While I expected my A.velutina to molt today, I got a surprise from the P.muticus, it jumped from 1.25 to close to 2 inches. For those of you not in the know, a few mm's is the "norm" for these things and I am just so excited to share.

Just had a quick look at my slings and have found my 1" A. genic on his back freshly molted and my 1.25" L. p's carapace has just popped. I'll be on edge for an hour or so now.

I did I did!! My B. albiceps sling molted, her first with me and my very second molt! I'm so proud of my bby <333

...also lucky as all get-out. I have a hip injury and can barely walk, but Sundays are feeding days, so I gave everyone their meal a couple hours ago. Emma got a cricket, as usual; I've been thinking her abdomen looked big but I am impossible at telling about premolts, so I figured I'd give her a small one and check in frequently. I just did a check and there she was! Lying on her back, stretching her legs, molt up against the side of the deli cup. The cricket was on its back in her water dish 90% dead. I veeeery carefully fished it out, steering clear of her, and all looks good!

I'm such a proud spider mama :') Of course I know I had nothing to do with it, but my baby molted all on her own (obvs) adfhakjsdhfjh

(the name Emma and the use of female pronouns are, of course, random until she's big enough to be sexed)

My GBB gave me a surprise molt last night. I hope to see some adult colors! Very leggy, still hoping for a girl.

One of my two tiny S. calceatum slings molted overnight! Now the pressure is on for the other one. :)
