Finally, my biggest girl molted. It looks like she regained most of her missing fang, too, fingers crossed:
Flipped over late last night:

Earlier this morning

Back over, the right way up

Hogging her molt

'dem legs! Bit unsteady still

B. Boehmei to go now, but he/she always takes his/her time.

It's good to hear she's regained some of her fang.

My smallest B. albo moulted yesterday but I've not seen it yet.

Same here! Just molted overnight. I can barely see a smallish hairy butt through the webs over the burrow hole. lol...

My B. smithi molted yesterday morning, too! Yay! I know they're slow growers, but she's seemingly growing fairly quickly! This will be her second molt in 2 months. She's about 2.5" now...with a rehouse in order with the next molt. Very cool. I'll have to edit this post to add pics from my phone, which I'm not on right now.

My Vagen molted last night I watch it and flew thu it in a few hours

My B. Boehmei has just flipped over (first time I've watched a T actually turn over, yay!). Fingers crossed and photos will follow later.

My P. metallica moulted yesterday too.

One tired spider baby

I think, we have a boy, but will check again when he's bigger

I got it 14 months ago at just over half an inch and it's now over 2'' and had 6 moults with me.

Thanks, Enn49:
Some post-molt grooming and stretching

Oops, had to edit. Accidentally posted my other non-molting pics, lol.

Gorgeous T!! I think I "need" one of these...lol

Everyone "needs" a P.met lol. I've just caught it at full stretch and it is in fact 3'' dls.

 

[PamCz]

Everyone "needs" a P.met lol.

Agreed.

3"...nice! Colors are looking great!

Had a molt today...T. ockerti! I found it sitting on the molt, and when I opened the enclosure, it tried to make off with the molt! lol...perhaps a snack for later? haha I very lightly touched her abdomen & she walked off the molt & I was able to retrieve it. Still too small to sex it.

Was about 1" DSL, now probably 1.25". This is the first molt where it is starting to show the adult colors of red on the abdomen and green legs. Exciting! I love the adult colors on this species!

Congratulations on the moult.

My little H. sp. "Midnight Blue" moulted last night but I haven't seen it yet. I'd topped up water early evening but saw no sign but as I was going to bed I noticed what appeared to be an extension to its burrow only to find it was the old exo neatly perched on top.

Thanks, Enn! Congrats back at you!! Love molts...and love finding them. Little presents.
