Gratz on the multiple molt.
Hope Trip is okay.

Thank you. She's straightened her legs up but it's difficult to see her properly as she's under the plant and she's taken her old exo with her. Luckily she landed on just coco fibre.


Nhandu chromatus Ghoul, and Pcam Enigma molted.
Ghoul is getting color :) (finally)

I swear they do that on purpose just to stress us. - taps on the glass- whispers to neighbor 'psst, watch the keeper freak Out!'

I think you're right there. The laugh was I'd told her not to moult there in case she slipped off the end, did she listen, no, and she slipped off the end. She should have listened to mum :)

Zeb, my A. seemanni molted yesterday. His stripes are really starting to show now.

Reduced the substrate in my B. albo Moe enclosure so he'll be seen more. First look at his new clothes after his molt a couple weeks back.

@Kymura The good news is that Trip is now sitting up the glass at the side of her container but the bad new is that she has lost a leg and maybe part of another although I can't see properly and I don't want to disturb her too much. Apologies for the bad reflection.

Oh no :( well, long as it's just a leg though, if she's out and about already assuming she must have cast it and everything else is OK. Fingers and toes crossed for her. She's such a beauty.

She did look a bit twisted when she first appeared but she's straighten up now and seems normal except for the missing leg and looking as beautiful as ever.

@Kymura She's out and about, spending most of her time up the glass on the side where she normally spends her day which I'm taking as a good sign although she seems to keep one foot off the glass but I just can't see why. Her colour is gorgeous, I'll try to get a decent photo asap.

That's what I have to look forward to!? Butt shots and sexy legs?!
lol grats hun!
only when the camera comes out ;) that web mat he's running off of is on top of the fake leaves, he spends most of his time sitting up there so he's out in view constantly until I take the lid off the enclosure.

Chum, my LP, molted this afternoon. His leg bands are showing now.

In going to say Roj, my B. sabulosum, molted Tuesday. She's out of her burrow tonight and quite thin. Pounced on a roach like my jumping spider lol

That R3 leg looks bent funny. Wonder if it's just the way she's sitting or if she had issues with her molt. In going to redo her substrate this weekend and give her a hide so she won't burrow all the time.

My little Phlogiellus sp. Koh Samui, Ta Nim, has moulted. I'm not sure when but it had pushed the old exo out of its web/burrow.

Another moult yesterday from my little Chilobrachys sp. Blue Vietnam, Han. Exo is at the bottom of the container while Han is just showing legs to the right of the leaf.
