If I was a male hati-hati, I would be beside myself - she's smoking 🔥. 👍
I genuinely didn’t expect this spider to look this good. I’m hella surprised at how good she looks with how cheap this species is. I need to find a male for her now.

Edit: Just got home from work and the last of my 5 O sp malthai molted!

It's a girl!

Mazel tov 😊 how did u get the moult off her ? mine always webs it into the web, soon as Fizz turns over after moulting she (🤞) starts webbing it to the floor of her web then sits over it when she's done there is no pulling it out without destroying her home .

Thanks! This one has done some similar stuff the last couple times she molted - basically trampling the molt until it falls out of her web in little pieces or gets incorporated into the web. This time I checked often and as soon as she pushed it close enough to the entrance of her tube, I was able to use long tweezers and pluck it out. Just got lucky, really! 😄

Nice to know it isn't just Fizz that does that then 😆 she has 3 moults webbed into her web atm but they are in the floor of her tube so I can't pull them without destroying her home , I will keep an eye for her next moult and try and pull it before she gets a chance to web it to the floor of her web . I am saying she 🤞 lol . Congratulations again on your girl though, very cool 😎

My Phormingochilus sp. rufus-Peach Earth Tiger Molted last night came home from work and found her out of her hide molting in the water dish go figure. She hid as soon as she finished so i cant wait for here to come out and show off her new size and new clothes.

If you want a challenge I can send you some T seladonia molts LOL the largest one I have is maybe 1/2” 🤣
I'd be up for it, but I think @Marcostaco holds the record for smallest molt confirmed female (he's definitely got better equipment than I do, too)...

My beautiful Kendal Mint Cake , Acanthoscurria geniculata juvenile female, decided to give me a valentines moult which is perfect as she was off my SO 😊
I can finally rehouse her now been waiting after discovering the dreaded mould appearing on her corkbark as I knew she was in premoult and I don't like to mess with them when they are.

Will post a better pic once she comes out but atm she's only just flipped bk over and I am not disturbing her more than I did to take the pic. Yay Kendal 😆

I never thought she could get as huge in an enclosure (she will cross 5 cm of body length after the first or second upcoming feeding :))
