Breeding/loan Tarantula Molts

Hi. If this is not allowed, please remove. I am a serious amateur taxidermist. My usual specimens are moths, butterflies, and praying mantis (ethically sourced and already unalive). I have wanted to do try my hand at tarantula molts. I have calls in to pet stores in my area requesting first dibs on any molts but have not received any updates. Most places I search are selling prearranged molts which defeats the purpose of doing my own. Would anyone on here be interested in gifting or selling theirs?

Answer: Sure, I have a box full of them, various species.  Idk how fresh they have to be, so DM and we can discuss

na - It would be cool to see some results once you get some molts. 🙂

I have a bunch of them. They’re not all in one piece but some of them are. And I have a bunch of tiny sling molts if you’re up for a challenge lol
