Also had one of my trio of Ornithoctoninae sp. Hana (unsexed) slings molt this afternoon. That little orange butt could stop traffic, lol:

One of my Chilobrachys sp. "Electric Blue" molted unexpectedly today.

In addition, both of my remaining Parabuthus scorplings have FINALLY molted to their fourth instar (the third, sadly, suffered some sort of neurological poisoning and died out of nowhere after losing coordination, in spite of having been fine only 12 hours prior to the first symptoms).

Got my smithi chewing the molt and Slava finally came out for a stretch
Thanks! That's awesome! I actually really like the semi-opaque look it's rocking. And the metallica is beautiful as always. Is it that blue under natural lighting or did you use a brighter light source?

Also irrelevant, but how did you upload a video like that? Every time I've tried, its told me my MP4 files aren't videos and makes me take it to YouTube.

I just hit attach files and it uploaded. The P. met is indeed that blue right after a molt, though for these, I held a lume cube set to 5600k color temp, which is what sunlight is. She's *really* blue at the moment.

My P. metallica must have molted out of nowhere and stashed the molt, because not only is it noticeably larger, it has now attained the iconic blue coloration of the species.

In addition, my freebie C. versicolor sling (long story, didn't want one for now after my last attempt but ended up with one and it's actually doing great this time) molted yesterday, and the last of my P. sp. "Gold Carapax" slings molted today.
