Nothing better then a fat bummed sling or t. Hopefully you get a good molt soon and a nice shiney new body to go with it.

Just my Tliltocatl verdezi stretched out on a hammock, taking a little nap. This little guy has looked like a fat grape about to pop for the last three weeks.

I swear this is supposed to be a Grammostola pulchra, but it's looking very, very yellow at the moment.

The Grammostola quirogui, on the other hand, is peeking out after a fresh molt and showing it's first push into adult coloring. No more brown spider!

Neoholothele incei gold looks just as shiny gold as before the molt.

Dennis the a.seemani molted yesterday.
Unfortunately it looks like his molt is still attached at the butt. If he was on the surface I’d try and snip off as close as I could so he wasn’t dragging it at least, but he’s firmly in his burrow.

I’m worried it will snag and tear his abdomen. I hope it twists off eventually as hes moving around, I hope it doesn’t create a wound.

Dennis is finally free! The stuck molt dropped off on its own, I assume from his travelling up and down his tunnels.

In the meantime we had a less stressful molt: Madame Wotsit the OBT.
Who now needs to be re titled as hes definitely a male. Lord Wotsit?? Sir Wotsit?
