C. versicolor subadult female molted yesterday She’s so red now! I’ll be rehousing her in the next couple of weeks. Pictures will definitely be posted!
Freshly moulted, super hairy Poecilotheria metallica. She moulted upright on an 80 degree angle in her web, then fell down to the bottom, she seems okay though and is stretching out now..... Clumsy one is this one.

has been pretty good for molts this whole week.
I was about to message @KezyGLA to ask when the G. sp. 'concepcion' sling he sold me last moulted because it hasn't eaten since I got it, checked on it to find it had flipped, pulled the exuvia and I'm 75% sure it's a girl (I only have a jeweller's microscope but I thought I saw a tiny flap lol).
My Tapinauchenius sp. Union Island moulted today (at least, I was presented with an exuvia at the mouth of a web tube today). It seems it's the second moult in my care, but I didn't find the first exuvia and this one looks quite a bit bigger than the T was when I received it.
It didn't grow very much, though, maaayybe half an inch, so I think this is one of the smaller Pamphos.
I've decided to measure the molts of all of my larger spiders since I was so annoyed lately of not being able to find reliable adult sizes for larger species.
And T. cyaneolum #15 - I think it's a male and possibly the only male I've kept for myself. The other 4 seem to be girls. Except #23 who's just a runt and too small to sex.
Pamphobeteus platyomma and D. diamantinensis.
*edit*
D. diamantinensis is female. P. platyomma is suspect female. Molt was too torn to get 100% confirmation.
