T Molting Support Group for Noobs*

I'm hoping this one really is a rosea but not too worried. Our MM male was a character and it looks like this little one is too, no fear and comes to see what's going on when I open the container.

Mine turned out to be a rosea. After the last molt she has a distinct red tint to her.

Chum the L.p. molted finally. You can see his pale new body just under the molt. So I'm guessing it was fairly recent.

Kinda blurry but it was the best focus I could get on the little guy. Wouldn't focus at all without the flash and I didn't want to disturb him more than I already was by trying for a better pic

Got home from work tonight and saw the B. vagans had fresh tailings in his enclosure from more digging. As i looked closer to see if there was an opening i saw a leg, then another, then most of his shed exo. Looks like he molted recently and pushed it out. Now the few days of waiting until he unblocks his burrow to feed

sneaky vagans, love how busy they are though ^^

He's my favorite of the pet dirt boxes

One of my OBT slings moulted yesterday. When I got the sling it only had 5 legs. It moulted on Christmas eve and 2 legs had grown back, albeit only half-sized legs. After this moult it looks like they're a bit bigger but still not full size. Can't tell whether the 3rd missing leg has grown back yet. Hope so

My B. vagans also molted!

Here's Andie


Getting big for its enclosure so in ten days time, rehouse!


I am hoping to leave its webbing intact.

 

[RedCapTrio]

As I was posting Andie's photos over Photobucket, Tarin, my B. smithi, also molted! It was over by the time I can take a photo. Tarin is the fourth molt for this month.



Was having trouble focusing up close...


Happy T keeping everyone!

I think Tarin was actually waiting for me to water its enclosure before it molted. It has been quite shiny for a few days already. I thought that its sub was very dry so I watered, and then, it molted! Coincedence?

 

[kormath]

Coincedence?

No such thing Congrats on the molts.

Today is feeding day, i got to feed 2 spiders out of 11 lol. My B. boehmei molted somtime between last night and now, can't get the molt out or get a pic yet as you can barely see it in his burrow. Have to wait a few days for him to recover and rehouse as he should now be too big for his current enclosure. I'll post pics then

I have 3 molts this month now i think? i'm catching up the B. vagans, LP, and now the B. boehmei.

And the pics

Kinda hard to see that one. I couldn't get a good shot with the reflecting screwing with the focus.

Here's the freshly molted versi

Unfortunatelythe first molt was destroyed. Couple leg pieces stuck in the web and the torso portion whatever is called was spilt in half. I'm guessing that was when he was removing the legs to decorate the web

 

[Kymura]

My baby avic molted sometime today unexpectedly silly thing ate yesterday....

 

[Adraps11]

These two photos are of the same spider, only after the molt I get a gun metal black A. Hentzi/Anax/whatever. I thought it would be of a darker color, but nothing this extreme. I'm liking the new colors. I don't think this is a texas brown T though. I was told it was wild caught with a bunch of easily distinguishable A. Hentzi, sub adults. This was one of the smaller spiders in the group. Maybe Ken the Bug guy got a younger anax mixed in the group?

 

[RedCapTrio]

Chaquatro also molted today, now waiting for twin Treschac to also molt.

 

[Enn49]

My Nhandu chromatus, Zingu, moulted yesterday

@Adraps11 your first image didnt load

@Adraps11 your first image didnt load

The first image is of a typical all brown spider. I've watched youtube videos of two guys that go out to find Hentzi in their natural habitats, and quite often there was a blonde/ all brown phase molt next to the Ts burrow. The tarantula that emerged had black or coffee legs and a bronze or tan carapace. I measured the legspan of my T and it sits at or near 4 inches, yet lacks the bulk seen in the sub adults and adults of hentzi. It is female, but if It's anax it has some growing to do. Here is another image of the current morph. I'll bother Rick west or Chris Hamilton soon enough. It is a beautiful Female! you can't deny that!

I just caught up with you, you can't have more molts yet

Congrats though my genic is looking like he'll molt any day now, and i'm waiting on my boxes of dirt to produce a shed exo.
