:( that stinks.. How was the pairing I heard they can be a bit agressive towards the males..

Yes if I female molts after mating the sperm is shed with the Exo skeleton as that's were there sex organs are part of..have to start all over. That's why you will see most people try to mate then a few weeks to a month after a molt to lessen this chance but sometimes it can't be helped
It vent actually pretty well, and she did not even eat the male.

My A.geniculata just molted and I haven't seen it out yet but I'm pretty sure the C.cyaneopubescens sling has molted in it's hide as well.

My big N. coloratovillosus just got bigger, and my small B. albopilosum just got a little bigger.

With summer upon us, the molts are almost a weekly occurrence. Love it.

Avic avic molted yesterday :) she grew ALOT. She used to be 3.5" now she's pushing over 4.5" I had no idea this was possible lol. I guess it was the amount of food I gave her, and the high temps. How big do avic avics get? image.jpeg

Ok, so I'm a bit late - but both of my Pamphos molted on Saturday.

The blue bloom (P. nigricolor?) was being a bit shy. The purple bloom (sp. Ecuador) was hungry! It also looks like "she" may be a he, with all that purple color appearing overnight!

Brachypelma albopilosum flipped over a bit ago and is already about half out. Maybe I can get an intact molt this time for sexing. Usually it destroys the important bits. :rolleyes:
