Two long awaited molts finally happened: Acanthoscurria geniculata and Catumiri argentinense. Also Grammostola pulchra molted a few days ago and outgrew her 6x6cm enclosure.

Carrying on with the Theraphosinae trend both my sp Cuzco and sp Dorado moulted . All looks like it went well and both have picked up some colour instead of being see through slings, both still to small for gender so i haven'tyet retrieved their moults for dls.

Ivy my Psalmopoeus cambridgei also moulted but no pic as she's hiding in her web tunnel but I found a tiny moult at the entrance.

One that makes my heart sad to report Lil Mo my Kochiana brunnipes juvenile female moulted but hasn't survived. I am not sure what happened she was half way through everything looked fine but she just stopped moving. I waited a while thinking she was just resting but after a few hours it was clear she was no longer with me. I am truly gutted as she was my favourite out of my dwarf sp. Obviously no pic to go with this one.

Thank you , still not sure what happened when I took her out the moult was detatched she had 1 toe still in the leg but the rest of her was free and the toe came out as I moved her so I do not think she was stuck, I am not sure why she just stopped . I don't think I will ever know. But thank you for saying, she is a massive miss to me, the shelf where she sat just isn't the same .

I can understand that a lot. I almost took Lloyd's (my first loss) enclosure down yesterday but couldn't. It hurts but it's my way of honoring his life. Lots of hugs your way. Don't change. ❤

I can understand that i still have my first spiders enclosure too, she was a Tegeneria and even though just a common house spider she was special to me and i could never destroy her enclosure. Lots of hugs back ❤

Had a molt I've been waiting for a while: my juvenile Chilobrachys natanicharum.

I also had the largest of my S. calceatum slings, an A. genic sling and one of Cyriopagopus sp. "Bach Ma" slings molt in the past few days

Was that the trolling versi?

Meanwhile, my Hapalopus formosus finally molted. Some people say this species grows fast - well, mine doesn't.

And I just noticed an Amazonius burgessi-shaped jelly.

Just got back from camping to see my Tapinuachenius plumipes molted and is officially sporting adult colors. This is the young lady that dropped a rogue sac not too long ago.

Sorry it's not the best picture. She's normally a tappie but must've just molted.

Came home and looked in on my spiders to see one with much longer legs than when I saw him last. Waiting to get a better view, but I don’t think he matured 🤞 although sir, you are looking a bit gangly..

Yesterday came home to A variegata having molted. As she’s lined the walls with web, I can’t get a clear shot of her, but here she is the day prior looking like she splat on the wall.
