My Poecilotheria strirata female moulted but haven’t been able to get the moult out of her cork bark tube yet.

My Theraphosa stirmi sling is mid moult just now, but he has been since last night and I’m starting to worry it won’t be a successful moult.

Keep us posted on the stirmi. I don't have one yet, but I want one and I'm trying to learn everything I can about them before I get one. Very sorry to hear that there is a problem, but still hoping to learn from your observations.

Just discovered my Tapinauchenius violaceus, Kutari, in the process of moulting.

The big one is my female G. iheringi. The little one is the I. mira that I was worried about:

My daughter's little G. pulchripes molted too, but I didn't get a pic…

I can't get the molt out, but my Orphnauecus phillippinus finally molted too. You can see the molt in the picture, but the real surprise was how colorful she is. She was a little brownish when I got her, but look how bright orange she is now:

All the little G. pulchra are starting their molt cycle again. Got a few here and a few more are imminent. My larger female GBB also molted. She ws sitting kind of funny in her little web lair yesterday and I was a little worried about her. I'm still getting used to the habits and mannerisms of all these new species. It really fun watching the little OBT, I. mira and H. pulchripes do hyper speed laps around the enclosure and diving into their hide every time I touch the lid to open it and feed or water them! :)

After I took the above pic, I found my little A. purpurea had molted too:

And this is where I put all the molts after I take a pic:
