Who molted today?

[PidderPeets]

One of my Hapalopus sp. Colombia "klein" molted at some point today. I was FINALLY able to sex the molt, and she's a female! Although the molt is only about an inch in legspan, the spermathecae actually appear to be properly darkened. Next it's time to wait for the other suspect female to molt to see if I can molt confirm her.

Molted a few days ago and was kind enough to deposit the molt at the burrow entrance today... female B. vagans #3!

Finally, my B. albo sling, who looked like a black, shiny tick for weeks now, has moulted while I was at work (of course, while I was away ).

And here he is after hardening a bit more:

First time seeing my B. Vagans in a few weeks today. Thought he looked bigger and sure enough there is a molt in its hide!

I knew my H.mac lass was due to moult. Not the most exciting pic of her moult so I grabbed some of her enclosure too. Love a tarantula's lair.

One of my 2 A.peru purple slings molted today and now has a tan butt with a tint of purple at 3-4 cm. The other sling must be due any day they were from the same batch and kept the same. Just looked and yep, shiny black butt.

The female N. chromatus I bought a while back from a fellow boardmember finally molted today and I was able to molt confirm her a as female (not that I doubted the seller, it's just nice to see things for yourself). Thought she was only about 2 inches DLS before molting, but she was actually around 3.5 inches! :wideyed: She was rather stubborn and didn't want to give up her molt after she started to munch it, but I got it from her before she could destroy the spermathecae.

G. grossa #1 molted recently.

There is a ghostly version of my Bumba cabocla in his lair. (Maybe I can get the molt for sexing.)

Update: He was courteous enough to put his molt at the entrance of his burrow, and now I know he is a boy.

Mr. Bitey my oldest P. cancerides molted overnight. Looks like I may have to change its name to Miss Bitey but need to wait for the next molt to know for sure.

L. difficilis and P. irminia molted overnight

 

[Thekla]

My T. cyaneolum moulted last night. I was a bit surprised because it was a tad earlier than expected and it didn't bury itself away this time. :wideyed: So, I hope I can get to that moult before (s)he destroys it, but I won't disturb her/him right now.

Pamphobeteus sp. ‘magna’
Brachypelma vagans

My Augacephalus ezendami sling (from @cold blood), which has been fasting for weeks, finally molted.

It doesn't seem to have gotten much bigger, but at least I can start feeding it again.

P. pulcher sling just finished
*edit*
Got the molt. Looks like another male for me.
On the bright side, just learned of the potential for a butt-load of baby pulcher with no work!
