LOL Yeah, I have quite a bunch but not as many as some egg sacs have which I'm happy about since this is my first experience. A little overwhelming at first but it's going well so far thanks to a member of the forum who I got the female,egg sac and advice from plus reading all the good info on the forum. It's keeping me busy..lol. :)
Congratulations 260 spiderlings isn't to bad makes them more manageable. I ended up with 560 spiderlings out of one sac. Had to seperate them out into lots of 50 to make them more manageable. Just wish the spiders grew faster.

Thanks! Next time I may have to sort as you did yours to make caring for easier and less time consuming. I have a total of 373 which if I had 500 to 800 I don't know what I would do..lol. Think I am going to hold off until next Spring to pair my other females.

"MB" My A. avic sling molted. Week+ later than it's sibling but bigger. Was in the wee hours of the morning.

No upcoming molts spotted easily at this time.

P.scrofa 3 inch confirmed female molted 2 days ago, which is weird because she only molted like 3 months ago, but hey i'm not complaining.

p.regalis female molted. Went from 4.5 to 5.25-5.5. Amazing seeing she was just a half inch only 10 months ago.

My P. regalis threw its old exo out this morning. I have a bunch of t's hunkered down in pre-molt with big, dark, shiny abs. One of these days I'm going to have a big post!

Another surprise molt. A. versicolor "Speedracer" sling molted. Put on some nice size too. S/he ate on Friday so not expected.

Nice. Mine usually eats the day he molts. Is the molt big enough to sex yet? My Versi has always munched the molt but positive male I would just like a picture of the molt for documentation.

My first T (G. rosea sling) just finished its first moult in my care.
Took about 40 mins and now its sat there flexing.
Feels like a rite of passage is out of the way.

Blue-fang sling molted today. It was even kind enough to toss the old exo out of its burrow.

My A. hentzi female molted early this morning. She is the mom that had the egg sac that I recently got some slings from. She should feel like she has a new lease on life now. No egg sac, someone else taking care of the kids and a new suit to parade around in. A few more days and she'll be doing a happy dance across her enclosure singing "I feel sooooo good!" LOL :)

Pics of her molting will be posted on my picture thread later today.

I have three more adult females in premolt, a G. rosea and two A. hentzi. One G. Pulchra sling too.
