
Do tarantulas really need an air purifier?
@@sidneygordon2804 no they don't!
How old are they a long time can get no fresh air and it can be be hungry
@@sidneygordon2804 I don’t know but it’s not wrong to be careful.
@@sidneygordon2804 No lol.
Sorry for your loss.. you're doing good by these tarantulas. We're all learning together, and it helps when you show everything good and bad. It helps start discussions and get the word out when something bad could be going around, like the development of nematodes and or other afflictions. You help and inspire a lot of people, including myself. Please don't give up
I'm so sorry Exotic! My deepest condolences for your loss T! I hope you don't quit this wonderful hobby of yours, I've learned so much and even conquered my arachnophobia thanks to your videos!
Poor girl, sorry that happened!! She’s such a gorgeous spider, that really sucks when your confused about it. Glad you think you found an explanation gets you a few steps closer to closure!
I'm so sorry for your loss... I hope you find out what is going on. Please don't quit.
I was thinking the same cuz the molt was fine, it wasn't stuck, but I wonder if there's something that affects them whilst the new 'skin' is hardening, maybe a glue or something, even something in the air as it only seems to affect the newly molted ones... Clean the a/c perhaps maybe there's a build up of some sort in the filter? Or someone near by is spraying chemicals...
Check for any weird mold or mildew growing in the room or the house ,Check for any unknown mushrooms in any tank and remove them carefully with a good air mask on cause if can kill your T's it could affect you too , and the last thing I can think of is Check for stuff like spores or mold in your dirt mixtures especially if you add ANYTHING frome outside or Check the quality of what you are feeding them Check your roaches monitor how many are dying or if they exhibit any weird movements or behavior and replace the colony other than that it could just be really bad luck
Yeah, spores or mushrooms is what I was thinking. It could indicate a much larger issue one that might affect him too, lomg term.
I'm sorry for your loss please don't quit i love watching your video all the time. You always take good care of your pets
Dehydration prior to the Molt. using the water in her body to process the molt is exhausting and by the time they make it to water to drink the organs has already started to shut down.
only things i can think off is if there was a temperature decrease after the molt so she struggled to harden up or she just didnt have the energy after it because the molt looks clean nothing seems stuck unless something happened like she molted got spooked and bolted and it caused some internal damage but it is very odd.
Sadly bad things happen :( ... Hope the others will overcome molding!
it's called molting, molding means spores
XD molding, you made me laugh
Indeed
Please don't quit the hobby that would suck dude, sorry you lost your precious T :( Hope you get to the bottom of what is going on.
Yes please don’t quit dude we love your channel and t vids
I think you people should quit encouraging this, and this kid should get a life and quit being a culture vulture.
@@ST3PH3N89 what the hell are you talking about
One of mine died right after molt, and I found tiny flies in her tank
@@NMW80 why do you write that under a random comment
Don't be sorry hun. It's a very hard thing to find something you love passed away. Don't give up on them they need you. You're extremely smart. You know them by name and memorize all of their names and all their needs.
😢😢😢😢😢
gosh that sucks.. i'm sorry to hear that. i had a similar thing happen to my birds over the Canadian thanksgiving weekend. the worst thing is not knowing what is causing it. hopefully things start getting better soon!
1:17 you can see a mite crawling on the rock
stop this is my worst fear for my tarantula :(( im so sorry for your loss :((
So sorry for the lost of your tarantulas T! I hope you are having a good day even with your lost.
Thank you for explaining this. I just lost two T’s just a couple days ago due to this. I appreciate it ❤️
She's so pretty 😭 rest in peace baby
There is a lot of construction by you, maybe some concrete dust, or sealant is blowing into your spider room. That's all I can think of.
If they are eating too much calcium ( feeders have too much calcium) it can lead to the Tarantula's death right after molt. It only happens with a small amount of Ts . Sorry for your loss.
That’s probably what it is. Calcium makes the exoskeleton harden. I imagine that’s got something to do with it
This may be a stretch, but I see that you've been using chemicals to get rid of ants and cockroaches in your place. If any of them were covered in the chemicals it's possible they could've carried the chemicals to the tarantula room. Since it's usually happening after they molt, it might not be the case, but you never know. Definitely suggest using sticky traps instead for your pest problems.
He tried a sticky trap at first, but that trap did absolutely nothing.
I suggest that nobody ever use any forms of sticky traps. They catch more than just harmful creatures and are simply completely inhumane in my opinion.
For rodents there is loads of better traps, make sure its the right size, and for insects there is natural deterrents or a special chalk that will kill them if they contact it.
That probably it bc he uses ant chemicals in that room before
I’m so sorry for your losses, I really am, it’s actually heartbreaking…
Is that Miss Brazilian Black? NOOO! Poor baby... RIP baby girl.
😢😢😢😢
If a tarantula is molting during high humidity, gently moving the whole enclosure to a dry room might help, like a positive pressure grow tent pulling air through an inline dehumidifier setup.
