Grammostola pulchra finally molted today. 2 inches in length, last molt was exactly 5 months ago, and the thing hadn't eaten for two months. I almost can't believe it actually happened. While watching the pulchra molt, I saw my Hapalopus sp. Columbia was laying down a molt mat. Exciting stuff!

Man oh man do I love summer! I think I'm three of the last four posts on this thread. Anyway my P. rufilata molted while I was out today, and this girl is looking big, leggy and even more beautiful than before. She may now be my biggest spider (4+ inches). This makes five molts in the last three weeks. Now if the little babies would start flipping over I'll jump out of my socks!

Tella the B. albo sling molted! Almost a month to the day since his/her last molt! Super excited, now just gotta wait for him/her to harden up and start showing itself!

Also, I'm absolutely no expert with Avics, but I'm pretty positive my A. avic has made a web hammock (s)he is laying in, possibly a moulting hammock?

My turn again! :D

Chum my LP molted last night. He Newberry gives me any visual clues, like the dark abdomen and what not. Just stoops rating for about 2 weeks then molts.

My LP won the moult race, but casually webbing a mat and moulting yesterday without bothering too much about premolt lol.
Obviously still a baby/juvie, but I think I can see a hint of a flap on the skin:

B. albo. The new molt is missing the abdomen, just to show how much (s)he grew. Molted pretty much a month to the day of the first molt too [emoji2]

Hapalopus sp Colombia large molted in the last couple days. Assuming last night as she was out and about yesterday but there is a fresh exo in her cave.

G. pulchripes molted while I was at work tonight. She actually grew a lot more than I thought she would too, almost an inch now. Neat.
that's the same size as mine. Bling just started to show the stripes on her legs after her last molt :) i love seeing them grow into their colors.
