Psalmopoeus reduncus sling molted I’m guessing 3-4 days ago. I have not seen it out yet, but by the length and girth of the legs it looks to have doubled in size; could be an inch now. Flat out put the cambridgei‘s last molt to shame. Definitely has the size jump like the irmania. 😳

GBB, yeah, I said it. 😁 Has to be a solid 3” now, but the web castle is thick so this is as good as it gets. Finally back to a cute fuzzy butt and not the shinny armor it’s been sporting in premolt.

Irritated the A. Minatrix closed off its web tube; I need its enclosure for this guy. Whatever he’s doing in there he better make it snappy.

My Grammostola actaeon molted yesterday and wins the award for "most lifelike molt." (I'm not sure how she managed to crawl out while leaving it in such a lifelike state -- probably an upright molt.)

Unfortunately, when I snipped off the abdomen for sexing, my scissors clipped the area I wanted to focus on, so I'm not certain of the sex.

I guess they want to tell us something... my GBB just did the same! :rofl:

P. murinus female #1, the female I’ve had the longest molted today.
Turns out she still hates me.

G. iheringi female now 4"

And my B. auratum molted, too. Bought as a sexed female but she is a he! Contacted the seller, he offered me a mystery box with OW slings and I accepted.

I was not expecting this pleasant surprise just yet! This ball of mess is my freshly molted crown jewel of my collection, G. iheringi. Looks like it just flipped over upright.
