My Pseudhapalopus sp. Blue molted! And...went from .25 to .5in. Oh well, they can't all be fast growers :rofl:

I've been seriously slacking in reporting molts, now I'm way behind lol. Adult female B. auratum, small male P. lugardi, Y. diversipes #1, P. sazimai, smaller female (pictured), Poecilotheria subfusca lowland sling #1, recently reacquired juvenile female H. pulchripes, A. seemanni sling (also pictured) Selenocosmia crassipes is male, A. geniculata male matured, adult female D. pentaloris, and my small female Linothele sericata all molted in the last week.

What are you talking about?! It doubled in size - if it keeps growing at that rate it'll be as big as a stirmi in no time!

My other OBT slings, the second of my Taksinus bambus slings and one of my P. ornata slings have all molted. Another ornata sling, the third T. bambus sling, and the genic sling are in premolt (though that hasn't stopped the latter from eating, greedy little bugger)

0.0.1 Ornithoctoninae sp. Hana, maybe 1.0" DLS:

I wish it's webbing wasn't quite so thick so you could see how orange and yellow this little one is. Such tiny cuties! The other 2 I have should be right behind this one.

Had a shock today when I saw that one of my Ornithoctoninae sp. "Phan Cay Blue" juveniles had molted at some point during the past week (and is definitely approaching 4 inches DLS now). Keep in mind that this juvenile had last molted less than two months ago. The other one seems to be late in its premolt stage as well given that it's webbed very extensively overnight, and given that it has consistently molted around a week or so after its sacmate.

The P. ornata sling I mentioned yesterday as being in premolt has also molted.

From left to right:
Heterothele gabonensis - confirmed ♀
Bumba horrida - confirmed ♀
Acanthoscurria geniculata - suspected ♀

Good day today!

0.1 Pamphobeteus sp Machala. Her enclosure is small, it’s what I got her in. But she’s been in premolt so I wanted to wait to rehouse her.
