I think my I. mira could've potentially molted over the last week, but I don't see it very often, but I thought I saw pieces of a molt laying around in its enclosure.

P. tigrinawesseli was doing its molt hammock around 22 / 10 pm yesterday evening.
At too-early-o'clock I got up to get some water and caught the T in mid molt. Seems to be ok, stretching those almost glass-like legs

Sadly yesterday my Psalmopoeus pulcher, Pacora, moulted in its webbing, clambered out, walked over to its water bowl then curled up and died at the side of it.

A couple of Ts that I haven't seen for a while have moulted at some time over the last week. They both hide away and so I decided to pull their containers out to check on them so hopefully they may start to show themselves more.

Psalmopoeus ecclesisticus. Tulcan, was at least visible from the back of its terrarium. The moult is just visible in the web at the bottom.

I have a little bitty one of these. I love him. I can't wait until he gets to be the size of yours. Love the fuzzy legs.

Can't wait to see that!!! Do you know the sex yet???

I'm planning to rehouse in a couple of weeks so there should be some pics then. I might have ago at soaking the moult to see if I can sex it.but I usually manage to make a mess of them.

Can you send it to someone in the forum on your side of the pond? I'd do it for you but it might be spendy for shipping.
