Of course she moults the weekend after I post this... lol.

What kind of steroids do you have your H. chilensis on? :wideyed: Whatever it is, I want/need that!

He must’ve been sneaking out and finding steroids without my permission - you know how they like to explore. My second H. chilensis is still a bit smaller and refuses to molt again, if that’s any consolation.

Eight moults in 14 months? I was going to say... but the steroids totally makes sense. I'll have to leave some near my Ts and look the other way.

Mine has moulted 6 times since September 2017.


Lasiodora parahybana from Sep. 7, 2017:

Forgive the blurry photo, the T was tiny.

Current instar:

This is mine. It moulted twice until now and grew 1/2", if at all. It's in premoult though (I hope ), hasn't eaten in a month.

November 2017 (about 3/4 inch)


February 2019 (about 1 1/4 inch)


There you have it: 2 moults in 15 months and a growth rate not even a glacier could compete with.

Like yours, my other H. chilensis has molted 6 times since late September (I forgot that’s when I got them). Further proof that the one in the photos is on something. I would’ve shared photos of the smaller one, but s/he’s embarrassingly rotund and in need of a molt.

It feels really good seeing tarantulas growing in sizes. Very satisfying indeed.

So you can always start keeping it from a sling stage to cherish the moments.
