We're Michael and Cath – the faces behind 8LegLabs, a passion project turned mission after losing two of our beloved tarantulas to post-moult complications. Like so many in the exotic pet community, we felt helpless watching them struggle during what should have been a natural, healthy process. It shook us.
After connecting with hundreds of keepers online, we discovered that post-moult issues are a shared fear in the community – something many endure but few talk openly about. That's where MoultMend began: a supplement formulated with care, research, and a heartfelt goal to support tarantulas through one of their most vulnerable stages.
We’re not a big company. We’re hobbyists, just like you – with a growing menagerie of reptiles, inverts, and all things exotic. We believe the wellbeing of our animals comes before profits, and our goal with 8LegLabs is to offer genuinely helpful, affordable products built on real keeper experience.
MoultMend is just the beginning. We’re here for the keepers, the breeders, the first-timers and the lifers. We’ll never stop learning, sharing, or innovating – because our pets deserve that from us.
