Who molted today?

[aphono]

C. versicolor last night- saw it mostly upside down on a newly made hammock.. it's way bigger and fuzzier 1 incher this morning even though it ate only once in two weeks I had it.

This evening noticed one of the 1.5 GBB had already changed clothes, the other at same size is flipped over on a patch of new webbing.

For a couple weeks I was sure the .5" G, pulchripes was gonna molt any time as it has a huge, very shiny abdomen... yet it seems every one except THAT one is molting?! C'mon show those cute stripy knees already....

My Lasiodorides polycuspulatus moulted in the night and looks to have put on some serious size

[Goodlukwitthat]

in the past 2 days I've had 2 A. geniculata slings (one decided to molt on it's side,mostly successful...had to remove 1 bit of the molt from it's butt). and both of my Hapalopus sp. Colombia large tarantulas molt. I wasn't expecting the smaller one to molt . I have 1 more A. genic that needs to molt then the whole crew should be finished ^_^

My Cyriopagopus hati hati has snook a shed in. Not exactly sure when though. Can't take a pic of her so thought I'd just post a pic of the back of her enclosure.

She resides underground in her burrow.

Ehrmagerd! After two months of hiding (but visible through the wall) - one in intermolt and one in premolt - my 0.1 P. sazimai finally molted. Since I'm a newbie this is only the fourth molt I have witnessed and the increase in size blows my mind. From 6 cm (2.3") to 7.5 cm (2.9") !! Happy days!

That's a ridiculous amount of growth. Bloody hell that's almost on a mantis scale of growth between sheds.

My P. sazimai have similar size jumps at that stage all 7 slings I had/have.

That's great news! I know that there are a lot of variables but how long did it take between molts at that stage?

My house stays 70-74 in winter and goes up in the hottest part of summer (no AC). I feed slings every 3-5 days, juvies every 7-10 days and sub adult/adult 14+ days
example; sling 3/4" on 01/12/16 molts; 03/02/16, 05/08/16, 07/20/16, 09/14/16, 01/04/17, 04/19/17 now about 4" immature male

Yesterday: Y. diversipes sling #2, the smallest one.

Today: 0.1 Pamphobeteus insignis - hopefully she'll have finished when I get home, she was on her back this morning.

It is amazing! Got two slings same size at same time. Most likely same brood/sac. One molted maybe a week before the other one, the size difference was really something. Wish I'd have at least tried to take a side by side picture.

Same here, I got a sexed male and a female. The male just sealed his burrow with webbing so there might be something cooking there as well!
