I had my suspicions when I checked in on her earlier... And it now looks like A. purpurea "T" has indeed completed her ninth molt with us.
Obligatory terrible photo:
That's the fourth molt this month... which probably doesn't sound like much, but my whole collection is only 8, so half of them molting within three weeks is pretty wild!
And in particular, this girl is the first one I got, as a .75" sling, so it's definitely rewarding to see her continuing to grow can't wait to see the newest shade of purple
One of my big girls moulted behold Daphne (best pic I could get she's in her burrow.) Sericopelma sp Bouquete af.
She was already pushing 7 n a half inch dls before she moulted can't wait to see how big she is now she will probably be my largest girl
Well done my Lady you smashed it
My 6 inch adult female T. vagans finally popped the carapace and has begun the process of pulling herself out right now.
She's been on her back sometime this morning.
Recent molt completions are my adult female P. irminia beginning last week previously 5 inches and my B. baumgarteni a few days ago looks to be 2 inches now but it's a rough guess.
Update:
She has successfully freed herself from the old exoskeleton and her fangs are massive. They are bigger now than her previous ones at 6 inches
Photo is bad but you can see the white fangs. That's the best I can do without disturbing her, she's in a very low light area had to use a small flashlight.
