One of my Psalmopoeus irminia molted, and kicked the molt into the water dish ^^.

My C minax molted rcently.

Or at least I think it is a C minax. It's an obligate burrower that was identified as one. I got it as a more or less randomly labeled, probably-adult mystery T for $10 at a reptile show back in may.

Grape pulchripes molted last night! Got to see it flipped over and later when it was just about fully out. It's *finally* showing off golden knees! I am in love... pulchripes, indeed!
I prefer the Huckleberry pulchripes, myself.

One of my M.mesomelas.The molt was in good shape,but not good enough for a gender determination.
BUT..after my disaster with my m.velvetosoma dying in molt,im happy this one was uneventful.
Ill post pics of it with new suit after it chills for a few days.

This weekends molts so far:

Both P. carpenteri slings
P. rufilata sling #2
1.0 Phormictopus sp. green - now subadult, but still not green :meh:

and M. mesomelas #1 - this is the third molt in a row that's ripped in exactly the place I need to see. Unbelievable, but I've a now about 5.5" mesomelas and I'm not sure about the sex. I'm thinking male, because I should be able to find spermathecae at this size even with a shredded molt, but I'm not sure. :shifty::banghead:

My Chilobrachy dyscolus. sp. blue. molted sometime between yesterday and ten minutes ago - here s/he is - molt and all

My P. sazimai has begun to show signs of pre-molt, I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. It's been an eternity since I had her, from a sling, and this will be her first molt [EDIT] in my care! A quick shot:

I was lucky enough to catch my B. vagans on its back last night. Stayed up and watched the moulting process for a little over an hour.

As expected 2 of my H. laticeps have molted yet again...they're growing like weeds, in total contrast to my P. sazimai and my B. albopilosum....mind you the more spiders you have the more molts you're going to have - duh.

IMG_3078.JPG IMG_3446.JPG IMG_3445.JPG My Pterinopelma sazimai gave me a nice awaited for gift lol - first time T owner long time lurker lol.
1st pic is when i got her 1 month ago(she didnt eat but then her abdomen went black so i knew pre molt and left her to it)
2nd pic is 'her' first shed
3rd her at the moment- still hasnt eaten but looks plump so moving her from pill bottle to small 8x12 cm tupperware box with cross ventilation- holla at me if you think pill bottles still best lots of conlficting info lol but shes more of a burrower at the moment so may try anyhow.
-also the abdomen is completly black now but tge hairs have

Psalmopoeus cambridgei. Suspect male molted into a confirmed female. Nice surprise. Worth the five bucks I guess

My 1.125" P. irminia molted yesterday. Can't wait for him to come stretch out and see how he looks! I suspect at this size, the same, but anticipating nonetheless.
