Just went to check them all and noticed another one that molted.
I didn't know these guys could grow that fast.

Aw, it is so adorable! I bought mine as a confirmed female so did not really get to see her baby stage.
The one I had before was a juvenile when I got him, so this is my first time raising them as slings.

Wow, three of my adult (or in the case if the male, penultimate) tarantulas molted last night: A. chalcodes female, B. hamorii male (now mature) and T. albopilosum female

I will take photos soon — the freshly molted B. hamorii MM is really stunning! :happy:

In addition, my female P. fasciata recently molted and is now over 6” DLS even without fully extending her legs! I’m going to be looking for a date for this beauty! :kiss:

Now I’m just waiting on my B. hamorii AF — more anxiously now since her date will be ready soon!

Last night was Phormictopus sp. south hispaniola's turn to molt. Found it grooming itself calmly this morning, didn't even flinch when I removed the old molt.

A. Avicularia M6

can anyone confirm that this is definitely the mature molt? This will be my first MM and I just want to be sure
Yes, he's matured.

I just woke up to see that my T. Vagans has molted! He is still on his back so I cant move his enclosure to get a picture. He is finally big enough to sex the molt but his ventral is so obviously male prior to molting, I already know he is a dude.

NOT Today, but on the 9th....2 of 9 of my spiders molted on the same day. (22% 🤓)

Here's the kicker...both ate the night before...

A. geniculata + T. albopilosum

At least one of my 3 P. cambridgei juvies molted today, possibly two (the other one definitely molted, just not positive when). But the size the one put on today is INSANE. I knew they were fast growers, but I was not expecting to have to consider a rehouse after one molt in my care! This one is now noticeably larger than the other two.

My P. ornata just molted. First molt she’s had in my care. Fairly stoked it was successful. Also my C. sp hati hati molted and it’s already looking like a MM...even though it seems a tad small for that.

Fearless, my Y. diversipes female, moulted yesterday after spending the last month in that web tube she conveniently constructed right above the front door. ;)

Brachypelma emilia sling molted this morning, and appears to be male. My juv. male G. pulchra did the same yesterday, but unlike the little guy below, he stayed in his hide during and after the procedure, so no picture was taken yet.
