Well, while this site was down I had two molts. My B. vagans molted in the very early hours of friday morning (3am) and i got to watch the whole thing, AND got pics. 
(though they're kind of sloppy, cause of the time). And yesterday my A. sp. "flagstaff orange" sling, "Spazz", molted.
The B. vagans molt measured 3.5" Natural stance, I have not measured her yet, but I'd put her at 4" now. And, I was able to sex her by molt and she's 100% female I could not be happier. I've named her "Lola".
The A. sp. "flagstagg orange" I hadn't been expecting, I knew s/he was getting dark, but i really hadn't though s/he was all that dark yet, but when I was feeding everyone yesterday I saw him chillin' next to the molt. I was pretty surprised at how much s/he grew, I suspected to not notice a different since people seem to claim their Aphonopelmas shrink rather than grow with their molts.
I'll be getting pictures up shortly, my laptop is still out of commission so I'm waiting to use my dads which has an SD card reader. (my moms laptop does not)
I also rehoused my B. smithi "Marik" and transferring him, i pinch grabbed him, I looked on his ventral side and I'm like 95% sure he's male. I'd always assumed female, because I bought it from someone who bought it as female, they sold it to me unsexed though since it hadn't molted in their care to confirm. It saddens me, but I'll find him a date when he matures.
