Who molted today?

[nicodimus22]

P. sazimai #1 just molted this morning. Went from 1 inch to 1 and 1/4 inches. The molt was torn in the area I needed to look at to sex it, so no idea of the gender yet.

Recently, I have found molts from my Psalmopoeus irminia, Nhandu tripepii, and Pterinopelma sazimai sling.

Not long after Finding my very small prolly 1/3 an inch Red Rump's molt it molted again after a single feeding.Still small but gaining very nice coloring despite that.
Other than that my two Lasiodora Parahybanas appear to be competing with eachother on molting and size. Molting not far from one another recently.
and i found a molt just a few days ago from my Chilobrachys fimbriatus 1 inch sling,now a bit bigger. First molt since i got this very nice looking sling.

My E. rufescens molted today and it was a disaster Being an ephebopus she had dug out tunnels down at the bottom of her deli cup and one of them had collapsed around her while she was molting. Several limbs were stuck and she ended up loosing three legs and a palp Luckily her fangs are intact so she can eat and regenerate. Still a heartbreak though.

My GBB molted earlier, but with a complication. Nothing life-threatening, he still has his fangs, but he lost a leg. Which i found part of stuck in the exuviae.

Freshly molted, but SOMEthing went weird and he lost a leg. More pictures with details to be added.

Freshly molted, had yet to remove exuviae or even notice missing leg until i went back to estimate size (my best guess is now almost 2 inches). This is only the second time he's molted in my care and I'm curious as to whether or not this could be something caused by excess humidity. There was an incident that led to all of his water being spilled onto the substrate.

If you look at the first left leg, you can see the leg stuck in it. I was able to remove what...

Exuviae with a piece of leg stuck in first left leg. I removed what was left in it relatively easily. So why couldnt he?

I was able to pull the bit of leg from the exuviae. I did so to see how much was in there. His...

the piece i pulled out, including "toe" which is much shorter than the rest of his legs now are. Which makes me wonder, did the rest come out and break off because the air was too humid and it caused a "wet" molt and he self amputated the rest? Or was the growth of that leg simply stunted somehow and he knew it would be useless so he just ditched it? I dont really expect answers, im not worried about him. If someone has any further musings on my theories, i would be very interested in hearing them, though.

One of my 2 Psalmopoeus irminia molted. They both still live in their small tube, but it kicked the molt out ^^. I am curious how long it takes that they move out of this tubes . The second one I can't see, I hope it is well ...

I think it is usually the other way around, that a molt can have complications if the air is not humid enough.

Yes, but this is a relatively arid species, so wouldnt it be possible that humidity it isnt designed to be around might cause complication?

This week I've had 3 of my H. laticeps molt, 1 x C. dyscolus sp. blue., 2 x C. minax. all molted well, no missing limbs thank goodness. it's that time of year when their metabolism is higher than usual....all eating well, never refusing a meal for over 2 weeks. Still waiting on my B. albopilosum slings molting, I got these a couple of weeks before the others.

 

[ShyDragoness]

Had my first ever shed today! Feeling proud

Female P. irminia sling/juvie molted sometime today. My mystery sling/suspect lasiodora is super black and shiny too. I'd say it'll molt tomorrow sometime.

My OBT has molted! I haven't found the molt, but it was out and about yesterday looking bigger and shiny and very orange, and obviously trying to tell me it wants food. Very skittish, but no threat posture - I'm disappointed .

Thrixopelma cyaneolum #16 and 17 (I'm keeping the old numbers as to not confuse my records, but I only have 6 slings left).

When it's ready, it will show you that its fangs are black with a nice threat pose.
