My Pachistopelma bromelicola sling moulted this morning and upon checking the rest I found not only had my Phormictopus cochleasvorax juvenile moulted he (i say he) was out and about for the 1st time in around 3 months normally I just have a hole. So here he is _20170503_111841.JPG

My B. smithi (or is it already B. hamorii these days?). Here she is, panting after the exhausting endeavor. B hamorii.JPG

One of my L parahybana molted. Its size jumped from under 2" to about 3".

I had to rehousse it this evening.

AF Nhandu coloratovillosus - she had just finished when I left for work. I hope she still gains a bit in size because she was extremely fat before the molt... I rather overdid it a bit with the feeding and she eats everything she gets. Exuvia is pretty exactly 5".

My A. hentzi finally molted! I've been waiting so long for this little guy to molt, this feel like Christmas morning. :D
I guess asking the Ts if they're ever going to molt pays off eventually. :p

GBB- .5 to 1" Happy about that, a little sad the legs are a little less fuzzier, beautiful color and patterning though.

Second G. pulchripes, .5 to 3/4-1"ish

First Grape pulchripes still has not molted despite huge shiny abdomen for several weeks.. the second G. pulchripes wasn't even huge/shiny just a little dark but it also had burrowed really deep with the door totally closed up for 3 weeks- pure luck it made a den up against the side.

Starting to suspect a nearly spherical abdomen may be a sign of premolt in GBB...?

That soon? Nearly posted a question about it but thought maybe it was similar to feeding.. wait a week or two at least before trying..
That's a good point, I'm not 100% sure if I should wait or if it's ok to move. Though the tiny vial these came in makes everything difficult. Especially clean up and watering.
Any hobby veterans with input?

Definitely wait a week before rehousing
