Within the last few weeks, female OBT, and i think within the last 2 days female LP. I looked in and thought "what is that giant fuzzy thing?" it AT LEAST doubled in size. Totally caught me off guard.

I'm pretty sure that my OBT finally molted. Was ~.75-1". I'm not sure now but I can see her legs and they are definitely larger and beginning to be come colorful. I wont be able to tell until she's out and who knows when that's going to be.

I forgot to mention, that last night I did see her upside down in her burrow. Before I saw this, I picked her container up and she was definitely upside down and didn't move like she normally would if I picked up her container. Today, I can see her larger legs and orange bristles. I really hope she comes out so I can get a good look and if I'm lucky enough a picture!

Yup, definitely molted. He's quit a bit bigger. He's even got the shiny teal colors on the underside of his front legs now too! I'm both excited and frightened!

My B Smithi finally molted last night.
It is my first ever tarantula (small sling, 1st/2nd instar)
It hadn't eaten since Christmas Eve so finally I can relax.

L. Klugi and A. versi molted about the same time over weekend. The LP is still being shy and staying in hide while the versi is chillin' in the heavily webbed tube. I noticed the molt from the versi in the tube and wondered how the heck I was going to or if I would ever get the shed out. Surprisingly, the next day I found it had taken out the trash and the excskel had been 86'd.

The L. parahybana molted last week as well, pic ~7 dys after molt.

All my guys are still small. And the pulchra, who knows if it has molted, it is still burrowed.

Caught my T. Gigas sling "AMBER" molting last night! I'd say she's about 1in.. maybe 1.25 now.

My GBB sling surprised me yesterday with a molt out of nowhere. It even ate the day before yesterday and was showing no signs of pre molt.

G. rosea, Coca-Cola, molted last night.
Her damaged leg (probably from a cricket) is almost completely healed. One more molt and it will be perfect.
