Who molted today?

[NMTs]

Thrixopelma pruriens sling, Ollie (or Olive), molted. Looks like it's almost 0.5" now!


Still looking at P. sp. nigricolor, C. versi, and now Psalmopoeus victori or D. rufoniger next.

My P. muticus seems to have molted while I was away on vacation. Those back legs are THICK!

 

[Shinn]

T. albopilosus molted. Approaching 2.5 inch mark!


Looks female?

Went out of town overnight and came back to freshly molted...

Pamphobeteus sp. nigricolor (confirmed male with molt):



And Dolichothele rufoniger:


Should have molts from C. versicolor and P. victori in the next few days.

N chromatus this evening. Gve it a water refill right after the photo.

Juvie X immanis also moulted but did it in his burrow and hasn't come out. I can see the moult mat, spider and exuvium through the side of the enclosure at the bottom. Looking forward to catching a proper glimpse of him.

One of the A. bicoloratum slings decided tonight was the night.

Beat me with a stick! I was feeding pre-killed and it was acting unresponsive so I gave it a nudge. Little guy just molted a few months ago, so this was not something on my mind as a possibility; these guys take forever between molts. Started molting upright and then got sideways. Looks like we’re gonna make it through just fine though.

Hold the press! The versi which I have not seen in about a month has emerged! Looking like a solid 4”. Was hoping it would have vibrant reds like the one my buddy has, but I’ll take a healthy T any day. Versace is looking like a beast, hard to believe I had this guy since .5” back in 2020.

1.0.0 Poecilotheria regalis

Warmer weather means tarantulas grow like weeds..... In the past two days, I've pulled molts from:

• 0.0.3 5i Phormingochilus sp Akcaya
• 0.1 subadult Pelinobius muticus
• 0.0.1 juvenile Avicularia variegata
• 0.0.2 3i Phormingochilus pennellhewlettorum
• 0.0.2 3i Tapinauchenius sanctivincenti
• 0.1 subadult Lampropelma nigerrimum
• 1.0 ultimate Phormingochilus sp Sabah Blue

NGL, pretty excited and surprised by the MM P. sp Sabah Blue. I thought he had two more to go before he matured. He's small, but I'm hoping he can get the job done. Both of my females are mature and less than 3 months into their molt cycles.

My H gigas and N tripeppi slings molted today!



Nhandu is still in their burrow but the other one has come out to say hi

 

[NMTs]

Psalmopoeus victori molted yesterday.



Next up should be C. versicolor, S. raja, P. cambridgei, and after a 6 month premolt I think N. chromatus is actually going to molt soon - it'll be a miracle...

 

[LD50]

My T. albo molted today, she's getting big really fast!

 

[NMTs]

OK guys, today was an exciting day on the subject of molting. First, Phormictopus sp. green surprised me with a molt after it ate yesterday...



Now, the really exciting part - my Nhandu chromatus that hasn't been fed since March because it was such a fatty actually molted! Only it's not a Nhandu chromatus! It started off as a regular NW terrestrial brown sling with a patch on the abdomen:



It finally went into premolt a little over a week ago, and it still looked nondescript:



After I saw that it molted today, I was expecting a red abdomen and red and white legs, but to my surprise, it was BLACK! So my Nhandu chromatus is actually a Grammostola pulchra:




I can't say that I'm really upset about it - G. pulchra are much less common around here than N. chromatus, not to mention about 3X the price... The place that I got it was selling some G. pulchra around the same time, so it makes sense that they mixed them up.

Next up will be P. cambridgei, S. raja, or C. versicolor. I think.

Don’t know if this belongs here
Macrothele phago molted today

 

[NMTs]

The Sahydroaraneus raja molted this afternoon. Had a nice size gain - DLS is over 15mm now!


The Nhandu chromatus imposter has darkened up some, and I'm more confident than before that this is indeed Grammostola pulchra. It is still incredibly fat, so it may not get fed again for another 3 or 4 months until it molts next...


It's a molting party over here!
