My first T molt! *dances* When checking on everyone today, I noticed that my Hapalopus sp. columbia was an especially vivid orange and black and upon a closer look, that the abdomen was no longer disproportionately large and I saw what looked not like moss, but a molt at one of the sides of its burrow! I gently pulled out the molt, mostly for my own curiosity and confirmation. It was amazing to see!

My little sling when first I received them over a month ago:

After seeing the gorgeous photos others have posted here and reading of their bold...

Several weeks later they'd constructed a multi-chambered tent/burrow and were fat in premoult:

I generally keep damp moss to one side of my sling enclosures, but my Hapalopus columbia had...

Now here, freshly molted. I'm sorry that you cannot see them more clearly through the roof webbing, but I did not wish to disturb them further. Hopefully you can see the relative size increase (I think I'll upgrade their enclosure soon, maybe put this little 2 oz deli cup inside an 8oz and let it expand its burrow out as it will):

Love the Brachypelma albopilosum "Nicaraguan".

 

[Envoirment]

My Brachypelma vagans molted overnight. And it looks like my Grammostola actaeon is going to molt soon as well. Must be something in the air with all these molting tarantulas!

 

[Vezon]

G. iheringi - first molt in my care and the exuvium looks female from what I can tell

EDIT: A. versicolor sling molted as well, and sadly it got stuck in the molt. I managed to free one of its legs without consequence, but the other leg I unstuck doesn't look good at all.

My B. Vangas and my Tanzanian Giant whipscorpion .

My female H. mac. I can't wait to see her new clothes out in the open!

 

[Envoirment]

And it looks like my Grammostola actaeon is going to molt soon as well. Must be something in the air with all these molting tarantulas!

And I woke up to him/her on its back this morning. Should be finished later today.

B. albiceps sling #3 finally comes out after 75 days walled in to a burrow. Not much increase in size though...

My first ever tarantula -- a B. smithi sling -- molted for me for the first time today and I was fortunate enough to be able to see the process -- it didn't take long.



Not the clearest, what with indoor lighting and I took the photos through the lid rather than disturb the sling more than my entering the room and hovering over them already was. The sling is now lying on it's back, legs folded, already darkening. I can't wait to see how they look tomorrow!
