Well I didn't have much going on with my T's for a while now and all of a sudden this week became crazy! I don't know if the change of temperature up here in canada has something to do with it, but so far i've had 5 T's successfully molt this week:

P.regalis followed by,
A.versicolor,
A.avicularia,
A.avicularia and
my four legged P.murinus just freshly pulled out of it's exuvium.

I'm really anxious to get pictures of the regenerated legs. So far legs III and IV seem good but I can't seem to get a good view on legs I and II. Guess i'll take out the camera and get to some picture taking {D

And as if it's not enough, my C.cyaneopubescens is in a heavy premolt. I just noticed the black bald spot tonight.. Out of 25 T's, that's some nice stats!:D

Well surprise to me, I just found a H.maculata resting on it's back from yet another successful molt! The count is up to 6 and the GBB is on it's way...

Rosea 2cm -monday
Chaco 2cm -tueday
Albo 1cm -monday
Albo 1.5cm -friday
Smithi 3 inches -saturday

well, iv been expecting the slings to molt since it had stopped eating last week. but for the smithi, i have expected it 2 weeks ago since its "brother/sister" smithi had already molted already. :? i guess some Ts really took time to molt eventhough their from the same eggsack. congrats for both of us for a successful molt. haha {D

out of my 9 Ts, 5 molted... talk about stats... haha

That's 1 of 1

It was my a. metallica, and it grew from a bit more than 4cm to like 5cm.

I guess I consider this week crazy due to the fact that during the harsh winter we had here, practically none of my spiders molted...

Btw, I mentioned in my pic thread that he was a male and I was hoping he would grow back the legs before maturity. Well I don't know what I missed but SHE is now confirmed 100%. I could have sworn there was nothing in her previous exuvium... Well that's good news. Guess all the legs will be able to molt back fine!

Wierd thing though is that only 2 out of 4 legs grew back..... It seems to have devellopped a sort of stumpy leg in the place of leg II and just no forst leg whatsoever. I checked the exuvium and no new legs got stuck anywhere. Guess 4 legs at a time is just too much to regenerate at once...

Post molt, she hasn't grown a centimeter:
