P. pulcher just got done. Hoping to pull the molt and confirm gender. Hopefully I am completely wrong and it turns out female!

And I was right. 100% confirmed male.

P. miranda molted last night. I got to see her make her web mat and then flip over onto her back and start going at it! First time I've witnessed a molt. Usually I just find the old husks in the morning.

Grammostola actaeon - can now confirm that it's female! It put on some good size too, at least 1/2". Should be around the 4" DLS mark now. Abdomen quite small though so going to order some nice big juicy crickets for when its fangs are hardened. :)

Lasiodora parahybana sling - looks like he's finally put on a good amount of size! His previous molts didn't have any noticeable differences, but this one I can see it's start to get a big bigger.

Acanthoscurria geniculata - hasn't molted yet, but it's made a web matt and its abdomen is massive. Expecting to wake up to a molt as it's now flipped. This is going to be the biggest molt yet... Think I'm going to be in for a rather big surprise tomorrow morning lol.

I've got a few more that are going to molt soon - Nhandu chromatus + Brachypelma smithi both have rather large abdomens and they're darkening... My Avicularia sling has been refusing food and I've noticed it has a swollen abdomen. Then there's my Phormictopus sling with a shiny dark abdomen too... As soon as one molts the lot of em do lol. It's like an early Xmas present. :)

I have 2 okerti MMs that are not nearly that large. The big one is about 4.25", the small one is under 4"

That's a huge MM you got there.
that's what I'm reading about 3.5-4.5 is average. I bought him unsexed from John Lorbekie at about 2". Now if my 6" WC female will just molt all we be set. (her bare abdomen has been dark almost black for a week now)

0.1 C. fimbriatus molted a few weeks ago
0.0.1 C. fimbriatus molted some time ago, it just drug out the exuvia today
0.0.1 H. huahini
1.2.1 G. pulchripes slings molted within three days of each other
0.0.1 P. cambridgei molted... @cold blood, this is the one that never ate. Turned out it wasn't eating because it was in premolt, which is shocking given how skinny it was. I need to get this thing a meal asap.
