Another 2 today.
Spencer the T.blondi and The Stirminator the T.stirmi have synchronised their molts.

Ungoliant the T.apophysis hasn’t been seen for a short while, so I assume she’s following suit

My Grammostola pulchra also motled. It's a beautiful solid black.

How did you get big picture. Nice.

I'm using an iPhone 13. The main camera is very, very nice, but if you move too close to whatever you're trying to take a picture of, it switches to a different lens that I think is supposed to be better for close up shots, but the color drops out and it looks kind of muted and blah. Technical terms, of course. I tend to get the phone as close as I'm able to to see where the phone switches from the main lens to the close lens, and then back it up until the point where it switches back to the main lens. I take three or four pictures and try to keep a good light source. Then I'll edit the picture in the photo app to crop out all the excess stuff that I don't need, which sort of zooms in a bit. The camera is really nice and keeps a lot of detail when cropping. I'm sure there are more technical terms and details for the focal length and ISO and whatever. I just take a ton of pictures and try to pick the one that I think looks nicest after messing around with it.

Saw Spinarak the p.rufilata laying a suspected web mat a couple of days ago, thought I’d check up on him. Yep! Molted!
Don’t think I’m getting his old suit in a hurry thou

And today I spent way too many hours to admit to watching my A hentzi molt. So awesome! Was silently cheering him/her on. Can't wait to snag the molt

 

[x_raphael_xx]

Spotted a couple of molts in the balfouri communal.
No idea when they molted, I rarely see them.
They are starting to look like little balfouri’s now!

 

[Nurse Ratchet]

Got my hands on my hentzi's molt from yesterday - its a girl
(please correct me if Im wrong)

 

[x_raphael_xx]

I think it looks like a female one tip I saw this week was to shine a light behind the molt, like a light box or something.
The spermathecae become a lot more obvious

Thanks @x_raphael_xx . I've started using my catch-cups as sexing work stations so I can use flashlight
Moment of panic when I wondered "wait, where are the book lungs!?"
My molt was upsidedown. Still a female
Here's right side up
