The larger of my two Avicularia versicolor slings moulted last night! It was the first of any of my spiders' moults I was able to watch nearly in its' entirety, and I took a couple video clips with my iPhone. There's a couple really nice shots in the first clip where you can see the brand new white fangs. In the second clip, the spider flips back over and starts doing 'spider yoga'; there's a nice view of the new setae too!
Overall, the sling grew from ~1.25" pre-moult to ~1.75"/2" post-moult (DLS).
