Marley's molt pic. My son tried others but it was too dark and he didn't want to disturb the T any more.

Just wanted to share this with you... How random molting can be... It always surprises me...

Brachypelma smithi adult female: took two years for one molt, and less than one year for the next one!
Chilobrachys sp. south vietnam blue: when maturing male, he took almost four months before eating after his molt!
Davus pentaloris: stopped eating for nine full months (and stayed hidden in her hole doing nothing at all) before molting at last... and she's still a juvie!
Ephebopus murinus adult female: stopped eating... five days before molting!
Grammostola rosea, still juvie: no molt since two years... and in between, she ate then stopped eating then ate again, then stopped again... and so on!

... on the theme: "How to drive a keeper crazy with just a question of skin"!!!

I'd been watching Jazz, my Avicularia versicolor, all day as I thought it was about to moult but I still missed it, by the time I did my final T check last night it was all done.

Missingno also molted but his molt and he are buried in the burrow and I can't get a pic yet.

You can't leave the kids home alone or they throw a party... a molt party :D

Caught Redrum on her back, figures she'd be the tramp at the party.
