Who molted today?

[TLSizzle]

Oh wow 444! That actually does look just like my gal. Thanks for the visual reference!

 

[CalicoGremlin]

Looks like we're on an Aphonopelma roll! Mojo, Aphonopelma sp Pueblo. Molted and put on quite a bit of size, but seemingly no color. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Their same size aphonopelma neighbors all have approximate adult colors. This one seems to be determined to stay sling tan forever.

1. Theraphosa blondi (one moult off maturing now I reckon)
2. Pamphobeteus fortis - Large juvie female. Spermathecae pic for reference

Pseudhapalopus sp. blue, female.

She is so dark a few days after molting, wow. Didn't expect that.
Edit: ...aaaaand she is a he, again. This is a mature male.

What is the size? I've got a male P. sp. Colombia in premolt, and I'm expecting that he'll mature when he finally does molt, but just wondering how big yours was before and after maturing. He's pretty cool looking!

Theraphosinae sp. Colombia

Those Theraphosinae species you have are really just stunning!

He's now 3 cm in body length, or 8.5 cm DLS. Doesn't look like he gained a lot in the bulk, but definitely more leggy than before.

That last image messes with my brain until I zoom in.
Also..jelly spider!

Thanks. That's about the size mine is. He molted today but didn't mature like I thought he would. Not complaining, though!

1.0 Pseudhapalopus sp. Colombia, ~3.25" DLS:




Another 0.0.1 Theraphosinae sp. Dorado sling molted, too (about 1.125" DLS):

Today's a day for suprise molts for me. Two of my wolf spiders molted this morning, and my Aphonopelma sp diamondback molted overnight! I had thought it was still early days for this one, so I'm pleasantly suprised!
Most of my Aphonopelma shelf is either freshly molted or in heavy premolt. So y'all should be seeing a bunch of Aphonopelma updates here soon.

‘Tis the season to be molting!

 

[sparticus]

Came home to this freshly molted booty peeking out of her cave. Arson, G. Iheringi female.

 

[444 critters]

Poecilotheria metallica molted the 26th. No more deli cup for this one, a bit over 4" dls I'd say

Don't mind my black nail, I'm a Painter and it's hard to keep my hands clean




I'm actually pretty surprised, my brachypelma boehmei molted April 22, and has just molted again today may 31st. This lil guy/gal is growing alot faster then I thought was possible. Alot faster then the rest of my brachypelma..

 

[CalicoGremlin]

Freshly peeled Aphonopelma sp Acapulco! There is exactly one spot of mold in that enclosure, so naturally Fuego had to molt on top of it. They're pushing the 3 inch mark, and have been quite consistently molting every other month since I got them in November.

 

[444 critters]

Brachypelma klaasi had a late surprise for me this evening.. little fellas first molt for me..

 

[Tbone192]

Both my Orphnaecus philippinus and Omothymus violaceopes molted successfully today. My tiny Ornithoctonus costalis molted just over a week ago but finally surfaced. That is a lot of O's... O philippinus ~2.5"
O costalis ~1"
