Hoping you experienced keepers can help me figure out if my P. Irminia is male or female. It molted last night and here’s the best pic I could get. Please tell me what you think.

Grammostola acteon. I had no idea she was going to molt. I gave her a dubia roach. I checked the next morning and she had built a molt mat over the roach. She was on her back so I didn't dare try to take it out. The roach is still webbed down! I want to take credit for documenting a tarantula using its web to capture prey for the first time, but I know it was an accident. I'll have to find fame another way.

Two molts last night.

First a tiny B emilia. A known male.

The second is one of our T blondi's. A known female & I thought she was dead last night. She was on her back & showing no signs of movement. But this morning, she looks wonderful.
We brought 3 T blondi slings in the hope of getting a female. All three are confirmed females!

Chilobrachys Kaeng Kraken! Her past two molts were 6 and a quarter DLS. Molt was already dried badly and she took hold of it when trying to remove so couldn't get a measurement. But she be a good sized gal now!! Love Chilobrachys and she is my fave!

Chilobrachys Cat Tien. She has been molted now a week and is still very dark compared to previous molts! By now she is usually a lot lighter shade of blue but she's so dark now that she is almost black! Still gorgeous!

Phormictipus Dominican Purple! Absolutely beautiful! Since coming into possession of 2 Auratus and this one I've found these guys can be truly nutty Spoods. Feeding time is always wonderful! True slam bangers indeed! Lol. Happy Spoodering good folks!

Xenesthis Intermedia. Been molted a minute. Meant to grab the molt after I feed her/him so I might not get kicked at but alas forgot! If it we're a X. sp. Blue I wouldn't have fed. They would get worse about kicking after getting fed. Either way they get my kicking champions award hands down. No other new worlder in my collection is remotely close! Not any!!!! Love em still.

One molt, when we fed yesterday afternoon & one T on it's back. Both were Theraphosa blondi, both are previously confirmed female & both are from the same batch of three, that we brought as slings hoping to get at least one female. The third blondi from that 3, is, also a female & she molted about a month ago.

Hey All!
I need your help. My T. Stirmi molted last night and I noticed this morning her molt was still attached to her fangs. I tried to see if I could gently pull it but it’s really on there. So, all I know to do is spray the enclosure, and I misted her a little and she went to her water bowl I guess to try and soak it. Can anyone give me advice on how to handle/help her situation?
