Does everyone get excited (like I do) about it when they know their T's are about to molt or has molted? I look forward to seeing the changes in the slings and how much the have grown. We had 3 slings ( a white knee, a Chaco golden knee, and a red rump, pictures are coming) molt this weekend and I took pictures of them after they molted and wrote it down in a note book I'm keeping for the slings.

BobbiSue, my B. vagans sling, molted last night! I almost panicked when I opened her container to feed her this morning and saw what I thought was a death curl!!! She had molted early in the night and the shed had dried a bit, lol. She's still in her burrow so I can't see her well, but I do think she's gone from around a half inch to close to, if not slightly over, an inch!

Thanks guys.

I guess is scared me so bad because it was the first time I had someone molt and only saw the shed, not the spider sitting next to it. The little minx had already returned to her burrow and left the shed all curled up. But she is fine and looks to have almost doubled in size (again). My 1/4 inch sling is now around an inch long. :)

And I just got her at the end on 11/12! My babies are growing so fast!

I love it sometimes when they throw there skin around the enclosure or little cupid folds his up tsunami beats the daylights out of hers and some of mine just like to squash them.
