One of my B smithi spiderlings moulted early Saturday morning (but I missed it because I was out of town :wall: ) I've been waiting for them to moult since January. I think this one's just under half an inch now. :)




When I got back yesterday evening my partner told me that the A geniculata was webbing heavily :)

And low and behold this morning...

A geniculata next to her moult:


A geniculata moult next to my partners hand for comparison:


And the confirmation I was hoping for! She's definitely a lady :D



Must be this hot weather that brought on all these moults, they're a bit like buses....

Just as I was leaving for work and my trip this morning, saw my emilia sprawled out on her back. Going to be gone until Monday evening, she'll be on her own but she shouldn't have any problems. She gon look fiiiine! :)
To update, yes, she made it just fine. And now that I'm home, just 3 days later, I find molts from the following:

L. violaceopes juvie female
P. subfusca lowland juvie male
both C. sp. Sumatran tiger juvie female AND male
T. sp. Ebony

Apparently my Ts party while I'm gone

I have had the following molts in the last day or so:

N. Chromatus Sling Molt from 1st to 2nd instar
Green Bottle Blue Sling molt and go from 1" to 1 1/4"
OBT sling molt from 4th to 5th instar and go from 1 1/4" to over 1 1/2"

Sorry about the common names...I am going out of town for a few days and am pretty sure I will have more than 20 more molts to report then, everyone seems like they are saving up!

I even got to watch him flip over! Penny for size reference of what his molt was. I'll do it again with him when he's done stretching.

Yall dont know how long ive been waiting for this. He has been in premolt since early october, and has really been pissing me off for the last month or two. Patience is Not my strong point... I raised him since a 1/2 sling (got him march of 2011) and he is now lookin like around 61/2" or so ... i will post pics when he finally comes out of his cork tube.

Went down to check the spiders this AM, and found the new A. versicolor 'sling had molted. Sunday (5/27) my brand-spanking-new Hapalopus sp. Colombia molted... nearly my entire small collection has molted in the last few weeks, including the G. rosea 'sling that hasn't eaten and barely moved in months.

It's been a fruitful couple of weeks for my little collection!

My P. murinus molted and is looking sooo fine.
One of my two tiny B. vagans molted, and her twin just entered premolt.
My B. smithi molted, and I was able to check to confirm she's a she.
One of my G. rosea is webbing like crazy, so I'm hoping that she molts soon.

One of my many Lasiodora Parahybana slings molted yesterday. It was first of 50 (all from the same egg sac) and I am wondering how long it will take the next 49 to follow suit...

He'll probably toss it out himself in a couple days. :)
I have read that a lot do and he has moved it back a bit in the burrow so I am hoping it is working on it. The burrow is right up against the edge of the enclosure so I can see everything going on in there. Just don't want to risk injuring the sling while digging the molt out since it is sitting pretty close to it. Just happy it made it through the molt with no problems!
