General consensus is that Ornata & Rufilata are the giants when it comes to pokies I believe.
Yes, Rufliata my bad. My knowledge on Poecilotheria is limited. Never had one so my personal research/experience has been very small compared to others I do have. I’m looking to get my first one at my local expo, I’m thinking a Vittata

That is a shed carapace at the mouth of my C. elegans’s burrow!
I'm happy your C. Elegans finally molted. These tarantulas love to make us worry with molting, especially. Or like my Pulchra, who spontaneously decided to bury herself in her hide just a month after molting. I have evidence she come out at night to drink a couple times a week, so my next step is putting a cricket in her enclosure overnight to see if she emerges to hunt it.

How about your Hamorii? I don't remember if it molted yet.

Yes, my hamorii molted a couple of weeks ago, and a few weeks before that was my G. pulchra. I expect my C. cyaneopubescens is set to follow shortly, as she’s holed up in a little walled-off web hammock these days.

To round out the week and a half of molts the GBB completed a long-overdue molt this morning. They must have been STUFFED in that old skin because they practically shot that exo off like me taking my belt off after a thanksgiving meal. Time for a good rest now. 2947A43D-85D9-4C93-99FB-5A60292F35BF.jpeg

Definitely sounds like your C. cyaneopubescens is getting ready. I hope mine still has some time before her next molt. She's getting close to adult size and just molted two months ago, so I'm hoping I have a little more time before she disappears into her molting burrow.

I had my Pterinochilus murinus mikumi sling molt into juvenile colors. The gorgeous blacks are popping now. Black is definitely my favorite obt colorform.

I have a 3.5 inch Tapinauchenius sp. tena after her most recent molt. I still can't find a mature adult picture. No idea what I'm getting with this one.

My Phormingochilus sp sabah red molted and is 4 inches. They were dragging the molt out this morning. Hopefully, it's intact enough to sex.

I've been away for a week and a lot had happened during that time. They love to molt while I'm not around.

L klugi sling molted successfully today. When I was doing my morning checks I saw it halfway through the process and left it alone for a while to finish. Glad to see everything went well

No moult thrown and probably moulted a week ago easily but Aurora Ephebopus cyanognathus saf has completely abandoned her turret and taken up residents on the side of her viv, all legs and looks twice the size of last time I saw her out about 6 months ago, she's definitely moulted, I feel a rehouse coming on 😂.
