If it doesn’t develop the bright orange on the second set of patellas then you got yourself a Hamorii especially with that black.Petco Brachi rescue decided to put in an appearance Christmas morning! Wooooo! I’m leaning hamorii View attachment 435288 View attachment 435289
I put my molt in water hoping I’d be able to tell but the abdomen part is all crumbed into a ball. So not much I can even do with that. Leaving it overnight hoping maybe I can try seeing tomorrow.This young Ephebopus cyanognathus (2.5" DLS) molted today. It stays in its turret/burrow most of the time, so I didn't really know it was in premolt - but the discarded exuvia was a good clue...

There was a hole in the molt right where the spermathecae would have been, but I'm leaning toward male with this one. Maybe it'll surprise me next molt, though.
Shoot, I wish I was as lucky as you. Haha, I even checked all of them. Just incase j see another one. No luck. I’m really waiting on my H.Pulchripes to molt.Another one molted this evening - must be something in the air...
This time it was my young, confirmed female Psalmopoeus pulcher (Rubia). She webbed up her enclosure very heavily over the last couple weeks, and molted in a web hammock rather than in her hide. She'll be over 3.5" DLS after this molt:

It seems like there are a lot of them that are in similar cycles, because there will be nothing for months, then a bunch all at the same time. There are a few others that I'm expecting will molt soon, H. pulchripes being one of them, too. Maybe yours and mine will do it at the same time...Shoot, I wish I was as lucky as you.

Imagine if they do? Ahaha, hopefully soon. Yeah I haven’t gotten molts from some I got a while back. My tiniest sling I had which was my C Lividus (green femur) hasn’t molted since October. Has been eating like a pig. Very aggressive little eater that I don’t prekill anymore. And I can tell it should be hitting premolt already don’t know how it hasn’t. Then again it ain’t my P Irminia or Cambridgei. AhaIt seems like there are a lot of them that are in similar cycles, because there will be nothing for months, then a bunch all at the same time.
