Molt crazyness

[wierdscaryguy86]

So I have 3 Acanthoscurria geniculata, all of them came from same dealer. I got all three at the same time and when they first molted in my care they all molted the same day. When I got them less than 6 months ago, they were .25 inch, now I suspect they are roughly an inch maybe more. Yesterday "baby" molted, woke up today and "otis" molted. This is the 2nd go around since Ive had them and everytime all 3 molt one after the other. Its crazy to me bc with nearly 35 spiders I ALWAYS have at least 1 that is freshly molted. Just thought Id share, the molts always have freaked me out. I still get that rush of dread when I see them on thier back haha

With over 600, someone is molting somewhere...

The third may be a female, and molting a little slower. Or not eating as much, or just that spider's way of doing. I watched my first molts for hours... now I have a couple of index cards with "SHHHH...I"m Molting" written on it, which gets taped carefully to their house. Reminds me not to pick up in the feeding rotation.

I don't have anything to contribute except that your House of 1000 Corpses naming theme is wonderful...
