My male Pamphobeteus sp Machala molted and he's huge and still not yet mature. He's super skittish and ran into his hide when I picked up his enclosure, but I see him chilling in there now. Absolutely stunning coloration! He's got some astonishing purple on his front legs I wish I could get a better look at. I'll have to wait for it.

One of my I mira tossed a molt out (unlike the other ones) so I'm going to try to sex it. They were all acting weird this week. When I went in to feed them, one popped out like normal, one did not, and one had a door wide open. I'll keep an eye on them to make sure they're ok.

My Bistriopelma lamasi also molted. I have a feeling its male, but I was able to snag the molt, so I'm going to try to sex it, as well. Since it's a little over a half inch, not sure how that will go.

One of my Theraphosinae sp. Panama also molted, but its sibling did not and is still eating. They're both starting to get really vivid color in, with thicker setae. Very excited to see this!

And finally, my Cyriocosmus perezmilesi matured out and is a man spider now. I'll have to try to find him a lady he isn't related to, but I doubt I'll have any luck with that. Handsome little man, though!

I have a feeling I'm gonna be posting my Brachypelma Hamorii here very soon. Its fasting, its quite sluggish and its abdomen looks like an 8 ball.

T. albopilosus sling and P. metallica last night and today. If the P.met moves its butt I can get to the molt; it’s in the back corner in a web cocoon but this turkey is right near where the lid opens.

From 1 inch to 1.5 inches. This is what i consider a transition between a sling to juvenile,also a lot more colors!

My Brachypelma Hamorii. I'd show a pic but you know what little miners these guys can be.

On Thursday, I discovered that Pavlov, my Poecilotheria regalis, had molted into a mature male. Time to start looking for a date!

T. okerti

And the one I really didn't want to see yet....Singapore Blue.

At the last molt, I was guessing over 6". So I started scrambling to get it's final enclosure together. It's been up for about 2 weeks and I want to go another 2 so I can get the moisture stabilized and everything grown in a bit. She is going to be a beast! 2 feet hanging out so far. She's been coming out a lot more frequently and is due for the much needed space.

My GBB sling molted this morning and my L parahybana molted overnight. The L parahybana looks great, went from around an inch legspan to about 1.5" leg span and actually looks like a tarantula now. The GBB is a 1" legspan now, think it was somewhere around 1/2" before this. My N. incei is eating his first cricket post molt, he molted two days ago and is now a bit over an inch.
They're all so tiny I won't waste space in the thread with photos since I'm just using a phone camera. :)
