I can barely see through due to heavy webbing, but I believe she is (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) molting at the moment.

I was referred here by @Mjb30 and I am so happy to be on the journey with you! Your entire story so far is basically a dream for me; Tarantula GOALS. I love your attention to detail and the story you're telling alongside them.

Keep weaving this web; I'll be following along for the ride! :D

What an honor! I only began my tarantula keeping hobby a few months ago, that being said, my day to day is followed by still yet many trials and errors, but you will surely enjoy the ride if you choose to tag along.

I'm already subscribed and waiting patiently for more to the story! I am the same, but I have yet to become a keeper - this will soon change, and your posts are inspiring me! I'd like to basically do the same thing for my little Baby T's when I get them, a sort of Biography/Diary for them.

Hidy(Brachypelma hamorii) is my first tarantula I took in my care, and is still the smallest out of all. Hidy’s last molt took place on Christmas day of last year, and today, about a month later, another molt will take place it seems.

Hidy’s body is definitely ready as far as I can tell, and for another molting sign, Hidy is currently making webbing bed underneath him or her. So it’s just a matter if time. This will be the second molt under my care. I am so excited!

• And here we go!

That's so funny. The last two molts I've had were on the same days as yours. My N. chromatus molted on Thursday, and one of my GBBs molted today, lol!

This video's awesome! The enclosure decor and the P. Metallica are both really beautiful!

The decor was done by previous owner. I bought as it is, but yeah I agree with you. Both are beautiful!

Lol! That video reminds me of the scene in My Cousin Vinny where his girlfriend is talking about hunting deer.
