T.blondi...ya,i know,another spooder had a molt.BIG deal,right?
Its still impressive.Its still a wonder!!.
If you get bored with a successful/uneventful molt from your animal,
you may have lost your passion. Years later,it never gets old for me.

For all the new people coming to the hobby,passion,obsession...a molt is a big
deal.Ok,im done.

And being a Theraphosa sp wait until he/she emerges absolutely massive compared to the last time you saw him/her.

Their growth is astounding.

My female T. Ockerti molted today after being in her web den for 4 whole weeks...now I get to wait another 4 for her to decide shes had enough of her see-through "hide". At least she makes me laugh.

My P.irminia moulted in the last few days, but I'm a bit worried about her. She's in a web and dirt bubble against the back of the enclosure, away from the water dish. Her abdomen is awfully small right now, way smaller than I'd think possible for a 9 ish cm T, it's like a pea.
I used a syringe to squirt water onto the back of the enclosure where it dribbled down into the web bubble. She drank quite a lot off of the glass, so that's good. Hopefully she'll break out of the web and go for a proper drink soon.

0.0.1 Cyriocosmus sellatus, finally bigger than an inch! Growing like a weed, lovely little thing.
1.0.0 Neoholothele incei also surprised me with a molt, even more surprised he didn't mature out. I had to check his molt again just to make sure he was still male. :rofl:

My GBB moulted while I was at work. Can't wait to see her fully out of her den, I can only see very shiny blue legs. :astonished:

Super excited about the first spider molt in my care! My 1.5" DLS B. albopilosum flipped over last night, and I woke up to a different spider. She's gained a serious amount of size, probably at least another .5" added to her DLS. I wasn't expecting that at all--I thought she was supposed to grow slow o_O.
