I just pop the skin in a bit of water with bit of detergent.. is this the best way to preserve it ?

I find that I don't need to do anything special to a molt to preserve it. What they shed is mostly made of chitin, which is pretty stable.

The only time I process molts is to sex them, in which case I cut off the relevant part of the abdomen and leave it to soak in water (with a drop of dish liquid to reduce surface tension so the molt won't just float on the top) for a few minutes so it will spread easier.

Caribena versicolor molted early this morning. She/he is probably 1.25" spread out or maybe 1.5". The molt was still too small and fragile to spread out. At least for me. Baby T is looking very leggy but that may be because it's fresh out of its skin.

My Grammostola pulchripes sling finally molted. Little dude's been tucked away in his burrow for a month.

this happened yesterday but i was feeding my 4 stone centipedes (dont know there scientific names) when i got to one i noticed it seemed to be eating an old dead cricket so i pulled away the cricket only to notice it was actually the tale of a molt and upon closer inspection the pede was slightly grayish blue. i figured i already had enough to eat because it ate its molt and the molt seemed to be fairly recent so i decided against feeding it, i wish i had some pics but i couldn't get any good pics

I got 3 G. pulchripes slings at the end of November. Two molted awhile ago. The third has been in a burrow refusing food for a few weeks now. Just came home to find a freshly molted spider, who had added its molt to the door of the burrow. Super excited, as now my first three slings have successfully molted in my care

[johnny quango]

My Avicularia braunshauseni sling surprised me with a moult

 

[checkmate]

Phlogiellus sp. Palawan just molted. Found the exuviae but it's still in its hole.

 

[Michael bradley]

Was shocked to wake up today to a fully molted
Acanthoscurria geniculata
Even though she ate last night.. she looks to have tripled in size!! But very camera shy so no pic today :-(

 

[lateapexpredator]

Nhandu coloratovillosus. 1/2 to maybe 2/3 inch now?

 

[Tim Benzedrine]

My A. genic moulted yesterday.
Male. I was worried about a possible bad moult as some of us do, but had been trying to remain optimistic about gender even though ventral sexing suggested otherwise.

 

[Ztesch]

I had a few T's molt this weekend.

Phormictopus cancerides

Hapolopus columbia lg.

Nhandu chromatus X2
