Just came home from work to find my E. Cyanognathus freshly molted! Wish I could get a photo of my pet hole.

L.parahybana sling #1 named Drogon molted, around two inches now, and also now a confirmed female!! Sold an adult female LP a few years back and regretted it ever since, glad I got another one. Be awesome if the other 2 unsexed siblings turned out to be girls also.

Just got home from the hospital and discovered that my P victori has molted, as well as my paired/gravid Y. diversipes

That makes it molt #3 for the diversipes adult, all within the last 6 months.
2 of which were after being paired.

Im soooo done with the sp right now lol

P. metallica molted again after 25 days. From 0.75 inches it sort of magically jumped to 1.5 :D

just discovered my female borneo black has decided to molt today.
Appears shes completely free and that the molt was successful

This should put her between 4.75-5"?

I am so excited I can't even tell you! My first Tarantula, and she has been pretty difficult so far. I was getting a bit discouraged. Very aggressive, threat posture, hiding in her hide (lol) and never coming out at all, attacking everything (water, plants, tongs, my breath) so I mostly left her alone as figured she was pre-molt. Has not eaten in the month or so that I have had her.

So last night she molted and is a beautiful deep black with a little bit of gold on her knees. I tried to snap a photo but she quickly ran back into her hide. I will snap some photos tonight. I don't know what species she is, as she doesn't quite look like a Chaco Golden Knee but I only got a quick look before she ran. I am a little upset I did not get to video it. And now I should be able to sex her. Happy days!

P. cambridgei - and I was able to confirm she's a she :D

I was somewhat nervous because she's from the same seller as my surprise MM Homoeomma sp. blue, who was supposed to be female. Since I hadn't had a molt from her before I very carefully made a hole in her dirt curtain and pulled the molt out and yes, she's female. The molt was already 6" so I guess she's mature now.
