Who molted today?

[Swagg]

My Aphonopelma chalcodes sling molted today. Didn’t even know it was in premolt. It had stopped eating but I just figured it was a glacial species fast. I’m stoked!

My 2" Tapinauchenius rasti molted this morning and is confirmed female! I've been raising two from 1/2" and ended up with a male and female!

Psalmopoeus irmina molted. It ate 2 days ago, I didn't expect it.

All my slings molted this week - A. chalcodes, E. campestratus, and Bumba/Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi! It had been at least 8 months for all three. It always amazes me how different species manage to synchronize their molts like that.

My Pamphobeteus sp. Machala also molted this month. And I am 0/4 for retrieving the molts... the slings all molted deep in their burrows and the Pampho is guarding its molt like its life depends on it. One day I will sex this beast I swear.

Surprise molt from my female Avicularia minatrix and one of my five communal balfouri molted right up on the surface. How considerate! Poecilotheria rufilata male too.

2 of my 3 B. auratum slings that i purchased on Jan 5 at the Manchester NH reptile expo molted for the first time in my care. (Thats a very light misting you can see so it has some droplets if its thirsty.) Number 3 doesn't look too far behind.

Acanthoscurria geniculata molted. Molt confirms male. View attachment 331166

Handsome devil he is

I noticed my C. versi was hanging out near the bottom of her web and thought she was just headin' down for a drink. I threw her B. lat in and moved on. A bit later I checked on her to see if she had eaten. Not only had she not eaten, but she threw off her old clothes. I had no idea she was in premolt. She's sportin' a new 1.5" beautiful dark blue coat.

P. subfusca LL male molted today. He is looking rather drab so either he matured or he is penultimate. They grow up so fast...

Charlotte-the-wonder-spider who survived a pepsis wasp sting finally molted again after 4.5 years.

Recently acquired Nhandu carapoensis molted and is male.

 

[Ungoliant]

My Psalmopoeus irminia molted on January 31 (and was even considerate enough to put her molt out today).

My Poecilotheria regalis (from @cold blood) molted today. This its second molt in my care; it last molted 2.4 months ago.

I think I'm having rare winter Moltapalooza (TM) - what I call it when a bunch of adult/sub-adult T's molt close together, this happens more often in the summer. My Bumba cabocla had already molted when I checked this morning, my Acanthoscurria geniculata was on her back when I checked a few minutes ago, and my Theraphosa stirmi should molt soon based her behavior. Also my Brachypelma albiceps and Pterinopelma sazimai both in pre-molt.

One of the two latest additions, the Nhandu chromatus, flipped last night and when I got up and checked, all was A-Okay. Her* third moult since I brought her home in December.

A couple days prior, I offered her a small cricket and she wanted nothing to do with it, so I knew it was pending. Getting a small cricket out of a small condiment cup containing a small s'ling can be tricky.

*I nearly always refer to undetermined -gender tarantulas in the feminine pronoun until I know otherwise for certain.

Pseudhapalopus sp. "blue" decided to molt, but elected not to grow.

 

[Paiige]

0.1 A. geniculata! Haven't seen her stretch out yet but I'm thinking 7"

H. maculata adult female.

My little A chalcodes molted yesterday. It is almost 2" dls now, all legs. I think it's female-? I got a good ventral shot and it straight up look like duck lips.
