Yesterday was a busy molt day.
GBB, large sling.
N chromatus. Juvi.
C huahini. large sling.

And my H chilensis, which still looked tiny, when it molted about 2 weeks ago. Now looks a lot bigger & more colourful & clearly now needs rehoming. Preferably to something I can take the lid off, without it going walkabout from.

Spoke to a friend today. She also had a bunch of molts last week, and her Brachypelma Amelia this morning. Is there something in the air? Or is it just that it's summer?

There was a twofer for me today. Came home about 4 pm to find my G. pulchripes in the last stages of her molt. A few hours later I checked on my G. pulchra (one of Casey K's) in her dark cave (exposed to one side of the enclosure) and I saw a molt).

Oh, it seems like pulchripes is trying to drag molt into her webbed up cave. Not sure. But if so, should I stop her or eventually will she bring it out. This is actually the first above ground molt I have seen.

Some Ts like to decorate their hides with bits off their moults. She will probably throw out what she doesn't want in a few weeks.

Thanks Enn49, but once again I jumped the gun. She was just reminiscing with it briefly before walking away from it. Or maybe I jumped the gun again and took away her decorations too early. Lol.

It is summer. This was what happened over a couple of weeks last summer.
