Who's molted today

[Phil]

Woohooo . Finally, after having owned an Pterinochilus murinus Usambara for 4 and a half years (1st a juvi - adult and then a sling) I have just got my 1st ever complete moult from Tanga, my sling. They have always decorated their burrows with them and just pushed out the raggy bits with their rubbish but tonight Tanga left the moult right on top of its web tunnel.

Both our B vagans and GBB molted this weekend

The GBB just finished

I cant access this forum from Tapatalk anymore for some reason, can't post pics off my phone easily

FWIW
Since this most recent molt the GBB has been flicking hairs whenever the enclosure is handled. This is the first sling/spider of our I've ever seen flick hairs.

I don't know how you keep up with them all. So what is T. gigas now?

My Goliath molted within the last couple days. I was sold a female but I'm not good with sexing. Looks like might be female.

That's a girl...

Yesterday, after 77 god damn days, the smallest of my current bunch decided to molt - So here we have a fresh Brachypelma auratum in its sling vial

My C versicolor Charles, a suspect male, just molted and looks much more mature in coloration. Just when you get used to how awesome these guys are, they change again and take your breath away.

The other nice thing is that these guys aren't crazy and make a great first arboreal tarantula.

Opinions vary, but many feel that these are the the second most beautiful tarantula on Earth, with P metallica being the first.

You just gotta get one.

Enjoy the pics.

Avic blue velvet, Avic sp. Isla Margarita, Avic sp Peru purple and T. Blondi are a few highlights from about 16 moults today....

One of my Nicaraguan B. albopilosum slings molted for the second time in my care. They both are really starting to show their adult coloration.

My Pseudhapalopus sp. Blue, Neiva, has moulted today.
