Who molted today?

I know it's hard to see, but my little OBT is on its back

Finally came out after the molt

Roxy 0.1 N. tripepii molted yesterday. Nothing better than a gorgeous strawberry blonde tarantula!

 

[WolfieKate]

My A Genic moulted on Monday night/Tuesday morning. This is her doing that stretch my legs are far as I can pose. Currently she is stretching her legs out still here and there and I’m a bit gob smacked at the growth.

All hail the Royal stretcher!

H pulchripes molted

At least one of my Eucratoscelus pachypus. These slings take forever to grow, ~200 days between molts at this size.

All hail

N All hail to my fresh lady too

Well done little lady you smashed it

Dolicothele diamantinensis sling moulted, looks to be about 3/4" now. No pics as it's completely covered in webbing.

 

[zsiciarz]

Cyriocosmus aueri. The other one is a chonker, so she should molt soon as well.

Phormictopus sp Dominican Purple.
Currently in process. Hopefully the old abdomen bit isn't stuck on too hard.


Edit: Well, it flipped over and the old moult is stuck somewhat on the abdomen near the spinnerets. Any advice for what to do next? I put some water on it and got most of the old moult off but there's still some stuck on the spider. What's the process for making sure I got enough of the old one off? I also don't see the top of the thorax anywhere on the moult so now I'm afraid that's still on the spider.

My Psalmopoeus Irminia!
He (or she) is in his web tube so you can’t see him very well, but he’s eating so everything has gone well!

I didn’t want to post anything about this molt until I knew he’d be okay because the last time I had a Psalmopoeus this size molt, it died the day after. Katsuki has recovered beautifully though so I’m no longer worried

0.1 Theraphosidae sp. Colombia:



It might look like she's molting on the end of the cork tube, but her hammock is actually between the cork and the enclosure. Which genus makes an elevated web hammock to molt in that this species might match with?... Chromatopelma? Neoholothele? Maybe...

Just saw this and checking to see if you T is okay?

Aren’t all Neoholothele fossorial?

Aren’t all Neoholothele fossorial?

I believe so, but like many fossorial species that are kept in captivity, they will web extensively and essentially build their own "burrow" with webbing if not provided with enough substrate. This species (Theraphosidae sp. Colombia) may be fossorial to an extent - I haven't seen documentation about their natural behavior to know if it is or isn't. It hasn't really showed much interest in burrowing in captivity for me, though.

Or a dirt/web turret even with enough sub. :-}

My thrixopelma longicolli saf made one on her last moult so does my gbb saf and my phormictopus dominican purple saf made a matt up high 2 moults ago to, although this time she chose to make a hole in the sub to moult in.


And speaking of behold my fresh girl in all her glory


Moulted 2 days ago but hasn't been in the best place for a pic. You can see the hole she made moult still in it n remnants of the web hammock right above it between the grass and plant that she made to moult in last time.
She's done so well, looks like it went perfectly and she must be 5.4/6inches dls now n that colour is so bright so proud of her.
Well done my purple lady you smashed it .

All you can do is like warm water and a very soft paint brush. I hope your spider is OK.
