Our B vagans molted last night in about 2-3 hours. Second time since we've owned it

Guarani
, my not so little Grammostola pulchripes has moulted today. You can just see a butt and a couple of legs immediately to the left of the water bowl.

Another 2 moults today. 1st was the Cyriopagopus sp Hati Hati, Sula, who is still in hiding and then this evening my Pterinopelma sazimai, Amapa has moulted.

Pterinopelma sazimai, Amapa. That water bowl was full last night, can't keep up with them during this heatwave.

The curiosity is killing me. What is the daily high temp there during your heat wave?

Nowhere near what many other members on here are used to but unbearably hot for us. The highest we've had in the north was 82.4F (28C) but in the house my living room has been between 81-83F daily with a fan going. Remember we don't have aircon in our homes.

We are having a heat wave too. It reached 44C here today, but now that the sun is down its only 34C at 9:00 pm.

Top left: My Orphnaecus philippinus decided to push its last molt out of the burrow. And look how pretty:

Bottom row is all G. pulchra. This completes the third molt for all of them since I got them from @Casey K. just a short while ago. This pic shows their size now in relation to a bottle cap:

I'm not sure my male P striata molted today, but I found out about it before going to work & took a few pics.

The web was horrific and had to go. As always, he was perfectly well behaved. The water dish also got a good 5 minutes scrubbing. I got him well after my C versicolor but he's surpassed my Versicolor easily in terms of size. There's incredible size increases with each molt.
