My genic kid did - yesterday actually - and I saw it happening, and now you can really start to see the markings on the legs.

My B.Albo (first tarantula) molted in my care for the first time today! So awesome. Feel kinda proud of my little spidey. <3

My B. smithi snuck one in on me last night, its second since I received it. I knew it was in pre-moult, but I wasn't really looking for it to happen just yet. I had decided to change out its water lid as it seemed to be evaporating(or maybe leaking ) a bit quickly. I noticed that the leg bands were more pronounced and that it's abdomen was different, but it really didn't register as I was a little preoccupied with getting the spider to move out of the way. Which I never would have done if I had realized it had moulted. Only after I put the lid on and was placing the container back in place did I notice that there was an exuvium in there with the spider, on the opposite side of the container. It had already been on the move, so I'm confident that the short disturbance I gave it caused no harm, but still...DOH!

Here is the difference in exuvium sizes, with two months and twenty-four days between the two moults.

Thanks. Notice the darkening, it's in pre-moult. I'm hoping for a noticeable size increase. At least a quarter. I'm not holding my breath though, they are notoriously slow-growers.

N. chromatus molted...was just over an inch....molted only 26 days and 3 meals from its last molt.

My largest A. ezendami molted as well. Was maybe 2.5", maybe a bit larger...I wish I had better viewing of it.....can't wait till both are out for me to see.

My P. rufilata also moulted today. Was waiting for the little bugger to moult since 25.12.2014 when I bought it. It was already in pre-moult. Wonder what took it so long :/

One of my Pamphobeteus sp. "Duran" slings molted sometime during the night! Everything looks good from what I can see so far. And I may have seen a lady-flap inside the exo's abdomen. I'm not putting too much stock in it, it's a small exo, but I'll keep hoping until next molt.
