Poecilotheria ornata sling molted in transite. They look okay and are pretty feisty, not worried but will keep an eye on them.

After a brief 10-day fast, P. irminia sling "Spunk" kicked out the trash today and slammed the door shut again 🤣

I'm sure my tiny teenager will come back out of their room when they're good and ready...

This Harpactira sling molted today. Not sure if it's H. dictator or H. marksi, but leaning towards dictator. If it's femur darken up then maybe marksi, but until I know for sure I'm calling it H. marktator (better than H. dicksi)... :lol:

So technically not today, but two nights ago Bat(wo)man (sex not yet determined) finally molted. Got a pic of the new exoskeleton last night while refilling the water.

It's my first T and the first time I've gone through a molt with one. I can hardly believe that it's the same spider.

Oh man I’m jelly. I’m waiting on so many molts. Haha, I’m getting a bit impatient. I’m like I wonder who’s gonna be the first. I really want my c. Lividus or h. Pulchripes slings to molt. More so the c lividus. It molted around a month and a half ago. Still. Surprisingly I catch it outside it’s burrow often but as soon as I go to look at it it goes right back inside. When I rehoused it like 2 weeks ago I had the perfect view under its enclosure and in the sides and I guess didn’t like being looked at so the other day I came home and it built a wall on the sides. So I can only see it from the bottom now. 😭 I caught a good pic of it last night though.

C. Versicolor enjoying a nice drink after molting overnight. This is my first molt with this little guy/gal and I'll be anxious to see if I'm able to tell the sex by the molt. I don't want to remove it right now, though, as there's no way to get that molt without disturbing the T.

Got a big ol box of slings last week and I think the moving stress caused the C. lividus to enter premolt. I'm tempted to save the .5" molt and display it next to it when it's an adult! He nearly doubled in size!

Thrixopelma pruriens and Encyocratella olivacea slings (both unsexed) molted within about 45 minutes of each other. Here's the T. pruriens:

That's my little Pseudhapalopus sp. Colombia sling in it's hole. It buried itself about 6 weeks ago, but was nice enough to make a window for me to see in. I'm excited to see it when it finally surfaces - it started showing some color after the last molt, which was 80 days ago.

It took forever (almost a month and a half of premolt and fasting) but she has finally emerged.

Female #2 O. violaceopes close to 6” and finally got rid of her baby colors. Gonna offer her a few roaches over this week and rehouse next Sunday. B0839322-D266-4296-BDA3-7ECB97EAFBCE.jpeg B2759549-7190-45E5-AB88-996FDE2C6222.jpeg 4BEFF40B-6483-4BAB-BD70-0D775BFC0431.jpeg

My young male M. balfouri molted today after close to 60 days of refusing food and a molt cycle more than twice as long as any before - and he grew almost an entire... 1/4". 😕 Oh well, we'll get 'em next time, right? Lol. At least he's showing a bit of blue now!
