Who's molted today

OBT molted at some point. I'm not sure when, because it's been tucked away behind dirt curtains, but it pushed its molt towards one of the entrances. Hopefully it'll push it out into the open so that I can retrieve it. The photo doesn't do the bright orange color any justice.

The weather must be warming up.

Both of our Nhandu carapoensis. One a sling, one a juvi, molted over last night.
And now this evening I find our Omothymus violaceopes has also molted & is in need of rehousing.

There's definitely something in the air.

???? This was sold to me as a Grammostola pulchra. It's not. It's definitely an old world. It's possibly a Chilobrachys huahini. It's a cool little guy that's webbed the living crap out of its enclosure, whatever it is.

Is this classed as a molt or a shed? :D

Just noticed Mr Noodle, my childrens python has had his first shed with me. Came off in a single piece.

I'd call it a shed. I wish your Childrens Python would teach my Royal how to do it in one I've never had a complete shed from him in the 7 years I've had him.

I suspected he was due a shed, but didn't even see him in blue.
I have a humid hide in his enclosure, not sure if that helped. He shed inside his cave which surprised me, I assumed it would be outside where he could rub against something.

My Royal has always shed in his hide until his last one but even that was shredded.
