My B. emilia finished moulting about an hour ago. She's still all translucent and stuff so I can't quite tell, but I think she might be getting a bit of adult colour now.

I keep thinking my little vagans is turning darker, but that always turns out to be a trick of the light!

My big P. regalis lady molted today! She's gorgeous, probably close to 6.5" or so now.

My big H. schmidti came out last night looking hyuuge and sexy! I hadn't realized she had been in premolt, let alone had molted. I imagine it was last week or maybe 2 weeks ago, tough to tell. She's hungry though :D

I found my Brachypelma emilia had molted today and snapped a few shots. I also noticed my smithi is in premolt so I'm sure I'll have some pics of it in post molt soon, as well.

One of my LP slings molted about an hour ago. It's roughly 3/4 inch now.

Can I ask questions here? I hope so.

I'm curious. When a sling molts, is it just the same as an adult? Onto it's back, molt, back onto its front?

I came home last night to my P. Miranda hanging upside down in a hammock wiggling out of a molt. She promplty chomped down the exuvium. I can't wait to see her when she comes out of her hide and spreads out! she was about 3 1/2 to 4 inches before, but she's got purple feet now, that much i can see {D

Both GBB and OBT molted today. Their adult colors are really starting to kick in!
One of the H. lividum slings cast out its exuvium today, too. I don't know when exactly it molted, though.

Yaay!
My G. Pulchra had his first molt in my care today! (I'm assuming he, anyway).
Grown from a 3/4" to something a bit bigger (I think). He's hanging out at the top of his container; I should have known he'd be molting soon; he was burrowing a little, and didn't have a cricket last week.
Oooh, his fangs are red, his opis. is all black and his legs are white - this is so cool!

I took out the molt, and he crawled up to the top of the container - it didn't look like he was still in the midst of a molt; he was still near the molt itself, but he looked entirely out of it; should I have waited until he had distanced himself?
:( Ooh, I hope this goes ok, I hope I didn't screw up.

His molt:
