My GBB molted probably about 5 to 7 days ago. It is being very shy though and will not come out to let me see its new duds. I have tried coaxing it out with crickets but it is so damned fast that it reaches out snatches up the cricket and is back in its den so quickly all I see is a blur of legs streaking out and back in. It likes to sit with it's legs peaking out its front door though...

From a flat apparently untouched surface on the top of one of my Sahydroaraneus raja's container, tonight there has been a vast amount of digging and there on top was a moult. When it happened I don't know but judging by the work obviously to enlarge its burrow, I'd say recent. Still no sign of the T though.

I found a lump of rubbish outside my Selenocosmia javanensis, Jakarta's, burrow last night. it was only on close examination that I realised it was the remnants of a moult. Jakarta had been hidden away for the last couple of weeks and has just reappeared tonight. but wasn't hanging around for a photo shoot.

This is what was left for me.
