Well, it wasn't T. pruriens (although I suspect that one will be next now) - it was Selenobrachys sp. Romblon pink:

Not sure why I'm surprised - it has molted in 37, 38, and now 41 day intervals. I guess I just wasn't tracking it well this time. Looks like it gained a good amount of size, too - check out those legs!

Another teeny dwarf sling molted, Pseudhapalopus sp. Colombia. I think it's almost 1/2" now! :rofl:

Just some post-molt “Spider-Man” stretching. Must feel good. I still can’t get at the dang exuvium in the burrow. Looks like sexing will have to wait until next time… whenever next time is! :sleepy:

Edit: It looks like I won’t be getting a useful exuvium out of this one! 😂

Phormictopus sp. Dominican purple molted about a week ago in her burrow and briefly emerged tonight. I was absolutely stunned by the size increase. About a 50% size increase. She's also starting to finally get some purple coloration. Once she hardens up sufficiently, it's time for a rehousing. I'll post a photo when I can.

I noticed my P. Cambridgei in a awkward position this morning. I said maybe a molt is coming. Yep woke up and it did a successful molt lol. Can't wait to see it when it emerges.

pmaphobeteus machalla, this photo doesn’t do her justice

0.1 Poecilotheria rufilata. I'll have to rehydrate it a bit to get it posed out for measurement. Here's her last molt at a bit over 7" DLS:

And here's that same molt next to the one I just pulled:

I was able to get a rough 7.5" DLS measurement a few months back when she was on the side of the enclosure. I'm curious to see the actual molt size and I'm extremely curious as to whether she passed the 8" DLS mark with this molt. I'll have to wait a bit to see her out and about though.

Well, she was a bit over 7.5" DLS. My money's on she's now over 8" DLS in her new clothes. 20220713_082804.jpg

Old molt next to the new molt.
