Who molted today?

[Vanessa]

My Caribena versicolor juvenile female moulted and her exuvia measured 3". She has traded in her teenage colours for her adult ones.
This is the only Caribena versicolor, who I have raised from a spiderling, who has ended up female. All the rest have been male.

 

[Flashback]

My T molted 2 weeks ago (juvie adult). How long before I can feed her again? Someone mentioned wait until the fangs are solid black, but she hasn't climbed the glass of the enclosure yet, so I can't see the fangs.

I think she's gotten into a hunting pose (not 100% if she was just being a T), but generally speaking how long does it take for the fangs to harden for a juvie / adult? Should I wait another week?

Those pictures are so beautiful. I can't wait for mine to get those colors, sitting about 2.5" so hopefully next molt! Also hoping the little shite doesn't chew this one up so I can hopefully sex it. Thank you so much for sharing your pictures!

Feed your T! If she take the food, she's ready. If she don't, she's not. It's as simple as that.

Two weeks is likely enough time for a juvenile to be safe to feed. If you want, try testing her feeding response by dripping water nearby.

Augacephalus ezendami. Still a sling.
Poecilotheria ornata. Still a sling.
Psalmopoeus pulcher. Now an adult female.

My female Poecilotheria miranda molted today.
228 days since last molt. 40 days in "premolt" refusing food.
She is now, estimated, 17cm (aprox a little bit less than 7 inches).

 

[Arachnophoric]

Pterinochilus sp. Arusha gave me a molt. Sitting around 1.5" now if I had to guess.




Snagged the molt to attempt sexing but found it inconclusive. I can make out what appears to be possible development of the uterus externus, but I'd have expected it to be more developed by now with how small this species is. Which means it'll probably end up male.

My adult female B.albopilosum molted for the first time under my care today. Exciting moment, everything looks good, I saw her walking fine, but it is really hard to see (you can see from the pics) because she sealed off the two entrances of her hide. She is still inside and has been 'playing' with her exuvia (dragging it up and down) for a bit. Please come out little fury ball

Now I'm waiting for my T.cyaneolum who should follow soon hopefully.

My juvenile female Grammostola iheringi moulted today

 

[Blonc]

My B.emilia Jesus shucked its latest molt some time the past night and while I haven't seen it stretched out it does seem to have put on some decent size again.

 

[Scarge]

My Xenesthis sp. blue sling gave me a good scare last night when I checked in on my critters. What I initially thought was my spider with its legs curled up underneath it was actually just the molt sticking partially out of its hide, surprised me a bit as it had eaten 4 days earlier.

 

[ThorsWebb]

The next day: she regain some true color, still "yoga" but...I mean, she is breathtaking!
I don't know what to say

(Hope this is ok within the rules of this thread)

Who molted today?
One of my Linothele megatheloides did!

Don't know if this even is aloud to post here, but I found no other thread for it. And I do think she deserves to be seen in that soon to fade away phase.