Not sure if humidity is a factor, only one way to find out though.
I'm sorry for your loss. I was just checking my subs to see if any new vids, saw you had a new vid and was so happy, then I clicked on your channel and saw the title and was sad the sec I saw it. 😭
I'm so sorry 😔 hopefully you get it figured out what's been going on just know you're doing your best and your spiders love you and the hard work you do ❤️
So sorry for the loss of your gorgeous T. Please don’t quit your hobby. Your channel is helping to slowly get over my fear of spiders.
Maybe the place is too squeezy or lack of oxygen?
It’s sad to see a female die after a molt, but at the same time as they get older, they struggle to molt more which means they are using more energy and water.
Plus, it could have been something internal. Appearances can be deceiving.
I feel your pain, I just lost my male P. Cancerides, Napoléon. RIP buddy.
Sorry to see you have lost on of your Ts I hope you get to the bottom of what's been killing your spiders this is heartbreaking
Im so sorry about your tarantula, its never easy😕 and maybe for future rehousing, what if you had some type of label that has the date that you moved the tarantula into that enclosure? That way you have a quick reference to how long they have been in there?
Losing a pet is never easy, I'm sorry for your loss
OH NO!! Poor girl! She was so beautiful too. I'm so sorry you lost her... what a terrible shame.💔💔
Sometimes nature isn’t kind, to anything or anyone. Maybe she was simply weak and didn’t survive the process. Don’t beat yourself up, you care a lot for them. I don’t know much of anything about spider care, but you seem to be doing it right
Damn that’s a big loss. Those are getting harder and harder to get and more expensive
I got a one inch for 50 bucks at a discount he’s molting right now
I am so sorry for your loss. I am not at all knowledgeable on this subject. Hope you solve this problem.
Aww sorry to hear that bud poor polchra, I always get nervous in pre molt phase my pamphobeteous antinious Female molted recently and during premolt I make sure she's left alone and humidity is 75% to 80% in her enclosure she had a bad molt and her front leg seems permanently injured as she has molted twice and still has one weak leg but she's doing fine but she's a mature female and 9 inches leg span now 😀
Thank you exotic lair you made me get over my fear of tarantulas The same thing happened to my tarantula it’s fine
ive had multiple molt deaths. it happens man its a 50/50 shot they make it through and it be wise to let nature do its thing, getting involved could cause more harm, I lost my second one when I tried to help her and she lost 3 legs and her fangs got snapped.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Plot twist: they're playing dead to try to escape. They've seen others be left out and about that don't move.
I'm sorry for your loss exotics lair but I have a feeling they need more space to Molt tho
Sorry for your loss 🖤
I can hear in the sound of your voice how devastated you are 😭
My Condolences to you..
Aww no, such a beautiful girl... I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you'll get to the bottom of this soon.
Since u have been bringing them into custom incosures they have been dieing as I’m not a tarantula keeper I recommend checking enclosed because I think they might be the reason
I was thinking the same cuz the molt was fine, it wasn't stuck, but I wonder if there's something that affects them whilst the new 'skin' is hardening, maybe a glue or something, even something in the air as it only seems to affect the newly molted ones... Clean the a/c perhaps maybe there's a build up of some sort in the filter? Or someone near by is spraying chemicals...
Very Common For this to happen. Many People say that it is exertion!!
Ahh, good to see the mortien i sprayed in those enclosures is working!
Sorry for ya loss mucka Hooe all ya other ones are well
I am so sorry for your lost I got a tarantula because of you thank u you make the best content
Nothing in this world Lives forever, you can't change anything sometimes it's just time to go, then unfortunately time in this World has just run out. Unfortunately, that's the way things go, I'm sorry for you.
Are you using anything to control ants/other bugs? Anything you may be using on your reptiles or mammals for fleas and mites? Are you using a product like reptisafe for your water source or are you using tap water? If you are using a topical or spray flea treatment for any mammals it can get everywhere in their hair/dander and cause sudden death in inverts appearing randomly.
Man that sucks, I hope the situation gets resolved fast.
I'm not a tarantula keeper, but I'm under the impression that they are not very durable animals. I've seen them die for the most stupid reasons. So maybe it's just bad luck. You have a ton of spiders so statistically, some of them will die prematurely. Sorry for your loss
I'm sorry you lost another pet. We know you take care of them. I hope you figure it out soon.
Do some rare types maybe do less well in captivity, or even have a different lifespan?
Man, thats such a terrible thing to be happening. I hope this doesnt happen to any other tarantulas.
Tempurature and humidity is all i can think of, im not a spider keeper so dont mind me
"So this is my Grandma's toilet pulchra" gotta love these subtitles...
I just laughed at that and I shouldn't have. 💀💀💀
You may want to contact an entomologist at an university. They might be able to give you an answer, whether off the bat or after analysing your situation (environment, methods of spider keeping, external factors, etc.).
Probably not enough humidity or not enough water or too much stress.
