Adult female C. versicolor molted a couple nights ago. She's stunning, and just timed it pretty splendidly with my newly matured male.

2nd from my first and biggest, LP.
I didn't even realize she was in premolt, just found her all done after finishing hw and checking up on them. Really took me by surprise! But she broke her streak of only molting on the 21st day.

IMG_20220913_053753.jpg my cyriopagopus Albostriatus looks like it molted during the night. I haven't checked on it for a while since rehousing.
The molt is to the right. I use a card board backing to provide some security and the way it's went through the hide and dug down it's impossible to try and get to the molts so I'm just going to have to hope it pushes it out cleaning house.
I figured something was going on the way it webbed up the front of the hide within a couple days of getting a new enclosure. Deep moist substrate definitely a must for helping with molts on these.
Hopefully in a week or so it'll be at the opening of it's burrow and I can see it better. I'm excited but kinda bummed because I went nuts on the deep end of the enclosure with the substrate and wow did it make a crazy looking bent around everywhere burrow.

- My 2.5 inch L. striatus completed it's molt on 9/11. Put on significant size looks like it's pushing well over 3 inches dls. Will be rehousing later next week.

- 3 inch A. geniculata is in pre-molt.

- 5 inch T. vagans been in heavy pre-molt for a couple days now.

Apologize for no photos. Could not get any photos to be clear enough to post.

Unbelievably, my third Citharognathus hosei has also matured as a male, making them 3.0 in my collection.

Anyone got a female?

0.1 Phormingochilus sp Sabah Blue, just shy of 7" DLS in her old clothes. I had tried to pair her earlier when I paired another MF (a sackmate), and not only did she show absolutely no interest, but she webbed herself in her hide the night after the pairing attempt and didn't emerge until recently to toss the molt. She's actually several months ahead of schedule, which reinforces my theory that she was still healing from a crush injury during a rehouse one molt prior. Hopefully she's all healed up now as the best part is the MM is still alive, eating, and making sperm webs.

0.0.1 Psalmopoeus sp. Panama molted this morning. Very excited about this one - it had been dragging premolt out for a while!

Very pricey T but awesome looking as adults.
Yep, I splurged a little on this one, which only added to the nerve-wracking, drawn out premolt. Made it out with all it's appendages and considerably larger, though, so we're happy!
