My teeny, tiny, pinky fingernail-sized Euathlus truculentus (blue femur) sling molted today after 25 days of premolt. Haven't gotten a look at it afterwards, but if it grew 1/16" that would be significant. This is my smallest one by far.

Harpactira pulchripes popped and this one caught me by surprise since she still took a roach on Christmas eve. Need a name for her soon. Now just hope the mature male doesn't expire too soon.

My Sericopelma santa catalina saf moulted she hasn't come out yet but luckily can see (kinda) through the window in the tunnel she made n it's not the best but 🥰 I really can't wait to get a proper look at her. 6 month cycle and 2 weeks refusing food before she moulted. 1000002789.jpg 1000002848.jpg

No full shots yet but those legs 😍
My 2 ephebopus cyanognathus slings moulted too rapunzel's moult was trashed but Pascal's wasn't and 1000002824.jpg
Going with suspect female not 100% as the moult only measured at 1 inch but looks female to me.
Didn't get a moult pic but got rapunzel popping out the next day. 1000002819.jpg

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...

Check out those orange-striped socks!

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.

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. ☹

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... :rofl:

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. Aha
