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

BeautifulJust 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.