Im so sorry for your lost
maybe the water wasn't fresh or clean enough.
maybe parasites or worms.
This has always been a fear of mine with my Ts :( I'm so srry for your loss, she was such a beautiful girl.
The way they shrivel up and die is tragic 😶
Never thought i would get so emotive over a spider but i just imagined if that had happened to me after taking care and providing for a few years like you did and i teared up instantly😥
RIP beautiful lady ❤️
Had a similar issue for a while. Like every other specimen that molted for a while. It was extremely disheartening.
I’m sorry that u had to go through this once again
I am really sorry this happend man.
Mr exotics lairr keep your pet tarantulas strong they must be very careful at molting❤️❤️❤️
Hi, as much as I have arachnophobia I feel bad for you and all of your tarantulas that died it must be really hard for u when they die so I hope u have a great Christmas and also I hope no more of your tarantulas die and have a great
day.
Sorry for your loss bro..
My boy died kinda like this but it was about a week after molt. He acted like he forgot how to eat and just chewed on his food instead of normal pounce and strike… I was absolutely heartbroken. The shop said maybe chems in/on food or water. (No real way to know, but i do know the tap water here is awful).
I didnt have the enclosure too wet or dry…he was actually doing the mating dance several days after molt… his fangs looked very good… It did get down to 74*F in my apartment during that week but i didnt think that was too cold? Idk either man.
Im trying again now with a baby of the same specie (T. albopilosus)
It seems to be an environmental issue. Do you have an air purifier for the room? Do any filters need to be cleaned? See if there's a way to test your air quality. I'm sorry for another loss of a T. Hopefully you'll get to the bottom of this soon.
It’s your humidity!
Oh wow. She was so beautiful!
Why is this happening, another tarantula die?! Poor girl, she just molted alright without an issue
i am truly sorry for your lost
NOOOOO!!! Not another one ;(
So sorry for your losses I don't think it was due to anything that you have done, I can understand why you are rackin your brains for a cause. You luv your animals and its only natural to be hurt when they pass but plzzz dont blame yourself ..
Does it have to do anything with their food? I don't know much about parasites that could still be passed after the host was eaten by a tarantula, if your cockroaches are parasite free, every single one of them, then idk what other explication could be, they don't eat in pre-mult (can't type and you taught me that) so I think it could be a previous meal that may had something
That's what I think of, feel free to correct me if im wrong
In the other chains i watch the soil dont look this dry , they spray a look of water with a spraying bottle
Personnally i think molting is really a risky for a spider , they probably need the perfect air , humidity condition
Im not a specialist , just my opinion
Were those Ts near the ant poison ? Could there be something it the water ? I would suggest using bottled water for a little while, and see what happens.
But don’t give up!
Odd idea, but what time of the year they molted? Maybe the change in season of when they molt there is a difference in humidity/warmth/overall weather? We had a turtle that would go in wintersleep every year, but as we changed houses with more insulation, he suddenly started wintersleep early authem and woke up late winter, dying shortly after. I have no idea how 'rare' it is that tarantulas in the wild die because of molting, say nature did its thing and on avarage its 1 of 5, the odds can be against your favor.
The only thing I can honestly think is that you are just getting really unlucky and they are getting stuck in their molds and dying, no real reason it just happens as you've shown on the channel before but sometimes they can get fully stuck in the old mold and can't get out. Hope this stops soon, good luck Mr. Lair and sorry that this is happening to you.
When you have a lot of female tarantulas, by luck and chance this type of thing can happen more.
It's not mold, which is a spore. The correct word for shedding of a skin is called "molt".
"molt" and she wasn't stuck in her molt she got out crawled into her burrow and died. That absolutely do get stuck in their molts but this was not the case here
Motivation
@@InTheGarden1960 Oops, didn't realize I was spelling it that way, thanks for the correction lol
Damn I’m sorry this keeps happening to your Ts 😩 I have no idea but im sure someone in the comments can help. Hopefully someone will know what it is 🤷🏻♀️
The most common problem during molting is for the spider to get stuck inside the old carapace. Most of the time it's just a small part of the body that is stuck, but sometimes the spider actually can become trapped inside the old carapace, which leads to a slow death that might be why or the substrate or the heat.
It could be the humidity or the temperature or both.
I JUST had this issue with my Goliath Birdeater juvenile/sling and my LSD Earth Tiger. They were great, but recently molted and died shortly after. There was water and I didn’t change the care or substrate. I used to never have issues with my T’s passing away unless they were mature males, until this past year. It was super weird. They would just not eat after the molt even though the molt went fine and they died a few days later. Still not sure what caused it, but upped the moisture in my enclosures slightly, so hopefully that fixes it. I’m so sorry about your T :-(
These things are sent to test you. It's a learning curve you did all you could, hoping that a beautiful healthy girl would be waiting for the post molt dinner. Not this time next time though will be good.
RIP Baby girl 😢
Maybe have a spider specialist( like a vet) come take a look at your room and enclosures.
So sad rip to these amazing girls
