One of my Ceratogyrus marshalli slings brought out a molt last night.

Its so nice having slings again, they always reward you for your care with neat skins.

This time my little P. rufilata decided to add to my collection.

About what size is it now and when did it molt last? Did it refuse food for a long time before molting?

Sorry for all the questions.
I got two in march. They've both molted twice, now and are both over a half inch. I can't remember for sure exactly when this one molted last. Neither refuse for very long. Maybe two weeks when coming up on a molt. Otherwise, they eat once a week like clockwork. Just a single runner nymph.
I keep them predominantly dry in a small deli cup on shallow sub. I just squirt a little water to the side now and then and fill their little bottlecap dishes once a week.

Last night, I noticed that my female Psalmopoeus irminia looked larger than normal, and sure enough, there was a molt in her enclosure. She threat posed at me when I reached in with tongs to take the molt.

My Grammostola pulchra boy decided to molt again after 3 months and it turned out to be his last one.

Yep, he matured.

Got him as a tiny sling two years ago, molted nine times in my care. Looks like warm temps and big appetite boosted his growth rate significantly.

A. Bicoloratum got it's adult colors! Definitely more of a "creamsicle" then the sharp orange of B. boehmei. Still already stunning and love watching this T grow.

Sadly it's sibling sling buried itself in it's hide for three months and when I dug it up to check on it (since this one molted) I only found a moldy dessicated corpse. That is why I buy slings in pairs I guess though.

Highs and lows this week.
