The normal Aphonopelma growth, huh? LolMine molted too....... to 3i
I'm hopeful that I can positively influence the growth rate of most of the Aphonopelma slings I recently acquired lol. I've had quite a few molt already, but I haven't had a specimen molt twice yet to better judge effectiveness.
The most obvious thing I've noticed with my Aphonopelmas was most of their substrates don't absorb water that well, when I do watering; it just puddles up and evaporates after some time.
ugh…..no curled legs or nothing was just normal posture just dead. Idk why it hurts so much when you have a loss. Although people say it’s just a dumb spider. I was really looking forward to this one since it was in premolt for a long time compared to my other slings and it had packed on size this molt. It seemed fine. Temp, and everything was to par. Then I just doubt myself when this happens. 
I had my other H. Pulchripes sling, P. Metallica, Ephebopus Murinus, and one of my C. Lividus molt since I last logged in here and my o.violaceopes. All have been fine except my violaceopes. 
Those are excellent quality images! May i ask, what lens/microscope do you use?
Thanks! These photos are just with my Samsung S22 phone, but I also use an Olympus TG6 with macro settings. The magnification is with a Carson Pocket Microbrite pocket microscope that you can get from Amazon for like $15 - it'll do 60X to 120X magnification and has been super helpful. Then I just use my phone to take a pick through the lens of the scope.
I will be ordering one asap. Thank you for your reply
We can get attached to any animal whose company and care we are committed to. The loss of a beloved pet it hard, regardless of how many legs it has.I’ve had a couple of my lil dudes molt but I’m afraid to add my O.violaceopes died a week after it molted. I was about to feed it when I saw it dead outside it’s burrow.
