2 of 3 so far. The third one tore the molt up too much to tell anything. I've got 5 total, so I'd be happy to end up with 2.3 - and the odds of that are looking decent.
That’s would be awesome. Assuming those other 2 are a different sack then. Also being one on my wish list, I’m all for more Sabah blue breeding!! Got my fingers crossed for ya!

Tiniest bean G. pulchra molt. Super fast too! It was walking around when I looked in on it, 15 min tops it had molted and flipped back over to stretch. 20230817_152819.jpg

It wouldn't let me have the exuvia to sex it yet, so that'll have to wait...

0.0.1 Bumba horrida sling molted last night. I was a bit surprised it molted so soon after I had just begun to notice it’s abdomen darkening, but with how fat it was I suppose it shouldn’t be all that surprising.

Looks like it was molting under water...
That’s because the photos were taken through a blue tinted tupperware container lid. The position of the sling meant that getting a good photo through the uncolored (though still very cloudy) container walls was not possible. I keep all my slings in purely utilitarian enclosures. I am saving good looking enclosures for their final homes.

If I have anything to say about it, they should still be around when you feel ready to cross them off the wish list ;) .

Glad you got a few females! They're just drop dead gorgeous once mature and I can't wait to see your pictures of them. I still have 12 unsexed holdbacks from those two eggsacks and another eggsack in the incubator as well, so if you have any issues in lining up a project, let me know and we'll see what we can work out ;).

There should be new pics in the next few weeks - they're almost ready to move into 32oz deli cups from their sling dram vials. 👍
I will also definitely be in touch as they grow up!

A 4th Phormingochilus sp. Sabah Blue molted this morning. That is 4 out of 5 molting within the last 6 days. The 5th is likely still a couple weeks away, the slacker...

Three molts today:

- Phormingochilus sp. rufus juvenile

- One out of 0.2 Cyriopagopus hainanus slings molted into juvenile

- 0.0.1 Poecilotheria metallica juvenile, now bluer than ever

Currently expecting molts from one of my two Psalmopoeus victori juveniles and the other C. hainanus sling.

Looks like a hairy tick 🤣🤣🤣 that is definitely some booty 😍

Had a few moults over the past week or 2 but been laps in putting them on here as I have been busy but today my little female thrixopelma pruriens Mary moulted . She looks to be about 3cm now but I haven't pulled the moult as you can see she's still sat on it. 20230821_095115.jpg
Picking up some adult colours though. Will have to upgrade her now she isn't a tiny speck 😆

Others recently moulted
Nhandu caraponensis saf
Thrixopelma ockerti slings 2 of 3 to small to tell gender
Ephebopus cyanognathus now a confirmed female
Psalmopoeus pulcher sling still to small to tell
Brachypelma smithi slings x2 suspect males
Brachypelma auratum confirmed male
Brachypelma boehmei confirmed female
Brachypelma hamorii confirmed male
Tliltocatl albopilosus juvenile Honduran now confirmed female
Pamphobeteus ultramarinus juvenile female
Nhandu chromatis juvenile female

Think that was all of them sorry to my baby's if I missed any 😆

Today's molts:

- Both my Sinopoda jirisanensis slings
- One of my Ornithoctoninae sp. "Vietnam Silver" slings (this is actually an unexpected molt from a few days ago, the sling ate today)
- one of my three Phormictopus sp. "Gold Carapax" slings (other two are in premolt)
