My A. Brocklehursti molted today! Or I should say started molting today, she's in the process. I just got her a week or so ago too! She was already balding on her opisthosoma and it had totally darkened so I have eagerly been waiting for this. Saw her laying down her silk earlier today and she's got herself cradled in this perfect little mat. Will update when she's done about how much she's grown!

It's been an interesting couple of weeks for molts. Every one of my Ts has gotten their black premolt spot and molted or surprised me with a molt one at a time with less than a 24 hour window in between them. The last one I expect to molt any day now. Kind of remarkable for a collection of just 6 to be so coordinated.

Second of my four tarantulas to molt this week! At some point today/tonight, my B. Albopilosum Oscar shed his former self away! He's now quite crowded in his hole though, hoping he digs out soon

Male or female?.. the picture quality is not too sharp. Sorry.

Two of my slings molted this week: my B. boehmei and B. albopilosum. A third sling- the Nhandu tripepii is showing some premolt darkening, so by Sunday the final count might be three.

The Poecilotheria striata that I bought as a sexed female a few months ago molted today and lo and behold came out of its old skin as a mature male.

My S. calceatum molted today. i.e. new warp drive installed. Sorry, just saw the latest Star Trek movie.

Our H lividum molted over night. We saw it on it's side, so we knew it was coming. I was sort of hoping it would have waited until the boys were up to watch. : (

Funny you should mention Star Trek. Our H lividum was named "Shran" because it is big, blue and has a bad temper (by species definition only, have not observed a bad attitude......yet).

"Saranyu", Tapinauchineus violaceus, ~4.25" female molted (pics in my picthread - she's a real beauty, absolutely a looker!) - size before molt ~3.5" so I'm guessing she's pretty much fully grown....adult for sure, she had a dud-sack -before- she molted. Ate it, then molted right away ;-)
