Spiders - The causes of wet molting are unknown. It is relatively rare so it is not well documented or understood. Some theories are:
1. the molting may occur before the new exoskeleton is sufficiently mature, so the body fluids leak out.
2. injuries to the spider's new exoskeleton that are partially healed leak.
3. enzymatic/nutritional deficiencies result in incomplete formation of the new exoskeleton
Any or all of these, or other factors yet unknown may play a role in wet molts.

How is molting in snakes different from molting in athropods?
Molting in snakes involves shedding their outer layer of skin in one piece, while molting in arthropods involves shedding their exoskeleton in multiple stages. Snakes shed their skin to accommodate growth and remove parasites, while arthropods molt to grow and repair damage to their exoskeleton. Additionally, molting in snakes is generally less frequent compared to arthropods.
