Went out for 3 days and came back to find out I missed the molting of my A. bicoloratum! But glad to see her in her new dress :D

Aphonopelma moderatum male “Grub” matured tonight. He’s gorgeous, but in hiding. Photo in the morning.

My smallest sericopelma sp santa Catalina.

This one arrived looking to be in poor condition about 3 weeks ago, it was sluggish and had the 0 hair on it's abdomen at all, my other Santa Catalina has never even kicked hair once, or threat posed for that matter.

My first Santa Catalina I didn't give a hide until it was a juvie, this one got a hide right away and ate one small cricket before spending the next 3 weeks underground. My previous Santa Catalina who was kept cooler and without a hide never had a premolt period longer than 5 days, while this one had a 3 week premolt. This is my anecdotal evidence towards @cold blood and @viper69 s sling theory.

The reason it's threat posing is because I removed the hide to check if it was still alive (due to the odd condition I received it in) and before placing the hide back down I had to poke it a bit so I could place the hide safely.
