Who molted today?

[Westicles]

Not the greatest pics, but my A. avic. An absurd Petsmart rescue that had my blood boiling. Nonetheless, he/she can die in my care with basic needs met!

 

[NMTs]

Xenesthis immanis sling (or maybe juvie now?). Looks like it's legs nearly doubled in length - !


That was quick - not even 4 hours after I posted this saying it looked eminent...

This X. immanis sling (Neptune) has been in premolt for a few weeks, but it is finally laying...

This morning my biggest male decided to moult my Grammostola ihiringhi "Brian"
Not the best pic he chose to moult right in the entrance of his burrow, he is still on his bk as I write this can't wait to see how big he has got

 

[Tarantulafeets]

I spotted a freshly molted H himalayana through its window to its burrow, which explains why I haven't seen it out lately.

they eat like machines but so far the premolt times have been very long for me:

0.0.1 Phormictopus auratus

 

[HeartBum]

Came home to find my shiny GBB not so shiny anymore. I've lost count of how many moults now since the weekend

Also, my N. chromatus put on a huge amount of size from that moult. Leg span looks twice what it was. Madness! & 3 new additions coming tomorrow also. Nothing better than delivery day.

T. Vagans for the the first time in my care, and caught in the act!

My geniculata gifted me my very first molt last night. Two days ago she made herself a nice bed out ouf spaghnum moss und webbed her molt mat over that, yesterday evening she lay down and this morning she was done with it:

Grammostola iheringi in progress as we type.

And now mid molt.

 

[NMTs]

Man, it's molting season!

A. avicularia - molt was 2.75" DLS, post-molt stretch is just shy of 3.5" (time for a bigger enclosure). Also, it's a boy!


Ceratogyrus darlingi molted, as well, but that one is still underground so no pics yet. Eager to see how much bigger it's horn got.

H. pulchripes and E. murinus - you're on deck...

My A. seemani sling molted this morning! I got to watch it lay down a molt mat and kick a generous amount of setae, but didn't catch it flip over. Had to go to work and I'm always a bit apprehensive when I don't get to "supervise" a molt, but everything went perfectly. Put on A LOT of size, but I couldn't get a decent picture to save my life attaching my failed attempts anyway for your entertainment

I spoke too soon, checked my collection before bed and my newest acquisition molted as well! P. cambridgei sling

If you put your record on you can take stills and you don't get as much distortion off the flash coz it's on constant you can change your angles to get less glare it's what I do coz my cam isn't good on my phone but the vid record is good works great for me anyways

 

[ByMennen]

T albo been in pre molt a while, decided to molt down in his cork bark, fingers crossed he has enough room to change outfits

Edit: All is well, I see him preening up

 

[Shinn]
