Wish I could see my juvie X immanis since he moulted a couple of weeks ago, but he's been hiding in his burrow ever since.

Verdugo (1.0 L. klugi) motled into a mature male today. He's on the small side for his species and I was quite surprised. It also makes me a little sad, especially since he was my first tarantula!

Hapalopus sp. guerilla sling, Koko, molted tonight. Those little white spinnerettes are a dead giveaway (plus I can see the exuvia under there)!

Found my D pentaloris had molted this morning! Their colouration is starting to show much more clearly now.

I've had seven molts this month all at once it's been crazy!

I tried to reconstruct my N carapoensis' exoskeleton but it's looking a bit flat :rofl:

That aside, he is so much more vibrant in colour at the moment and he looks absolutely stunning :happy:

Brachypelma auratum sling, Venus, molted tonight. It doesn't mess around - looked at it before dinner and everything was normal, looked again about an hour later and it was done! Ate last night, too...

Next up should be A. juruensis, M. balfouri, and C. darlingi (not necessarily in that order). I also think my big T. albo girl, Hagatha, is getting ready to molt in the next several weeks - she's excavating a burrow the size of a football, so something is definitely up...

Nice. It's a toss up between my D. pentaloris or G. pulchripes sling as possible molt next. But knowing Ts probably end up someone else molting just to prove you wrong. Hopefully my D. pentaloris will leave me an intact molt to determine the sex soon.

Yep. This one was really surprising - I knew it was getting close, but figured it would still be a couple weeks off.

All of mine have been sucking the exuvia when they're done, too, so getting one intact has been difficult. Good luck!

Your boy (the N carapoensis) should meet my girl some time. 👍 this is a pic of her.
