Who's molted today

[rapidfire]

Had a mature male H. pulchripes start molting. You can see the hooks on the molt. This doesn’t happen very often and typically the male does not survive the molt.

Very excited to find my biggest girl (b.hamorii) flipped over this morning. I set up a webcam and live streamed it so I could watch while at work lol

Did he survive?
Interesting that he would molt again. Maybe he had an internal injury that triggered the molt?

I thought I'd start a new thread for people to share stories and pictures of their Tarantulas that have recently molted. I woke up to two this morning...View attachment 28565

So I just got a B. Hammori and literally I put the little guy in its enclosure and it molted, I can't completely see but do they not do molt mats?

He did not survive. No injuries that I am aware of. Ive heard of mature males molting but this is the first time I have had experience with it personally.

Sorry to hear about your loss were you planning to breed him with female?

Mine didn’t, but she was on a lot of soft moss.
Usually they do.

He is a lovely boy these guys grow very large, I know many species have mature males at very small size but lasiodora parahybana males get really large very close to size of mature female
