molt?

I'd say that we have insufficient info. Is your Brachy disproportionately fat when you compare the abdomen to the legs? Do you see a patch of skin where the bristles are missing and is it dark instead of flush pink?

Is the web that your other ts are spinning a flat, dense mat?
Do they meet the other tests above?

If the answers are all 'yes', I'd say that you have some tarantulas about to molt.
