Who molted today?

[WhiteMoss]

B. Boehmi molted last night 1- 1 1/2" now

Was surprised just now checking my Ts' and saw one of my LPs' on its back starting a molt. Didn't show any signs of premolt so it was a happy surprise.
L. parahybana was approx. 1 1/2" before molt

0.0.1 Harpactira pulchripes molted this afternoon. Hoping to grab the molt to sex it this time...

Assuming you're referring to the most recent post with the B. boehmei?

I don’t have that good of a camera, and this is the best pic I have. It’s a juvenile Brachypelma boehmei (my first molt!) and I need help to determine the sex of this spider please and thank you

Some how I was looking at another page when I was referring to the hamorii. But your B. boehmei is gorgeous and looks female to me.
Love the looks of B. boehmei.
Mine was a hair kicking demon when smaller. Since her last molt she seems to be settling down some. Still a. Beautiful T.

That's not my boehmei, it belongs to @tarantulas118 . Mine hasn't molted in a while, but it's got to be one of the most chill T's I've got. Yours is looking good.

C. cyaneus molted last night . Seemed to put on some size too. 3.25" dls.
What do you'll think as far as sex goes?

 

[Caretaker]

C. cyaneus in New clothes. Seems a bit darker this time out

From this pic it looks male, but if you can get some shots with the molt spread flat and a bit more in focus, post them here and see what people think:

Spermathecae sexing (Molts)

Pictures of tarantulas' spermathecae should be placed here for sexing purposes.

They're a great species - I've got one that's at 2.5" DLS and is just starting to show the purple triangle on the prosthoma.

Ok got a couple better pics of C. cyaneus.
I believe I have a female.
What do you think?

Yep, much better pic. Definitely female.

I'm rather happy this is a female . Starting to show more color too. This was the first intact molt obtained from this lil T.
I let molt dry overnight after soaking in water w a little dish soap yesterday. First just a dab with a wet Q-tip between book lungs then used toothpicks to manipulate the molt. Then a check with a hand held microscope revealed the goods. I was able to get the images using my new macro lens with my phone cam to get the pics worked pretty well.

This unsexed Phormictopus atrichomatus sling that I just picked up last week molted today. Got LOTS bigger, which is par for the genus...

 

[Caretaker]

Nice! I've considered P. atrichomatus more than once. i have a couple sub adult / large juvenile P. auratus that have grown faster than anything else in my small collection (except for maybe C .cyaneopubescens).
One of the P. auratus is female as I recall
(Ill have to check my notes) at least one or both of these appears to be in pre-molt and Its time to start thinking about lager enclosures for these two.
Their abdomens are big and they both refused this morning. They are usually very regular even aggressive feeders. I'd guess they are approaching 5".

 

[WhiteMoss]

Of course she/he chooses to molt right beside the water dish on the day I was going to top it off lol
Can't wait to see this beauty when it hardens up. So hard to find pics of this sp. so it's so exciting to see its colors throughout its growth!
T. epicuraneum approx. 1.5 - 1.75" before molt

 

[arthurliuyz]

0.1 Encyocratella olivacea

 

[NMTs]

No pics yet, but my Hapalopus sp. guerilla sling finally molted today. It's growing up - previous molt cycles were no longer than 45 days, give or take, but this time it was 160 days (buried for the last 95 days)! I hope it at least grew a little bit after all that time.

OBT finally looks like an OBT lol

If I did that list I’m afraid it be longer than the ones who have molted.

0.0.1 Ybyrapora diversipes molted! I need to get that molt out so I can sex it, but it's web is perfect so I'll be patient...

 

[me and my Ts]

My GBB finally molted again after 6+ months. The second picture shows all the molts they’ve had in my care through out the past 22 months. Luckily the molt came out perfectly and I was able to sex them as a female!

Also had my P. Irminia molt
