My G pulchripes molted last night! When we got home, I checked on it (as it has been in premolt for a while). "Creepy" had just freed it's legs and was doing the leg dance. The abdomen was still resting on the molt, so I couldn't remove it until the flip. Pretty sure "Creepy" is a boy. I am in the process of giving him a 10 gal and move one of the slings into the KK that "Creepy" currently resides. I don't have a measurement, but let me see if I can post a pre-molt pic.....
. Just lovin my T's!
One of my Homoeomma sp. "blue" molted last night. Obviously the male (now confirmed!) - went from ~3.5" to 4.5" - time between molts is very long, but when they molt they gain considerably in size! Pictures in my thread in a few
my G. iheringi molted sometime last night, i dont want to bother him/her, but he/she did gain some size, was 1 1/2 inches and looks to be well over 2 now.
some people may not think so, but this a very pretty species.
update some pics in the next week or so.
I had a dream in which I saw that my B.smithi (5cm) just recently moulted.
My A.versi (2,5 cm) is finishing its moult right now.

(s)he seems to be alright now, freed itself completely, grooming now beside the exuvium. I was kinda worried, to be honest, the behaviour (s)he displayed in the past week or two was pointing to a premoult but I wasn't sure if (s)he had packed enough junk in the trunk..
Was also worried because (s)he was moulting near the edge of the web hammock (at the very top of the enclosure) so I thought it might fall down, which would guarantee heavy injury/death, having a fresh new, not yet hardened exoskeleton
