My female p regalis has been refusing food the past 2 weeks and has been very fat for even longer.

The male already molted and started getting more adult colors, dark belly with the tan band around it.

But this female is just taking forever and I cant wait shes my favorite tarantula atm and I just cant wait to see her bigger.


I think my P murinus is about to molt as well... isnt eating sealed up in her hide. so hopefully I get to fight a molt from her too =D

You guys don't know what waiting is.

I have been waiting for our female B. albopilosum to molt since the end of September. She's definitely in premolt because she's the fattest thing on 8 legs and she won't eat, and she barely moves. And we've got a MM waiting so it's not like we've got a bunch of time to kill. I'm pretty sure I check on her at least 10 times a day to see if she's molting.

A watched pot never boils, as they say. Lame.

There is only one cure to the ever long premolt wait. More baby T's. The more you have, the more frequent the molting. {D But that could be just me.

September?? That's a cake walk. If you really want to know pre-molt frustration get a G. pulchra:wall:. They take it to a whole new level.:mad:

The temps in the room shes in now stay about 70-72 I'm probably going to get a heater to get them growing a bit faster.
