Oh man, I'm slightly jealous!

@sym Ooo wow, that's stunning.

My little H. sp Midnight Blue has moulted but only chucked a couple of bits of the old exo out and I've not seen the T yet.

 

[sym]

I've just noticed some small mites in its enclosure so I will need to rehouse ASAP ..
Stunning colours glad I got it now

 

[sym]

@Enn49 .. Be interested to see what it looks like now . What size was it ?

 

[Enn49]

@sym I guess around 0.75''. although I've not seen more than a few legs recently. It's got a web funnel and hides in it most of the time and is very quick to dive below if I try to get a photo. I'm dying to see it properly

 

[Enn49]

@sym

Midnight has just honoured me with a quick view of all of it. It is now at least 1'' dls

 

[spidey noob]

@sym that's one stunning T !!!

@enn I'm glad u got a good look it's stunning !!!

 

[Enn49]

Sad to say my E.sp red moulted last night then died. I shall miss it as it was a great little character, always on the go.

So sorry to hear that . You've not had it for that long, had you?

I came home from an event to find my G. Rosea on her back finally. I've had her for a little more than a year and it's the first time she's moulted with me, so I'm naturally quite nervous. Especially since the bigger ones take a lot longer than the slings/juves.

 

[Fuzzball79]

Well, she's out. Still on her back just now, but she's arching, probably trying to flip back over. From what I can see, she looks complete (8 legs, etc) and her colours are beautiful: deep red and velvet back belly.

@Fuzzball79 I'd only had it 3 months and it was it's 2nd moult with me. I'm glad your G. rosea has moulted successfully. I know how you must have felt as ours hasn't moulted yet in the 14 months we've had it. I'll look forward to post moult pics of yours

Couldn't get good photos as the angle wasn't right and obviously I didn't want to disturb her

You're right, the legs are a lot longer. Such a beautiful spider, too.
