Who molted today?

[Arachnophoric]

Tapinauchenius cupreus dropped a molt, can't snag the molt to confirm but pretty certain it's male.

And a surprise from Centauri, my female Cyriocosmus sellatus. She really got a bit of size this molt, I think it might be time for another rehouse!




Last minute entry - this girl hasn't molted in over a year!

Anyone fancying drumsticks for their Turkey Day?

Fina, 0.1.0 Pelinobius muticus

Pterinochilus lugardi sling molted. Appears male. Good news for my two large females!

My B.Boehmei molted today. its color is showing more

Well, my H. pulchripes moulted out into an MM. I still love him though.

 

[Minty]

Poecilotheria rufilata sling moulted. 4-5cm DLS now (rough guess).

Psalmopoeus irminia SAF moulted. Due a rehouse after the next moult.

Acanthoscurria geniculata juvenile female moulted.

Cyriopagopus sp. bach ma sling molted. Looks like two legs are stuck (it was finishing up the molt when I got home from work 7 hours ago but just woke up to find this out, figure everything is hardened past the point) and hopefully it just drops them. On the plus side, it’s fairly plump so shouldn’t need much food.

From zero stuck molts to one right after the other...interesting to say the least.

Well, I decided to see if I could get the legs out. Turns out one made it out but is wonky, and the other popped off when I was trying to reposition the exuviae...
Got some starch on it so here's hoping it doesn't lose too much haemolymph.

Couldn't sleep for anything after getting home from work this morning, so I went and checked on my Ts - just in time to witness not one, but TWO molts!

P. metallica - joined his brother in molting and is also now a confirmed male, making 2 for 2. Better luck next time, I suppose!



And my tiny A. chalcodes, who I actually had to lend a helping hand to; I noticed after she flipped back upright, part of the molt was stuck to her tiny abdomen. I used a small syringe to dribble a couple drops of water on the molt and it thankfully popped right off - Frisk is now hardening up just fine and spritely as ever.

Well I have two molted in one day did not find a slit or pocket in the molt so I'm assuming both are male my mexican red rump and my metallic pink toe (which is really large for a mature male leg span if 5.5 to 6 inches. ) but I see what looks like boxing gloves

I don't think the Avic is a MM seeing that it still has pink toes and from what I understand males lose them when they mature, but your T. vagans is definitely a mature male - he's got very obvious tibial hooks.

My pink toe has the hooks as well and boxing gloves he also has lost the pink toes on his pedipalps. So I'll be looking for mature females

My suspect male E. murinus just molted after eternity of waiting. And guess what, he's a she!

0.1 E. murinus

• ephebopus ephebopus murinus exuviae female molt murinus sexing skeleton tarantula spermathecae uterus externus

I almost gave up on this one being female. However after eternity of waiting she finally molted...

My juvenile Thrixopelma pruriens moulted this morning and my Avicularia braunshauseni is finishing up as I type

 

[Brachyfan]

My Tliltocatl albopilosum molted last night for at least the 4th time since the end of May

Went to give it a worm and found a nice little "gift" waiting for me by the water dish! The t is sporting adult colors now but no hairs yet. Must be at least 1.5-1.7 " dls now.

Two of my four N. incei slings molted - a mere 3 weeks after their last one!

 

[Chaos4eva]

Finally my first molt! My Avic Avic just molted but it's inside her tunnel webbing. Can't wait to eventually see it so I can get help sexing it!

My Orange bob molted some time last week, and one of my A. geniculatas molted yesterday and i think its a confirmed female.

That's a spermatheca right?

Two molts tonight - Jigsaw the tiny little Poecilotheria ornata decided to have her first molt with me, and my Selenocosmia sp. "Ebony" molted as well. I'll have to double-check to reaffirm next molt, but it looks like she's female. Which is nice, since the Selenocosmia kovariki ended up male.

Got a few sitting in heavy premolt as well - Ephebopus uatuman (sus. female, hoping to confirm), Avicularia juruensis M1 (aurantiaca), and surprisingly my Pterinochilus murinus Kigoma. Again!

Edit - make that three molts! E. uatuman decided to flip and do the deed just in time for me to sex it before work; Holo is no longer a suspect female, now confirmed.

Pretty pic of her shortly before molting just cuz.
