Rain and high humidity means lots of molting from my collection. G. pulchra,A. genic, A. hentzi slings and G. porteri 3rd instars. Too many to count. One bad molt by one of my G. porteri females.
Just woke up this morning and saw my H. Lividum just molted!
She lost one leg after a wet molt and I'm glad she finally molted. Hopefully she has at least a stub going
E. campestratus. Actually, it moulted below ground probably a week ago, but I don't really count it as a successful moult until I see the living finished product, and it emerged today. I wish I could get the moult. I may do a probe with the forceps
Psalmopoeus cambridgei 2.5+" flipped and started molting last night; but figured I had lost him since he appeared stuck this AM - like things weren't progressing well at all. Took him over 20 hrs. (sigh) I lightly dampened substrate last night but it didn't reach to his tunnel (which appears bone dry).
Yay! This evening I have this strange new huge T next to a much smaller molt down in the burrow (yeah, psalmi made an accidental peep hole in bottom back side and bottom-bottom of acylic enclosure so I can play peeping mom).
Fun week. First my H Lividum molted on Wednesday and about 3 hours ago my Avic Avic finished molting. Both had no issues, but unfortunately my Avic's molt was shredded at the abdomen so I still haven't sexed her/him
One of my S. rufipes matured today (or a few days ago). I know it isn't TECHNICALLY a tarantula but it is Atypidae...an 'atypical tarantula'. So....it kind of is? :laugh: View attachment 135187
P. cambridgei #2 molted a couple days ago, and my B. boehmei is on her back as we speak. Glad that I won't have to stay up all night to watch the progress with this one.
