She's still on her back hoping for the best though. She's out of the main bit. And it looks like she's a she. Old molt was almost 6" doubt she grew much that's full size already.

Doing my evening checks. Peeked in at Zombie found her at the end of her molt.
She looks a little rough. But she finally has some hair from the brief glance I took of her.

She should be close to 4.5" now. Hopefully she had an attitude change with the molt lol.

And she did it! Old girl has life left in her :)
Now (finally)
I can rehouse her and change out her sub once she hardens ^*^

Could pretty much take a month for a T this size to harden. Funny how leggy they are after the molt and how helpless they look when trying to move around during the couple of weeks postmolt.

I could not wait for my smithi to molt again, pretty much in premolt for almost 6 weeks now. Have stopped eating 2nd week of March and getting darker by the day. :cool:

Yeah, Karma webbed the corner and I put her dish closer to her. She lounges, stretches then does a little spider yoga. She's grooming and pretty though, actually saw her drink once, so it's all good ;)

Our smithi is showing signs of premolt again. Molted 2 months ago. Find it strange was averaging a molt every 3-4 months. Temps stayed the same.

I've just had my A. Versicolor emerge after months of hiding. She looks very skinny and her fangs are black, so if she moulted it must have been a while ago. At least I hope she moulted and is not ill. She had a poop and a drink, so surely that must be a good sign?

Sounds like it. My pcam puts its molts into its web curtain. In pieces. Give her a nice feed and see how it goes :)
