They're doing great! Two are in heavy pre-molt. At least one will probably molt before the weekend is over.
If you weren't hooked before, you are now, since witnessing a molt! :) How big is Flick now?

Yeah, they'll go through a couple days of post-molt 'calisthenics' till they get themselves situated in their new skin. It freaked me out when I came in not long ago to my recently molted G. rosea doing a serious pokie imitation. :eek: :laugh:

@Caseyface Just received my little sling today, much smaller than advertised but not complaining really as I've been after one for a while and didn't pay much. I'm still Happy :happy:.

Can I ask where you got it? New to (or rather, getting re-acquainted with) the hobby, B boehmei is in my top 3 but I haven't found any slings for sale. Thanks :)

Hi
I got it from "The Spider Shop" online. I have a juvenile female as well....beautiful.
Good price and excellent customer service.
Met them recently at the "Western Invertebrate Exhibition" near Bristol. Highly recommended.
Regards
Jacko.

Just did a time lapse of my brachypelma boehmei moulting. This my first time watching the full process of a moult, was truly amazing. I would say it took her 9 hours too fully finish the moult.
