My C. darlingi that I picked up at the Havre de Grace reptile expo on Saturday molted yesterday. Not sure the size as he/she is down in the burrow hiding from my prying eyes.
When I went to work this morning, my B.smithi juvie girl was on her back, finally. She's back on all eight, or so I hope, because she's in her hide, hiding behind the exuvium
Within the past two weeks, I've already notified about the P. Cambridgei female reaching a little over three inches. Proceeding that follows my P. Irminia baby reaching an inch in size, my P. Murinus finally reaching two inches and visibly female. Finally, not even five minutes ago, I picked up my Brachypelma Sabulosum's enclosure to shine a light inside the chasm she hollowed out to find her on her back and JUST flipping over from a fresh molt. She was almost two inches at the time she molted near the end of April, so I'm curious to view how much she's actually grown at this point.
Edite: Strike that, make it four molts. P. Pederseni just reached a little over one inch.
Been waiting about a week now since my LP stopped eating and I just checked my its and saw way too many legs, he must have molted while I was at work. It was about an inch, before, now it looks like maybe an inch and a half and I can see its hair much more clearly then I could before.
Got home from work and saw my B albo flicking hairs and walking in circles. I was so excited to see my first molt. About 2 hrs later she was on its side and not moveing. Within the hour I could see it coming out the top legs and all! took about an hour and it ended up on its back and was doing well much larger than before (was about 1.5 in) id say easly 2in maybe. Now it has flipped over and is covering its eyes. All looking good and cant wait to see how big it is and to see what sex it could be. Took all together about 3 hrs from flicking hairs to turning over.
My N. tripepii sling molted while I was at work today. Came home to see a white spider, noticeably bigger.
Then the exuvia moved on its own...
Seems the little fella got a leg stuck in the process. It must have just happened because the cast off leg was still twitching pretty energetically. You can see it in the pic sticking out from underneath the old exoskeleton.
At least it managed to fix the situation on its own. *sigh of relief*
