[The Grym Reaper]

Juvie female B. emilia finally flipped.

 

[KezyGLA]

0.1 P. lugardi

 

[johnny quango]

My previously damaged (lost 2 legs falling from hammock while moulting) Avicularia metallica as now got 8 fat legs

Whoops! P. met is actually a girl.

Congratulations, it's always nice to get an unexpected surprise. Especially a female Poecilotheria that you thought was a male.

G. pulchripes #2 molted yesterday. No photos this time around though

 

[mconnachan]

I've been away for a few days, when we returned I noticed my O. schioedtei had molted, it was sitting around the inch mark, but I've not seen it to give a size. My B. albo molted eventually it looks to have doubled in size, these were just yesterday so I'm still waiting on the B. albo's exoskeleton to harden then open the enclosure and post a good picture. I'm assuming the O. schioedtei has grown a decent amount again, if its first molt in my care is anything to go by, it'll be around 1.5". We'll wait and see, very reclusive sp. to photograph.

At least two of my 3 C sp Kaeng Krachan molted recently.

(the exuvia are so tiny that it could b 3 for all I know)

Saturday is maintenance day and I found a few molt this week so far:

T. cyaneolum #23 - yay! I had 3 runts, #22 died, #21 decided months ago that it was time to start eating and growing and now #23 has finally crossed the 1" line... all the others are 2+"

N. carapoensis #3 - molted yesterday, actually, and got an upgrade from suspected male to confirmed male.

C. meridionalis #2, and it was out!! Around 1.5" now. I don't think #1 has molted yet, because the entrance to the hole is still all webbed up.

H. namaquensis #2- two of its legs look crooked, hmmm. But it must have molted a few days ago already and took its prekilled lat nymph without problems.

Aaaaand: Plesiopelma sp. Bolivia #2! If there was a medal for slowest growing species ever this one would be a contender. After nearly 2 years the larger one has now reached 2". Sigh. Still haven't sexed them, maybe I should give it a try.

Edit: found another one: C. versicolor, now more red than blue

Subadult male X. immanis

Absolutely! The slowest growing species I have ever kept! Slower growing than anything

 

[z32upgrader]

Female Lyrognathus giannisposatoi molted a couple days ago

 

[mconnachan]

Haha slower than my P. sazimai, it's been almost six weeks since I received it as a 1/4 inch sling, it's growing like a rock.<---- me waiting on a molt from the P. sazimai....lol

I jut pulled another exuvia out of my P cambridgei's enclosure.

I got it on 22 March, and it has molted 4 times since then.

That is not an exaggeration; I log every molt that I can.

One of our rescues who was missing a leg is in the process of molting as I type!! We're so excited! She was missing a leg when we got her, so we're looking forward to seeing the mini version of a new leg when she molts! We'll also finally be able to confirm her sex, so I'll try to update this when she makes it out successfully (Fingers crossed at least)

Edit: She molted!! Well.. fairly sure she's female...
Edit2: Just to add a picture of the fresh molt

Today, Pietro, my sub-adult male Lasiodora klugi, became a man. He is my first ever mature male, and yes, I do happen to have a lucky lady, Wanda, who I can breed him to (she celebrated her future mate’s entrance into manhood by eating a nice, big, juicy dubia roach). Maybe, I’m considering it. I didn’t actually expect him to mature out this fast (I acquired him two months ago) so most of my breeding goals were with late 2018 in mind. Any breeding would have to happen after Wanda next molts, which I expect to happen sometime in October (assuming she molts once a year, at around the same time).

Another odd note about this molt, there was barely any pre-molt. He ate when I last fed him last Saturday, maybe less enthusiastic with his eating than normal, but he nevertheless ate. He’s been less active the last couple of weeks, but that’s the only thing that’s seemed off. Today was the first time he didn’t want to eat. I figured, well, he’s a good sized spider, he’s probably in pre-molt and he’ll molt next month sometime. I left the cricket in there just in case he changed his mind. Nope, this evening, he was flipped on his back. I removed the cricket and left the spider to finish his transition to adulthood.

After several days of lethargy, my A iodius molted.

I have nine Apho, and have had them for an average of 2 or so months.

I have logged six (6) molts in a genus that can go years between molts.

 

[grayzone]

Just found a crispy mangled Borneo Black exuviae kicked out of her burrow, so im assuming she molted in the last 48hrs..

Also, i discovered my P everetti molting on Wednesday the 19th. I just retrieved the molt so im going to attempt to molt sex it, though im 99.9% certain i already know

 

[boina]

Ybyrapora diversipes - and I can't get to the molt without destroying most of her web, which I'm obviously not going to do.
I bought her as a sexed female, but I really want to confirm that, especially since I've the strong suspicion that both slings I have are male.

One of my 8 C Hati-Hati slings molted last night

My C.minax that I just purchased and rehoused 2 days ago just completed a successful molt and is recovering in the starter burrow that I made. The minax has made much improvement to the burrow since the rehouse 2 days ago. This is the best picture I can get of the tarantula and molt together. I am hoping that the next time I see this guy it will be more black in coloration rather than the grayish color it was before its molt in the picture posted of tarantula in original enclosure purchased in before I rehoused.
