P striata (4th molt in 12 days!). 2" to 2.5". Finally starting to show those awesome warning markings!

Weird how they lay down like this!! My P. regalis does the same thing aha

I was just watering my T's and I found a molt from my Ceratogyrus meridionalis sling.

(This is why i cover half the enclosure with fake plants, when im dealing with a 3/4" specimen because they can easily go underneith and build up a tiny wall of dirt until it simulates a burrow!) this way in my opinion molting comes faster)

Well, its probably a goner now. I found its limp body this morning in the same position it was in last night, put it in ICU but it was completely unresponsive and I suspect the worst. I'm bummed out right now, molted without a hitch, legs are sprawled out, no signs of a rupture or other physical trauma guess it just couldn't recover. It was such a beautiful tarantula too...

lets see, the M. cabocla did without telling me, and so did the C. fasciatum. My B. vagans did too.

My L. parahybana molted today... or yesterday! I'd been frustrated as s/he has been refusing food for a good two months. Finally, and of course when I'm not looking, s/he molted. Once again the molt was all torn up so no sexing for now... :fury:

Not sure when it was, either yesterday or the day before so I'm a bit late but

My "oldest" tarantula (old as in having it the longest), a suspect male OBT sling that i've been raising since it was a teensy orangy brown lil spud

is now a confirmed female :) So excited and happy

P. cancerides molted yesterday! from a 1,5"... I sexed the molt and i have got a female! i even yelled "and we've got a female" to everyone in my house yet of course no one cared! I placed the molt in a bowl of water without the soap, then i used a chop stick and pushed the molt underwater then after releasing the Spermathecae or whatever spread out perfectly then "The Flap" was clearly visible!

I wasn't able to get a good picture but my B. vagans molted. He was only noticeably in premolt for about 10 days. I figured I had at least another week, but when I went in to check on him I noticed he was all white lol and it took me a second to realize that he molted.

My little L. violaceopes and E. olivacea kids molted today. The Lampro is a set female; 95% sure the Encyocratella es un hombre
