Congrats! In regards to your B. albiceps:
How big was it before the molt?
How big is it now?
Has it been a really slow grower and picky eater for you?

I have two that i recieved this spring at about .3".
They're a species i wanted for quite a while and I'm very happy to watch them grow. No matter how long that takes. The one has molted twice, now and I'd say it's just over .5".
Neither have been very picky. Pretty good eaters, actually. I feed them one runner nymph once a week and they haven't refused for longer than just a week or two prior to molting.

Thanks much for the info! I'm receiving 6 slings in about a week. Hoping to get a female or two at least from the batch of 6.

Molt epidemic here! My 4.5" B. boehmei is on its back. I go to work now, I hope everything goes well, she is one of my favourites.
Out of my 22 Ts 21 has molted in the last months except my 4.5" B. albiceps female.

 

[WolleWolf]

Everything went well. She should be around 5".

Rasputin, my itty bitty N chromatus, has decided to become a tiny bit less itty bitty.

Both of you have really healthy B. boehmei. Even after their molt their abdomen are nice and plump. Do both of you keep their sub completely dry?

Congrats on the successful molts.

 

[WolleWolf]

Do both of you keep their sub completely dry?

Yes, I keep my Brachys on dry sub with a waterdish (overflooding now and then).

Nice. One more question if you don't mind... Did your boehmei stop eating for a while before molting and if so, for how long?

 

[WolleWolf]

@joossa my boehmei normally never refuses any kind of food and she has stopped eating around 4weeks before she has molted

Really have a molt epidemic here! A true surprise molt from my B.smithi, she molted only 2 month ago and was 3"+ I have thought she will molt next year again, I think she hits the 4" mark. Very fast growing B. smithi I have. I will post a pic later!

So here she is ( was a freebie with .5", she grew to 4"+ in two years)

Just found B. cabocla flat on its back! Safe travels, little Bumba!

Same in here.

The female I posted in here didn't ate for a couple of months, then molted.

My Linothele sericata decided to change clothes again today, growing super fast
