Chromatus #12 just finished...I was worried, it molted on its side...IME that's the most dangerous position, even more so than right side up....I think every bad molt (hasn't been too many actually) has been from a t molting on its side.

P. Irminia molted successfully and is now confirmed male. So I can attempt breeding my female again if she molts soon enough and this little guy matures. - this was the good news.

The bad news: C. sp. "Hati hati" #3 attempted another molt it appears, wich I didn't expect at all, as I know all three of mine takes forever to molt, even at their size, they are in pre-molt for a long time. This one had no obvious signs that it was about to molt, but I found it on it's back last night, and it has made no progress yet, it's more than 24h already, and it's only aprox 1.5". The substrate is wet and a waterbowl was provided and kept full, but it seems this little guy (actually suspected female :( ) got stuck. I soaked the substrate and placed a water droplet on it's mouth, but it's completely unresponsive. The abdomen is not shrivelled yet, but I'm not getting my hopes up. It doesn't look good. This is quite bummer for me, in two years this is the 1st T I have lost :( I'm really sad

One of the P. irminia slings molted a few days ago and the other followed suit this morning. I expect the other two to do the same shortly.

A. geniculata molted this afternoon.

Both grew nicely from last molt. Really looking forward to my irminia fellahs growing up especially. For sure my favorite species.

Psalmopoeus cambridgei #2 molted, now confirmed male. And my 5" P. Fasciata female is now on her back <- excited about this one, as this will be the 1st large tarantula molting in my care. XD

My P. irminia finally opened up its hide and kicked out a molt. Haven't seen the spider in its new clothes yet, but it is an irminia, so I'm not surprised.

C. sp. "Hati hati" #1 is molting - this hot summer is really making my Ts pop all of a sudden

^ ^ this hati hati also got stuck, despite moist conditions, luckily I saw it flip and I kept an eye on it, only two legs were stuck and I just pulled the molt from it carefully and it's completely fine now *phew*

All four P. irminia slings have now molted and are about ready for a rehome. Going to find containers this weekend and get to it.
