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.

Same I just noticed the little bands showing this morning when I checked. I really wasn't expecting that but it was a great surprise!

I had 2 moults yesterday. First was my tiny Psalmopoeus irminia, Sierra, and then my Phlogiellus sp. baeri, Data.

Thank you. She's more colourful than I expected her to be.

This could be the molt that changes my life!!! I noticed my little A. diversipes on it's back a short while ago, but was a little weary since the little fella likes to fake me out and hang from the top of his enclosure with his butt low to his leaves. So what's the best way to kill a few minutes without being compelled to check ever 45 seconds? Beer run, of course. So as soon as I get to the beer store I get a text from my mom asking to buy her mega millions tickets, which they sell at the beer store. So I get home and sure enough the litte guy is molting. So now I'm rooting for him to molt with no issues, and for him to win me 500 million bucks. If it wasn't for this little guy I wouldn't have gone out today, so he's my talisman of lottery luck!

 

[kormath]

you know it was my telepathy that made him molt that made you go get the tickets and beer, right? so i think that should be split, i'll be nice and only ask for 30%

 

[Enn49]

@timc My A. versi does exactly the same but I hope it was a winning ticket

 

[timc]

If I win everyone on this forum gets a beer and an A. diversipes on me!

Glamor my little P irminia finally caught up
Sorry for quality was through her Web cave.

My LP flipped about thirty minutes ago. Poor little fat baby.

Maybe this time I'll see some real growth.
Starting to look girly to me. Cross fingers for me guys and gals.

Came home from work to see my B. emilia cleaning herself after finally molting. It looks like she literally grew 0 but hey a molt is a molt!

 

[Enn49]

I should have had 2 moults yesterday but sadly my little Cyriocosmus bertae, Inca, got itself into a very tight corner to moult and by the time I spotted it, it was already too late to help it.

On the other hand Kutari, my Tapinauchenius violaceus, had already enlarged its hidey hole and moulted without any problems. Sorry about the poor photo but there is so much web down there it was the best I could do

 

[syzygy]

Sorry to hear that! One of my N. tripepii's did something similar a few weeks ago.

 

[Kymura]

Oh damn....so sorry Enn.

 

[Enn49]

@syzygy and @Kymura Thank you both. I thought it was the moult at first but then I couldn't find Inca anywhere, it hadn't burrowed since I rehoused it last. It was only when I got it out that I realised it was in fact Inca.

It's so incredibly frustrating that we can do everything we know how to do, to insure good housing for these guys and then lose them to something like this. Wish there was better research about how to help them rather then just Taxonomy :/

A succssful moult today. One of my Nhandu chromatus, Luzia, shed its old skin.

 

[kormath]

Moe my B. albo molted. Found his molt pushed to the top of his burrow pile for disposal.

Then Thug was also being helpful and put his molt on the water dish. He molted last night.

My little Brachypelma emilia, Chiquito, has mouled today only it's not so little any more . The old exo is to the right of the water bowl under the leaf.

I see they don't lose that black circle on their butt do they. and here i was thinking it was a sign of premolt She's getting her red legs! mine has a few more molts to do that yet.
