Gbb.
Sometime last week.
She's hard and ready so I missed it by more than a bit.

My Ybyrapora diversipes sling has just moulted, and I'm so happy! Its last moult was in September, and once I tried feeding it, it became apparent that the sucking stomach hadn't moulted successfully. It showed a nicely aggressive feeding response, but after 24 hours the cricket was still almost completely intact, and there was no increase in abdomen size. I tried again over the next few weeks but the result was the same, and similar for drops of water placed on the web - it would attempt to drink from them but without success. I checked up on it every day and fully expected to find it curled up dead one day, but this morning it was on its back, so I carefully moistened the substrate to increase the humidity, then waited. I'll try to retrieve the moult later and check to see if the stomach is there - fingers crossed!
I'll create a new thread once it's feeding and I know there are no other problems.

Hard to tell I suppose but a subadult-ish 0.1 Caribena versicolor molted yesterday (there’s two colorful blobs hidden in that webbing, one up and one down!

0.1 Cyriocosmus giganteus molted. She should be nearing maturity as she's over 3.75" DLS. No good pics, just this one of her still hiding:


Also, 0.1 Phormingochilus sp. Sabah Blue (Gamma) molted. She's around 2.5" DLS, and still hiding:

Pamphobeteus c.f.antinous AF
Moulted 25.12.23

Repete finally molted, a whopping 41 days since Pete the sac mate molted, the previous record was 6 days.



No photos of this one yet, but I'm highly suspicious that I've got another miniature mature male Caribena versicolor on my hands. He went down for a molt almost 2 months ago. He was still juvenile in color/markings. Maybe I'm just paranoid. My first mature male is nearly 5 inches and has had his adult coloring for well over a year.

N. incei sling molted yesterday sometime. I didn't know it was in pre-molt, but should have.

Jealous!!!

Jealous!!!

Lol don't be. I still have another ~18 months or so until I can visually confirm they're actual mooreae. Honestly, I've had horrible luck with these..... I have 4 left out of 9.....

Recent molts last week:

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens - previously 5 inches, current unknown

Acanthoscurria geniculata - previously 5 inches current 6.5 inches roughly

Psalmopoeus irminia - previously 5 inches current 5.5 to 6 inches

Tapinauchenius violaceus - previously 3 to 3.5 inches current 4 inches

Waiting to get accurate measure.

One of my most wanted T's. Always waited too long when slings would pop up. These are absolutely stunning tarantulas.

Oh my! They'd die off? How strange. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the ones you have left are exactly what they're supposed to be!

It's been a fun sling so far! Feisty and beautiful. I'm hoping it bounces back after coming out of this molt rather weak acting.

Mix of a whole bunch of unfortunate events really... Issues with a winter shipment, keeper error when a few vials got knocked over, bad molt.....

I thought my mature male moulting streak would continue (P. irminia, P. pulcher, T. albopilosus 'Nicaragua', P. victori) on to five in a row with the Dolichothele diamantinensis that moulted on Christmas eve, but nope, he is not yet mature, just a large boy. I have no idea why he popped a leg though. It wasn't stuck in the moult (I checked) and I can't find the actual leg either so it remains a mystery. He's more than likely penultimate now so I really hope my female likes her men with 7,5 legs lol.

Phormictopus sp Bayahibe large sling. (3cm DLS measured but spider itself looks to have nearly doubled in size)
