My AF G. pulchripes and dammit, I was hoping she was gravid. One of my 3 A. steindachneri, my A. bicoloratum and he hooked out. My daughter's P. rufilata, and C. versicolor. So it's been busy

My Psalmopoeus pulcher male peeked out after a few months in hiding and he appears to have matured.

My versi color who molted a few days ago, who grew from .5”-.75” to like a 2.5-3” (in a year) is a confirmed female🫡

Lovely pipe cleaners you have there.

 

[IntermittentSygnal]

Relieved to see the trash taken out after 3.5 weeks in hiding. Phormingochilus sp Rufus. May have to get up in the wee hours to see how much she’s grown.

I thought I was ready for the colors of a freshly matured Pampho male. I was not, he's so vibrant!

ICS Vortex, my Pamphobeteus sp. Machala MM.

One of my b hamoriis molted last night. I had a wee bit of anxiety because they molted upright. The recent posts of people with abdomen skin not properly molted is what gave me the heebee geebees. However, all worked out fine.

i still couldnt get a read on the molt. None of the molts i get have allowed me to sex yet. I probably wait to long to get the molt, some are just torn up and others in unreachable places.

measured the molt, which was over two inches.

in the last 14 days, my rcf p murinus molted and a g pulchripes sling.

my second b hamorii should be due in less then a month. The abdomen is still beigey. His sac mate that just molted had a dark black glossy abdo, with reddish blue hues. Yesterday morning, i was looking at his abdo and noticed “stretch” marks, that were wettish. That was my cue the skin was peeling and molting was imminent.

i should have taken pictures to compare with sac mate. But, plenty of those on the board already for new members to get an idea.

in the picture, we can see how big bis abdomen still is. He was super fat to begin with and would still eat. So i stopped feeding and waited.

i suspect my kochiana brunnipes is getting ready for a molt. But that little pet hole keeps its business in the shadows.

1.0 Harpactira cafreriana (matured)

The colors my rcf p murinus has some shade competition hahaha.

Hello,

I was hoping to see some photos of the MM A. bicoloratum? How long was his penultimate molt cycle? Do you plan on breeding him?

I haven't had my adults very long. Their last molts were over a year and half ago. Same for my little one I've had a little over 4yrs. Its a hefty 1in+. Maybe 2in if we rack'em.

Congratulations,

I will try to get some pix. I have no idea on how long the cycle was but was considerable time (over a year). I don't keep detailed molt notes so I am sorry I cannot be more helpful.
Yes, I plan on finding him a female or 2. What's wacky is he wasn't anywhere near full grown, was still in a juvenile enclosure, but out popped a MM. Has happened 2x w H. pulchripes for me as well

Keeping records is not something I do either. Thank you previous owner for writing them down. lol

Do you know how long a MM will live for? I have just one adult female, unless she molts within the next 6 months I'm afraid a breeding attempt at this point would be pointless.

I've had a couple surprise MM molts in my time of keeping. Like you, thinking they are way to young to be molting into adults. And then, poof! On the other side of things hearing this gives me confidence that my immature male will indeed molt out next time, hopefully sooner than later. He is definitely 4in right now. Not small by any means.

Anyway its not everyday we see MM of this species. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

Came home to find my GBB had some extra legs. I had a feeling a moult was coming but it's always a fun surprise.

0.0.1 Avicularia geroldi, getting the adult colors in finally around 2" DLS.

 

[ladyratri]

Pretty sure this is NEW trash being taken out, not old trash, because I saw some clearly larger toes next to it briefly.
Tapinauchenius sp. violaceus "T3" second molt with us:

 

[WolfieKate]

I have had 4 molt this month so far. My D Pentaloris (difficult molt) , my GBB and my T Verdezi sling, and finally my Pumpkin Patch.

 

[sp00dmama]

My itty bitty cyriocosmus elegans finally molted with me today. 🥹 that’s 6 out of 8 Ts that have molted this month, hopefully the last two molt before the month is over. As someone newer to the hobby, it’s so reassuring to see all my babies having perfect molts.

Anyways, here’s a teeny tiny heart booty (and it’s tiny molt):
T
I think it literally JUST molted because the T is still bouncing? Has anyone seen that before?

 

[corydalis]

Grammostola rosea "rcf" sling
Molted 5th time in 1 year in my care, it was her(?) 7th overall, and still looks the same gotta love the consistency! (to be fair, it gets a tiny bit "bigger" and a tiny bit "hairier" each time but c'mon..)

7.5 year old Phormingochilus arboricola

 

[NMTs]

This past weekend I got molts from:

0.0.1 Euathlus sp. "bronze" (might be 0.75" now)


0.0.1 Iridopelma zorodes (0.75")


0.0.1 Pamphobeteus sp. "light" (2.5")


0.0.1 Brachypelma klaasi (2"). This one totally surprised me - previous molt cycle was almost a year (340 days), but this time it was only 135 days...


Also without pics:

0.0.1 Acanthoscurria geniculata (little one, about 0.625")

1.0 Pterinochilus murinus DCF Mikumi (2.5")
