Within the hour I had my 2nd P. cam finally emerge after 21 days in hiding, freshly molted and looking beautiful, finally getting that P. cam green I have been waiting for...might be 2" or better now.

An hour or so ago I found my N chromatus had just flipped, pinned with its hide now on the bottom of the carapace. I gently moved the hide, giving the room it needed...it popped and was done in about an hour...nice and quick! Can't wait to see it spread out and darken, should have near adult colors...its still white at the moment.

Been away from home for > a week. Surprised only my H. mac sling appears to have molted during that time.

Little bitty P. subfusca molted :) I was worried about it when rehousing (prior to the molt) as its rear legs seemed to be sort of lame, but it seems to be better now, yay!

Chewie, my 4.5" B. albo, molted over the weekend. she was pretty bald before (arrived that way in the post) but now she's gotten a full abdomen of hair and is looking much nicer. she was kind enough to drag her exuvium to the mouth of her burrow too so i could extract it with ease (she could give my GBB a few tips, he's still sitting on top of his from last week). hopefully when she's fully recovered she'll come up on out of her burrow herself again.

My B. vagans sling molted. Did not expect it at all. Went to see it earlier and noticed it in an odd position. Just went to see again before bed and molt is just finishing up.

Huzzah!

when it rains it pours. less than a week after my GBB and B. albo molted, my A. purpurea molted yesterday. and i have 2 more T's that seem to be in premolt right now. that's 5 of 6 that are either in pre-molt or post-molt at this time.

T.gigas decided to pop a molt without any premolt signs and here I was complaining that I don't have any good molts from it. I'm planning on snatching this one as soon as it's safe for the spider.

LOL Yeah, I have quite a bunch but not as many as some egg sacs have which I'm happy about since this is my first experience. A little overwhelming at first but it's going well so far thanks to a member of the forum who I got the female,egg sac and advice from plus reading all the good info on the forum. It's keeping me busy..lol. :)
