Not today, but at some point in the last week (I guess) my little A. merianae moulted. Just right now when I checked up on my Ts she decided to come out of her thick webbing! She's almost 2" now.
Saturday I had a nightmare that all of my Ts molted at once, even my mature male... Sunday I came home to Flo (A genic) freshly molted. Monday all of my Ts refused food. Tuesday Marko (A avic) molted. Now just playing the waiting game for the rest...
Sold to me as a girl, but it is always nice to be sure. She's been in premolt since I got her. Can't wait for to see that geniculata appetite once she's ready to eat again.
I checked my avic but he's still a boy... They have the same leg spans but look at the different sized carapaces. A genic left A avic right.
My Versicolor just molted I think during the last night
I got also my Gbb in premolt and my Brachypelma Hamorii.. lucky day I guess after 10 minutes I found my Juvenile female Brachypelma upside down...
Went to work , back after 6 hours and she also molted....
My vietnam blue molted last night, only bought it 2 days ago so it was quite a surprise. It's laid on top of the molt in a web it made during the night so I don't want to disturb it to get to the molt and couldn't really take a good picture but I did my best.
My Saturday molting nightmare must have been prophetic! Here's an update...
Sunday Acanthoscurria geniculata female juvenile molted.
Tuesday Avicularia avicularia morphotype 6 male juvenile molted.
Thursday Chromatopelma cyaneopubesens unsexed sling molted.
Just entering premolt...
B vagans sling
P cambridgei sling
C versicolor sling
A seemanii sub-adult
My paired G porteri MF also refused food for the first time in forever. I kind of hope it isn't premolt, since I'm not sure if my male will be up for another pairing (or even be alive by the time she gets to molting, he's already at least 2.5 years mature...) Time will tell!
So including my MM, 9/9 of my Ts are not eating. Next feeding day will be a breeze!
My roommate says my "collection" of spider heads is kind of creepy...
My C. darlingi is about half way through its molt as we speak. This guy/gal took me by surprise because it just ate a week ago and its last molt was only 38 days ago. This sling grows like a weed!
I appreciate the pics are rubbish and they're not of a moult but this is still great for me to see. Finally my T.blondi's abdomen has started to darken.
