Who molted today?

[starlight_kitsune]

I've had 5 molts in the last two weeks. First my B. hamorii, followed by my A. avicularia having his maturing molt, then both my A. minatrix and G. iheringi slings at the same time day before last, and I'm not sure exactly when my A. seemanni molted but it has to have been in the last week since i saw them last Friday. Wasn't expecting them at all, butt was still light as could be.B. hamorii has been confirmed as very clearly female now which is nice. Unfortunately no pics of the slings yet.

My Lasiodora Parahybana I purchased about 2 weeks ago molted, probably about 2" now but its a skittish little one and doubt I will get pictures for a while.

Recently, a 1.0 P. pulcher, 0.1 Phormingochilus sp Rufus, 0.1 Phormingochilus sp Akcaya, 0.0.1 Avicularia variegata, and a 0.1 L. nigerrimum. I'm expecting a 0.1 P. rufilata, 0.1 Phormingochilus sp Sabah Blue, 0.0.2 Avicularia variegata, and 0.0.2 Ornithoctoninae sp Mindanao Central to molt out sometime in the next week or two

You have some really rare and interesting spiders. Difficult, or very expensive, to get them here in Europe.

Finally some pics. At least of the P. Cambredgei (Wolfenstein) and my P. Victorii (P. Malak)

The video is my P. Cambredgei after our successful rehouse today. That was uneventful, but incredibly stressful for me and the grandson. I was amazed at how chill she was.

The enclosure she was in was way too small, this is a bit big, but we'll see how it goes.

Edit; added a picture of the cambredgei, she's stressed and hanging out up at the top wedged in a triangle hide area. It makes me sad but she'll sort it out I'm sure.

Bigger enclosures are better for flighty, nervous species. It gives them room to bolt in the enclosure should they get startled and gives you space to work around them with less of a chance to spook them. Psalmopeous are great predators as well, and readily adapt to living in bigger spaces. For reference, my ~5" 0.1 P. pulcher lives in a 5 gallon Sterilite bin (16 1/8" x 11 1/4" x 10 7/8"), whereas I've noticed most keepers prefer something along the lines of 8"x8"x12" or smaller.

That is what I've been gathering, and yeah, she's a killer for sure. My Irminia is way more reserved at this stage. Anyway, she's in a Exo-Terra Nano Tall with drilled plexi replacing the screen, so yeah, 8x8x12 is it.

Avicularia juruensis M2 (sp peru purple) looks like it's gonna need a rehouse soon.

My other Ceratogyrus marshalli sling set out its molt last night.

I just noticed a molt in the enclosure of my Pterinopelma sazimai sling (from cold blood). It looks like it put on a significant amount of size this time.

As long as it is healthy and growing, I can't complain if it wants to take its sweet time turning blue.
