My A. Metallica molted this morning!
Luckily, I woke up early, so I witnessed the end of the process!
She (he?) is now about 6cm across the legs...

Also, my B. smithi is in premolt, but that should take anther month or two...

In the past week or so, my first 2 T's molted:

July 1st- A. hentzi

Sometime in the last 1-2 weeks- OBT... She's been holed up for awhile, I would not have even known but she was nice enough to leave me a crunchy leg next to a bolus. On closer inspection, I see her exuvia strung up in her burrow like christmas lights.

My 3rd T, an Avic should be next... He refused his dinner. Too bad I won't be around for a couple of weeks to know when he does the deed.

My G. Pulchra (snooky) Finally Molted

After being in her little hide for over three months my 4.5" G. Pulchra molted. I have her hide set up so I can see her if I move the tank away from the wall. I look at her every few weeks to make sure her abdomen is still full and she is not in a death curl. After a few weeks I moved her tank today and "Booyaa" there was her molt aside a very dark beautiful "T". Make a Papa happy to see his little T grow up. Just thought I would share.

Posted this in another thread before I realized this was here!
Both of my A. Genics molted yesterday..I bought them both about a month ago and they were about 3/4 of an inch.. Fed them every day and sometimes every other day and they gave me their first molt yesterday just hours apart!! Both had very successful molts, and Mygala came out first and went straight for the water dish! Venom, on the other hand barricaded itself in the hide and has yet to come out.. I can see through the little gap that was left and I can see that the molt was successful and venom is also doing just fine..

Came home from two days away to find a freshly molted B. boehmei. Must be a whopping 1.75" now. If it really stretches, might be 2". {D

My holothele sp. "tachira" molted yesterday. Caught me by surprise; I wasn't expecting another molt so quickly. "She" is now about .75" and starting to show some pretty copper coloring on the carapace. :}

Chilean Rose Hair

Today my Rose Hair Mystique molted for her first time since I've had her. I went in to take care of the feeder animals and check up on my T's when i noticed she had molted which i thought interesting because she had not given me any signs she was getting ready for a molt, no abdomen patch and no fasting. But, she molted very successfully and is doing very well and of course looks gorgeous.

My G. pulchripes finished up molting just past midnight last night. I snapped the pics today.
