Who molted today?

[Charliemum]

Technically today but very early. I was awake at 1:00 in the morning today and then I finally went to sleep so not last night. And I dont know when, but sometime probaly betwen 1:30 to 8:30 she molted. Now I woke at 9:00 and when I whent to chek on my tarantula, i noteced that she was in a weird position and as I was turning the cage I saw something to my left and IT WAS HER! Perfectly fine and just chilling on the side of the wall in the cage! And i went to check what that was and she molted! Now that was very cool. Im assuming she molted right after i went to slep or mabye when i was going to sleep because she did not seem to be streching when i woke up. Well it was all pretty cool and i did serch up picturs of fully grown Avicularea and my tarantula was about there size and this is only the third time she molted and I have had her seince january 10th LAST YEAR 2023... So i really dont know how old she is. But it was crazy! :Side note: So my mom wants to see it but she will wake up at 10:30 so i dont know if I should keep it in their untill 10:30 or take it out now. What should I do?

You can just leave it in it won't hurt your t n congratulations

I generally leave them alone, molt included, while they harden up.

Second molt of the day! My 1.0 P. Vittata is in the middle of a midday molt. More pics to come once he's flipped back over.

Denali, smug little Sericopelma sp Darien, already munching on her molt. Her pink socks are gone, I'm gutted

Woke up to a suprise molt this morning. My 2.5 inch A. Moderatum male molted overnight and is now a very leggy, very small mature male. I was hoping to breed this species, as I am close to their native range and would like to see more bred and less taken from the wild. I figured it would be another year or two before he molted again, much less became mature! Needless to say I was not prepared, and will probably be listing him in the classifieds here.

Check the classifieds, I got my gorgeous female from @Triprion, he still had one last time I stalked his ad

give her a few moults n she will be so black she will make a pulchra look gray and you won't even miss the socks
They are like looking into the void and blend with the shadows perfectly

Couple to report today

Don Juan Theraphosinae sp Dorado moulted I can't see the moult but we have gone from looking like a small tick to being slim line n tbh we have that many burrows moult could be anywhere

Shu my Theraphosidae sp Mandarin moulted all looks good and we went from 1cm to 2cm and are starting to get some adult colours

Dolly my now confirmed female Sericopelma sp Azuero has moulted, not only first moult in my care but she was very polite and threw the moult out for me and while I have no pic of her yet there was 2 n 3/4 inches on the moult and a pic of her girl bits for reference.

Well done little ones

T. Longicolli male is making preparations for a molt today. Wouldn't be surprised if he molts out mature, we shall see. Good luck little dude!
Update- all limbs are out and we've still got toes on the palps. Officially not mature yet, and molt appears successful.

 

[NMTs]

These molted earlier in the week, just hadn't had time to post...

0.0.1 Theraphosinae sp. cuzco, 1.5" DLS



1.0 Monocentropus balfouri MM, around 4.5" DLS



I'm traveling through next Saturday, so I should have a bunch of molts to record when I get back home...

Grammy iheringi came out of her tunnel freshly decked out in finery today.

One moult yesterday Vivian my Tliltocatl sabulosum moulted, silly spood moulted upright but tipped over halfway so he got out fine and everything looks great and he is definitely due a rehousing now .

When I first noticed he was upright.
Sketty legs after he had finished.
A good stretch this morning those legs got so long I haven't pulled the moult so no dls or moult pic this time, waiting till he moves away from it .
Well done little man

Gorgeous! That red is just so vibrant.

That and their overall leggy and gnarly look.
Just a stand out.
But i have to say i love the look of every tarantula species i have seen in the flesh so far.

Hopefully my male Gbb has a successful molt


So far, so good. We shall see tomorrow if he matured or not

Edit.. now that I'm off work, and able to see him out and about. He isn't mature yet.. no baby making anytime soon

1.0(?) Aphonopelma seemanni

After my (recently confirmed) female now it was my suspected male’s turn to do a flip and complete a molt. He decided to do it on the surface which was quite of an interesting choice considering that it’s basically a steep slope thanks to the guy’s systematic earthworks. He did a not very thorough job with his molt mat, then he flipped. Checked him couple of hours later but to my utter surprise he was nowhere to be found, so I took a closer look at the enclosure to find this:

Looks like he rolled down during the process and ended up at the burrow entrance in a relatively lucky position, there weren’t much space, but still enough to complete the molt. It was a rather unorthodox way to do it, but looks like he likes to live dangerously.
