Hey all,
My parahybana molted yesterday night, and I was able to snap some shots of the process. I've had this spider for just over a year now, I got it as a 3/4" spiderling, and it has molted 7 times since. I estimate it is about 7" now, and to my surprise, it's a female! I took the cast skin away quickly, so I could sex it.
Here are the pics:
