What the HECK is this thing?!

Entomology lovers....We found this "shell" of a spider on our deck the other morning. I didn't realize that spiders shed their skin...am I wrong? After my screaming fest was over, we did bag up it's remains until we are able to identify him. It is the size of the palm of my hand.

Yes, spiders molt!

Look at those fresh new fangs!

I'm not sure if I can handle watching that entire video...are you telling me that ^^ is what I have my hands on? Oh, dear! LOL

Lol! Just think of it as a new suit for you!

Ew.

From what I am told...something much bigger is lurking after shedding that skin...help!
