Nice image- are they as bright red as the images you make them out to be. I swear some of the images look so saturated in red.

And my Ephebopus cyanognathus (as yet unsexed, but I will sex it with this molt):

I had two Sabah Blue holdbacks molt for me this morning as well

0.1.0 Chilobrachys liboensis (Maolan & North-Hechi locality)

Been waiting for this molt for so long.

 

[NMTs]

0.0.1 Cyriocosmus leetzi - it's now closer to 1/2" than it is to 1/4" DLS, so that's progress!

Can't wait till mine is that big ! Stunning girl congratulations . Atm mine is an undetermined size (I haven't seen them for about 8 months) spends 100% of their time in the burrow, I only know we are alive coz the food vanishes Did yours burrow as a sling ?

My C Versi molted last night right on schedule 44 days time to move to tall enclosure

Phormingochilus spp grow like weeds

Speaking of which, one of my P. everetti slings (the unusually bold one) seems to have molted today, as it has been in premolt for a couple of weeks and for the past week has been a lot less unusually bold in addition to heavily webbing up everything. Just saw a glimpse of unusually pale, seemingly thicker legs.

That said, the heavy webbing makes it basically impossible to see said legs clearly and there isn't a discarded molt yet (but give it time), so maybe it's just wishful thinking. My other P. everetti sling molted at some point in the past month but hasn't tossed it.

One of my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens is in the process at the moment.

Yeah mine burrowed as a sling, but not as much as yours it sounds.
Mine would be out but would bolt to it's burrow every time it's enclosure was disturbed. Also it would definitely do extended time in it's burrow when approaching a mold. Up until about 2.5/3.0" dls. at which time it's disposition changed and it no longer shows any interest in digging. Since then it just chills out in the open. It's very calm and doesn't spook when you open it's enclosure.

Also the spring moltapolooza continues.
Phormictopus sp. Dominican Purple finally starting to show some color.

Adult female Dolichothele diamantinensis molted.

1.0 Phormictopus atrichomatus:


0.1 Pseudhapalopus sp. Colombia:


Spring moltapalooza is right!

 

[CrazyOrnithoctonineGuy]

Well, looks like my everetti sling definitely did molt-making it the only T in my care that has molted twice within the current spring moltapalooza. Hopefully I can get both my everetti slings into the juvenile stage before winter sets in....

One of my C. lividus (out of four) molted today into its 3rd instar. Its two sacmates get into 2nd instar around a week after this one did, so I expect them to molt fairly soon as well, while the fourth (from a different breeder, came as a freebie) is pretty damn thin and nowhere near premolt.

 

[z32upgrader]

Adult P. murinus, T. ockerti sling (pictured) and a little Hapalopus formosus molted recently, all female.

 

[Frogdaddy]

Two more today.
Brachypelma hamorii


Grammostola rosea RCF

And right on cue, it's happened.

Sacmates who molt together shouldn't live together

One of my 4 C. lividus slings (3 sacmates and a freebie I got from another breeder) has just...

I expect the third sibling to molt any day now, if it hasn't already.

 

[ladyratri]

I guess a watched tarantula never molts... All I had to do was go away for a week!

C. versicolor probably-adult-now is still tightly ensconced in its perfect little crevice, as it has been for the last 6 months, so here's a photo of the evidence:

The chunky brachy molted today. First clean molt thinking it's a he. Love their colours
