Suspect male P. metallica juvenile moulted today. Quite the size increase! He's in need of a new home now.

I got a bit of a shocker today. My B albopilosum and B. Hamorii Molted again! The B Hamorii’s last molt was 5/18/18 at about an inch and now it’s about 1 1/4 -1 1/2. It better slow down or I’m gonna buy another just on principle of suspecting male.

Basically every single one of my Ts molted this week except for my Pink Toe and my Chilean Rose, who I believe is getting ready (the last molt was September and it's acting molty). Even my little P. regius molted this week, which shocked the hell out of me. I thought she was already mature, but now she is HUGE.

I've had Ts for over two years now and this weird EVERYBODY MOLTS! phenomena still kind of freaks me out. What causes this, just temperature and humidity changes?

I dislike warm weather/summer ... but my pets are making me look out for it more ;)

One of my Phormictopus slings that been hiding for a while pops up ... sporting some new colors and size.

Then my B. vagans finally pops up also from her hide after 2+ bloody months. She probably is the oldest/largest T I got and when she decided to go underground she had a good reason, very large abdomen. She had 0 reasons to put herself in any risk at all and could just chill in her cave for a few months. *Cartman voice.. Screw you guys, I'm going home...*

My A.genic is always in the open and my wife and daughter adore her .. she probably noticed people looking at another enclosure... immediately decided that this unacceptable and started molting on the spot. Not needed, I know, but I can verify, A. genic just eat and eat till the last moment, she had a feeder like 1-2 weeks ago. Or she is hiding bodies in her burrow to keep up appearances.

Then hell froze over... one of my G. pulchra slings molting again. Summer is growing on me...

Hoping it makes it... molting is always a mixed bag for me ... fun and exciting but also lost slings to it. But the one time I did remove a stuck molt, it made it. "Funny" enough, it was from my Avicularia sp peru purple ... she(well "it") did end up with a funny looking leg, but she(it) still hasn't amputated it.

If it works, it .. works?

Woke up to see my new C. versicolor sling, Star Platinum, gave me a molt for this Independence Day. Nearly an inch in DLS now. :)

Been a month so they are molting again.
1.5 inch Ephebopus murinus molted and lost another leg (came to me as a 3/4" missing one, hopefully the previous missing one has grown back this round. Impressive growth between molts last round, hoping the same again. 20180704_202803.jpg

Maybe 3/4" Lasiodora difficilis also molted today, seems to be pushing 1" or more now since it was nice enough to molt in the open. 20180705_013306.jpg
