I came home last night to discover a gooey obt sling last night. And ofcourse it shredded it molt so no sexing this time. Any one know the best time to start sexing molts from slings?
With even a cheap microscope, slings can be positively sexed at about 1”.

GBB molted a few days ago. I wish I could take a photo but the web tube is so thick you can't get a good view of it.

My Birupes simonoxigorum sling molted and at this stage you can identify it...
I have it since L1 (larve) and it grows great.

Two A. bicoloratum; one looks like a day or two ago maybe, and one tonight. It’s taken 5.5 months to go from ~.33” to less than .5”. Happy to see some color finally showing.

My Chilobrachys dyscolus "blue" molted Wednesday night. The abdomen looks pretty shredded, so I'm not optimistic about sexing.

Unsexed T. Violaceus, now should be sitting at around 2" DLS. Still unsexed due to them ripping molt.

This week
0.0.1 Avicularia minatrix
0.0.1 Idiothele mira

edit:
was able to confirm that the I. mira is a female thanks to @l4nsky ’s advice on softening exuviae!

My 3/4 inch T. albo molted in her burrow yesterday, having eaten exactly one small cricket since her molt last month, and my 1 1/2 versicolor decided to molt this morning in record time!

You can't just say it undressed.
Show the juice!
Get those long legs and slim waists on camera. 🤤
Well, the baby is still in her burrow, last time it took a few days to come out. Versicolor still hasn't stretcheeeed... She has a full water dish on the other side, away from the one I can't fill well due to webbing.

My C. lividus and T. albopilosus molted this week. The albo doubled in size and is starting to grow it's hair out.
