First my Chaetopelma olivaceum molted overnight. Then as we fed, I found a molt in my Linothele sericata & then I opened an enclosure to find one of my Theraphosa blondi laying beside a fresh molt.

And best of all. The blondi was labelled as a male, but now has a nice new pink sticker on the enclosure as it is 100% female.

Two for me. My Grammastola Iheringi has just righted herself. She was a rescue and was in uncertain shape when i got her and I am delighted to see her succesfully freshly moulted. And my Boehmei has just settled onto it’s back.

Just after feeding this week, we found a young female Grammastola pulchripies on it's back with a fresh molt beside her. So a very quick molt. And sadly she had ruptured herself molting. Not having any cornflour to hand, we used self raising flour, as we did not want to use superglue, as the rupture was close to her mouth. She remained on her back & motionless, overnight & in the morning was the right way up, but motionless & in a stress position. It has taken a day or two. But this is how I found her this morning. She is now moving around the enclosure. :)

Harpactira Cafreriana freshly molted. Most likely female. Got 2 slings and one already hooked out! Dimorphism between my 2 slings noted from the git go! The male is far more shiney like a brand new Penney and she is a bit darker copper color!

Sling King Baboon! Molt is probably shredded down in burrows. My mature male shredded all his. Found only bits during rehousing! Love this little one! Entirely too big of an enclosure and almost re-housed. So glad I didn't! Old boy has burrows throughout the thing and is a ferocious hunter. Mitigated the bad about oversized enclosures and slings!

Loving all the moults. i’ve been a bit pre-occupied moving and moving the Tarantulas! It took five trips in the end but I left them all in their existing enclosures. They’ve been settling in and so far so good. Two have moulted. Yesterday Dolicothele Diamentis sling and today Citharocanthus Cyaneus, young female.

Leaving your spoods in their homes had to have made the move a lot easier on them . Know you glad that's done...lol!
