I went to mist my wifes Psalmopoeus irminia last night & it was on it's back on top of all of it's webbing. This morning I got a very brief glimps of shiney new T as it scurried away from sight.

3 shown are (smallest to largest) Lp ,A Genic (first sexable moult and it’s female :)) T Stirmi (99% sure male but moult was torn badly)

Another Lp moulted along with a C Olivaceum and a P El Salvador that’s currently flipped so fingers crossed

My Caribena Laeta molted today. Sorry not the best quality picture as i am using my phone and she webbed the **** out of her enclosure lol She was moving around her enclosure for a bit and she looks great.

Really happy with this one. Some of you may or may not remember that I nearly lost this T several months ago due to poor husbandry. Thanks to the wonderful people on this forum I was given advice which gave her a second chance. She is doing great now and has been webbing and eating like a champ :)

How do you find out if a OBT has molted? I am almost positive there is a molt within the webbing, but I am not keen on destroying the webbing to see. Plus I do not want to upset them, by poking about in there, partly because, they are not called OBT's for nothing. And partly because I hate destroying all of that hard work & possibly disturbing them close to a molt. Also that webbing is strong & I am not sure I will be able to remove a delicate molt from it, or not easily.
