Literally sat on the floor in the animal room watching her shed. It NEVER gets old.
Edit.
Multi tasking. Noticed my Poecilotheria subfusca lowland was out and in a good position. Tape measure. I reckon with her legs flat she'd be 18cm. The little lass has grown some.
Discovered that G. pulchripes had moulted last night or this morning. Her 8th since arriving as a s'ling three years ago this month. Measures somewhere between 3.7 and 3.9 inches. For viewers who may be interested in the the growth rate, below is the spider taken just two days shy of three years ago. Probably was 1/2 inch, but not any more than 3/4.
I found an exuvia from my Idiothele mira today. It was tiny and in pieces and mixed in with the loose substrate used to create the 'dirt carpet with trap doors' that it has constructed. It may be from two moults ago, I'm not sure. But I found it today so I'm counting it.
