Found a molt in my 1.5" G. pulchra enclosure this morning. The T remains aloof, but I could see the tips of its legs at his hide entrance. I fed it two pre-killed small/medium superworms on Thursday (about one per hour) Both were gone, so I assumed it ate them. I will wait a week + before feeding again, just to make sure fangs are strong.

So after a semi moving superworm disappeared yesterday in the enclosure I decided to break protocol and check on unnamed G. pulchra. I gently pulled up hide and…interrupted the spider’s meal. I covered it back up again after checking on the worm. It was still moving.

Last night one of my S crassipies slings molted. This morning one of my T apophysis slings molted. And on Friday night our juvenile G pulchrapies & N coloratovillosus molted.

My Chilobrachys sp. "electric blue" and "vietnam blue" both molted last week within a day of each other. "pumpkin patch" has holed up, expecting a molt at any time. Also believe H. mac and OBT both in pre-molt. Not sure yet about P. irminia (beginning to refuse food)
