I have three Nhandu tripepii slings that I got as 1cm specimens in September. One just moulted last night/this morning, another moulted yesterday, and the third moulted a few days ago. This is the second moult the triplets have gone through since I acquired them, and now they're each about 3cm in size! (a bit bigger than 1" for the non-metric bunch) The biggest change this time is that not only is there some slight striping on their legs, but they're also a lot more fuzzy too!

My female GBB moulted sometime early this morning. She'd been in pre-moult for a while and I was eagerly awaiting a moult, but like a ninja she waited until I was asleep! Silly girl. Her adult colours are starting to come in though, which I am super excited about. Most notably, there's less tiger-striping on her abdomen, and her legs are more of a uniform blueish tone, whereas they previously had more segregated sections of orange/tan and black/navy. Still a gold carapace though, from what I can see! She's still kinda scrunched up right now, so I haven't gotten a post moult measurement yet, but if I had to guess, I'd say she went from 4cm to about 6-7cm (1.5" to ~2.25/2.5"). I know I fed her a LOT but I'm still pretty amazed at how much they can grow from one moult to another! (I'm waiting for my little 1/4" LP slings to blow this out of the water!) Anyway, here's a shot of my beautiful girl post-moult, waiting for her colours to fully darken and her new skin to toughen up:

Our smallest C. cyaneopubescens molted in the night :) i'm so proud and overjoyed. First moult under our own roof! She is sitting on top of it, apparently eating it. Hope she walks away at some point so i can still recover the moult.

Yesterday my Stromatopelma Calceatum molted. Still having trouble sexing it, but gained like 3/4". Definitely happy with that.

Found my L. Parahybana on her back this morning. Bit nervous for her.. just a quick question, how long can it take to molt? She is a good sized adult and i think she's hasent flipped over till the very wee hours of the morning. She is lying perfectly still now so that leads le to think she has only just begun. Is it now a matter of hours or i could i expect her to take much longer? Just hope it all goes well. She know what she's doing i guess but still i'm just a tad bit anxious.. :)

"Paco" my G. pulchripes molted early this morning. Took him about 5 hours total. I woke up and looked in on him and he said "TA DA !"

Our L. parahybana did her molt succesfully. Took her about 5 hours, not too bad for such a big girl. Was worried about her yesterday evening cause she sat in this odd slumped position. Left her in peace. This morning she is sitting somewhere else in a normal upright position so all is well! Two succesfull molts in two days, so proud :) wish they would both climb off there moults though, i want them!

I've had quite a busy week molt wise. First my P. irminia molted, grew a ton! Then my A. geniculata molted, followed by both of my B. vagans shortly there after. One of my itty bitty B. albopilosum slings molted, and my A. avicularia molted. He is absolutely stunning but he didn't grow very much.

My minatrix finally molted. I've been waiting for a month! Has some slightly new colors too. I'd get a pic but it's all in its tube web. Maybe when I rehouse it.
