T Molting Support Group for Noobs*

Just looked at the photos I took (not the best, didn't have my good camera handy) and I think she doesn't look too thin, just typically arboreal post molt skinny, like my T. Gigas

I over worry about my avics too. I just got so used to the little terrestrial fatties. she looks fine to me ^*^.

Monocentropus balfouri molted yesterday. He hadn't eaten since I brought him home, so I just assumed that he was still settling in from the car ride. I never assumed pre-molt so this was a very pleasant surprise!

Awesome, grats ^^

Just came in from outside to find my versi had way to many legs 0.0
Appears to have molted successfully,

Zelda, my b. Albopilosum just molted!! I came home tonight to her being flipped on her back inside of her burrow (she left an opening in the entrance).

I had rehoused her into a more 'stable' enclosure a couple days prior... Just in time *phew*. I'm a beginner with tarantulas and apparently I didn't choose the right substrate. (Also this is her first mold since I've had her) She always walked arround with dirt hanging in her hairs and her burrow was close to collapsing due to the weak substrate, even the webbing she did didn't help much to hold up the structure. I want to hit myself for this.

I still can't really see how she has progressed but it seems she's out of her old exo and recovering. I won't disturb her and she will show herself when she's ready I guess.

I discovered last night that my Orphnaecus sp Blue Panay, Taal, had moulted at some point. I've not seen it for just over 2 months as it lives in a maze of tunnels and web but it had pushed the exo to the surface in 2 bits.

My tiny little B. Emilia just molted. Still that kind of opaque zombie flesh color.

G.pulchripes molted late last evening.looks like it has quite a bit of banding at the leg joints. Can't wait to see it out of the hide.

My blue fang molted sometime recently. I only know because the old exo was pushed out but I've seen some feet that seem to have hardened up pretty well

Our B smithi spun what looks like a molt mat. Looks like it will be molting out in the open for the first time as a 4/5 inch sling. Hopefully I can catch it before i go to be or when I wake up.

Caught him/her in the act

My A. Sp. Amazonica has moulted again. Can't wait to see it properly.

 

[Zurchiboy]

The finished result. It is much bigger now and full of energy.

 

[kormath]

congrats! Does it have a hide? doesn't like he has enough sub if he wanted to burrow.

Got home from work to find my G. pulchripes molted, or brought a date home while the parents were out. You can just make out the extra legs in front of him.

Just found that Thug, my B. albiceps, also molted today. He's hiding in his burrow or thinks he is and left his molt out front like taking out the trash.

He's probably a good inch now.

congrats! Does it have a hide? doesn't like he has enough sub if he wanted to burrow.

It maybe getting close to being Rehoused. Gonna have to prep another block of ecoearth.

My B. albo, Moe, looks like he's ready to molt anytime. Super dark shiny abdomen and had started a mat at his burrow.
