My B. albopilosum. 2nd molt in less than a month. It was 2/2.5 inches. Can't wait to see how much size it put on now

My 2" Theraphosa blondi sling molted last night/this morning 08/07/16. Discovered her (calling her, her, because she's all about that bass bout that bass no treble) around 3am flipped on her back. This took me by surprise because she was not showing any signs of pre-molt and had eaten earlier that day but missed two of the four 1/4-1/2" crickets I spotted those little buggers and tried getting them out but they found a small hole in the cork bark that ran up under the bark surface. I managed to get one out by leaving a piece of paper towel draped over the top of her enclosure but the other was more paranoid. So I sat and babysat for 3 hours watched the molting while keeping my eyes on that cricket I finally got a huge idea. Cut a piece of apple stuffed it in the hole the cricket ate the apple while she finished and recovered. Watched her emerge fully which took no more than 15mins, flip back over after resting for about 30min and start munching on her exuvia. She is now pushing 3". Earlier during the event I though about taking the hide out but the web mat she was on was connected to the mouth of her hide and I did not want to mess with that. I've never felt so threatened by a 1/2" cricket..

PS - I also had Arachnoquake and Big @#$ Spider playing in the back ground on Syfy rofl! I had to watch Lavalantula 1 and 2 which were on before those.

B. vagans sling is molting right now! So sad she does it in the bottom of her enclosure and I can't watch it without lifting it. I wonder how big she gets this time :D

She is my smallest spider and I couldn't believe how much bigger she is.

My L.parahybana moulted a few days ago during the day.....whilst I was at home. It was amazing to watch. Only one of my 'girls' to have moulted during the day so far.
