Aphonopelma sp. Encino. They wanted to stay in their corner so that was the best I could do.

My Nhandu tripepii. I wonder if she'll go back to being as twitchy as she used to be or she'll stay as laid back as she was when she was in premolt.

I don't see any blue or yellow. It is possible it was mislabeled when it was sold. Accidents happen.

My B. emilia went up a size.

I honestly didn't carefully monitor it. I just noticed it looked that way when it was facing away from me. It is new hair under there, so I imagine it all grows in at the same rate. Brachypelmas don't molt very often so be prepared for a long wait. There really isn't any reliable way to predict...

My B auratum also came with a bald butt. It just means they were kicking hairs. Who knows why at this point. That bald spot will darken up before they molt. Here is mine's butt a week or two before they molted.

Grammostola acteon. I had no idea she was going to molt. I gave her a dubia roach. I checked the next morning and she had built a molt mat over the roach. She was on her back so I didn't dare try to take it out. The roach is still webbed down! I want to take credit for documenting a tarantula...

Aphonopelma sp. Jalisco. Took long enough! It's had a black shiny butt for almost a month.

Aphonopelma sp. Acapulco. My normally low key spider was a bit sassy post molt.

Another victim of autocorrect. Pics?

At least it wasn't the roaches from Damnation Alley.

Got sent this today. It was too good to not share.

Aaaand today we decided to do a Grammostola rosea. Word on the street is this is a red morph. I'm gonna be waiting a while on that color.

Aphonopelma bicoloratum molted. That explains why it wasn't eating.
