My unsexed C. fimbriatus molted today :astonished: god! I just love the patterning and coloration on their abdomen! Really my favorite T so far. I hope It turns out to be a female but I'll always cherish this lad/lass.

Just wait until you need to rehouse and you'll spend more time looking at its colors than actually moving it.

I'm sure when I rehouse it (which won't be for a while. It should be fine until its next molt) I will take the opportunity to marvel and take a few pictures.

My 3/4 inch C. paviei molted sometime in the last month. I was getting a bit worried, such a small sling not visible in the mouth of the burrow or in the tunnel along the side of the enclosure and not eating for over a month. Evidently it likes to take it's time, yesterday it had shoved it's molt clear into the middle of the enclosure and it had a meal. All I can see are legs, but now they are a different color.

Dolichothele diamantinensis just finished. I also was able to confirm what I had suspected. Female!

N. Chromatus #2 molted and I think I'm starting to see the beginning of spermatheca but I'll wait a few more molts to determine if its female.

My A. avicularia molted last monday. Total surprise. The only sign of premolt she'd shown was super extensive webbing over the last month, starting not very long after her last molt. Not really sure how big she is now, but id guess around 4.5"/5". She is my only confirmed female out of nine spiders currently in my care.

My C. huahini surprised me with a moult which was odd seeing as she moulted just under 3 months ago and her last moult cycle was a little over 5 months o_O

I was in the toilet washing my paws, last night, when my wife shouted to me that one of my p.lugardi slings had died. She brought its enclosure to me and I laughed and told her she was looking at its molt. So my p.lugardi sling has molten.

Obviously bloody awful pics but I'm not disturbing her anymore than this. Juvenile female Pamphobeteus antinous.
