Found last night the Pcam has also molted recently, his fangs are reddish turning black so it hasn't been too long. He's probably 2-2.25" now. Found this by rehousing him for a mold issue on the bottom of the cork bark in the substrate. Guess I had the water dish too close and the overflowing it every couple weeks was too much.

I'll post pics of his new skin when my son remembers to send them to me ;)

Same with my L.violaceopes,
But least we know that its still.in there lol.
yeah he usually leaves his burrow opening open so the roaches can become room service. I rarely see him though, he's probably only 3/4" now maybe an inch, after this molt.

Been 3 months since we got Our a. Chalcodes. 3.5 inch specimen female. Still no signs of premolt. How long can it take between no its at this size. I know they grow very slowly.

you got yours just after I did if i recall correctly. Ours just molted maybe 3 weeks ago or so. Depends on feeding schedule, ambient temp/humidity, etc.

Peanut, my Stromatopelma calceatum, moulted today. No photos yet as it's gone back into hiding but I'm rehousing it next week so I'll get pics then.

Flash my GBB molted yesterday. He's hidden under his leaf and won't let me take a pic but I was able to get his molt out. To small still to do anything with.

My G Porter has moulted twice since we got him as a WC sub adult and I've been fortunate enough to watch both. First time he flip on his back and pushed the old exo off of himself, the 2nd time he moulted standing up, pushed himself out the top then flipped on his back and rested for over an hour before turning back on all eights. Definitely something to see before you die, totally facinating. The pre - moults are also different each time. First time he stopped eating for about six weeks before moulting, 2nd time he didn't eat for 10 months!! But have been told this is not unusual far a Rosie.

Awwwwww! Nestled in her little leaf hammock,
Grats, loving this shot. ;)

Yes, it's the first time this one's webbed. It thinks it's arboreal though, spending most of it's time at the very top of the leaves.
