^^Those are absolutely stunning post-molt! Nice pic Levi;)^^

I was waiting upon this molt. Crassicrus lamanai MF just molted last night. I was concerned because this was her forst molt since I re-housed her. The burrow she dug is extremely tight and I was hoping she wouldn't get stuck...

Everything went flawless:) Hope I'll get some good pics tonight.

Too bad MM's of this kind are pretty much impossible to come across...

6" male Theraphosa stirmi today. Should be a bit larger now as the molt measured out at 6 inches. He looks good. Earlier I added a little bit of water to pump up the humidity and looked at him an hour ago and there he was in all his glory. Perfect molt.

My A. Metallica has been holed up for awhile but I didn't think she was going to molt. I check on her every night after work and I finally saw her out last night and thought she must be hungry since her abdomen was small from being holed up for so long. Bought some crickets after work today to feed her and I noticed the change in size, so I looked in the hide and there was her old exo.

I haven't taken her exo out yet because I don't know how I should go about it. The exo is in the hide that she webbed up pretty well. I tried taking it out using long tweezers but the leg I grabbed on just broke off when I tried to pull it off the webbing. How do you guys take out your T's old exoskeleton?

It's called the exuvium. Just keep tugging at it, it literally won't bite ;P

Thank you for the correction. I did try to tug on it but it just breaks into pieces. It won't stay in one piece. Should I just destroy the webbing to take it out?

Well, I was away for a couple of weeks. While away my Avic sp., H. incei and A. seemani molted. I wonder if the 90+ temps helped... :p

Have a fresh H mac molt, and one of my B vagans is still on his back, not flipped yet. Can't tell gender yet on the H mac.. hoping female. Going to try re-photoing the molt in a bit. I've found the pix are actually better after they dry a bit.

Add to that two of my juvie rose hairs decided to molt also. I'd had them since fall of last year, no molt, no molt, no molt.... they both molted in May. Now suddenly they have molted again. Significant growth on one, not the other.

Atria, my tiny M. cobalca (chicken spider. sp?) also presented me with a tiny 4th-instar molt.

My P. formosa just molted, and I'm about 90% sure it's female!!! The black center stripe on its abdomen is starting to disappear :D
