Who molted today?

[WolfieKate]

Two have moulted yesterday and today, but I only moved home on Monday! It took so many trips avoiding pot holes. Dolicothele Diamentis sling and Citharocanthus Cyaneus SA female.

Currently an in progress moult of my GBB!
Hopefully enough of the moult is intact that I can sex it

Caught my A. Seemanni just finishing up her molt this evening.

The C. Versicolor molted today. When they’re ready to show off I’ll be able to get a picture. I hope I can finally get a guaranteed sex, but I’m guessing male with one more moly until they reach maturity.

Tliltocatl Verdezi. Melvis. Moulted yesterday bless it. One of my favourite sling progressions from a tiny pink sling to a furry inch and a half and yesterdays moult looks female.

GBB sling started molting the next day after unboxing. Glad to report the molt is a success

Juv female genic has just moulted. Can barely see her when I peer into her hide, just a moulted skin and some new legs.

Had my baby P. Cambridgei moult, went from 1/2” to a whopping 5/8” . Not even posting the picture. I did initially think it was dead as the exuvia resembled a death curl, then saw another, not dead Psalmopoeus at the top of the vial in the lid.

Caught my Male B. hamorii mid molt! Fingers crossed this isn’t his ultimate molt, lol.

Starting to get old? Or very very freshly moulted?

Here are some pics of my gorgeous little Avicularia Juruensis two weeks after molting. She molted the day after I picked her up from my breeder at the end of March, and after a a steady diet of gut-loaded crickets she was back in pre-molt within 6 weeks, molted two weeks later, and is out hunting crickets again like a champ, and looking gorgeous. I really hope she turns out to be a female.

These avics are such cool little creatures. All Ts are amazing, but I find something particularly endearing about these pink toes. Watching them hunt is amazing. She usually grabs the cricket within 10-15 minutes after I put it in her enclosure, but sometimes I need to exercise patience and am rewarded with a fantastic ambush.

The species really is a joy to keep. The fat, pink toes of the little juvies are adorable, their temperaments are skittish and gentle at this size, and they are quite hardy and capable of hunting medium crickets left in their enclosure - sometimes quickly and sometimes over a period of several hours. They spend almost all their time out on display, in their high webbing where they do surveillance of the enclosure. I've found that they appreciate a darker living space than my terrestrial species, mimicking the shadowy world of the tree canopy, and I've set her up so she doesn't get the bright light my other specimens seem to enjoy during the day. As a result, I have to photograph her using artificial lighting - a torch and iphone in this case. I hope to try a 100mm macro lens and speedlight on a DSLR soon for some detailed closeup shots of this beautiful specimen.

The baby B. Emelia molted upright today. That was a surprise for me. It looks like she actually put on enough size to get out of this tiny cup. She’s now working on pumping some lymph to her appendages. That makes three this week— C. Cyaneus, C. Versicolor, and now the B. Emelia.
Now I’m waiting on my GBB and G Rosea who both ate today.

P. subfusca “lowland” AF molted. Been sealed away in a cork tube for ages found the web opened an a molt thrown out on the floor this morning, still pliable so it must’ve been recent. Measured out at pretty much exactly 7”

That’s a rather large arboreal moult
