so this was actually 2 days ago but my adult rosehair that i rescued from horrible conditions a year ago finally molted, woke up to her on her back and was doing work on my computer all day so i got to watch the whole thing found her at 7:30 am she molted around 3 pm. and was on her feet around 5pm.
My A. Avic molted today! I recently got it from the store I work at and it wasn't eating or drinking, so when it molted today, I felt better knowing it was just pre-molt. Right now its sitting in its nest, chillin'.
Came home from my girlfriend house to get ready for work check on my T's and see my first T. An A. Versicolor just finishing molting. It's a female! She is close to 3.5" guesstimate. I'm going to go home and check on her right away.
First molt in a while, my H. mac sling molted sometime within the past couple of days. I was hoping since I got an A. versi sling now I could be posting more often.... Nope, three months and it's still about .75". It has started to refuse food lately so I'm hoping one is approaching.
I've also got two roughly 3" B. albo that are pushing two years with no molt.
Fed Pogo the Togo sling tonight for the first time after his molt last week. Was my first look at him since his molt. He looks to have just about doubled in size, and he (or she) is now showing the "obviously H. mac" patterning instead of just "fuzzy gray spider." He's around 1" DSL now I think.
My little P regalis who suffered a very bad molt in transit back in Feb this year has finally molted after 6 months of intensive care in an ICU, has managed to regenerate all 3 legs lost but shed the remaining most badly deformed this time, so has 1 leg left to regenerate. The new legs are almost the same lenght as the existing, but considerably thinner. Read all about it here http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?226526-Very-bad-P-regalis-molt/page2
Here's Baldi (A. chalcodes), who is no longer bald. Also definitely female. I'll upload more pics of the exuvium in my pic thread. I pulled it when it was very, very fresh. As in, still wet on the inside. The T had already moved away from it, lucky me! Not a huge gain in size from the looks of it though.
