A lot of them do. Might be several days.

Thank you! Im almost sure it was molted when looking into the dram i can see the book lungs of the molt. But they arent in the same direction as the T is position. I hope everything went well and it pops up fresher and bigger

My Ceratogyrus darlingi, Saan, has moulted today only 4 days after its arrival and I think maybe my Orphnaecus sp Blue Panay, Taal, has moulted too although all it's thrown out so far is the carapace.

my G. pulchripes hasn't left her burrow in about 4 months. I took her hide out a few weeks ago to check on her, glad i did cause she had molted as was super thin. She's eating like my genic now

And my son's G. pulchra decided to molt on us last night while in his burrow.

I hope the little suntiger sling isnt burrowed for months. I want to check on it but i dont wnt to harm it digging it out at the same time.

My B. emilia molted last night. I'll have to get a pic of her new clothes tomorrow. All the pics I tried tonight were to dark or the flash ruined them.

I had 2 moults yesterday but I've not seen either of the Ts yet. Holothele sanguiniceps, Arima, and Omothymus schioedtei, Lapan, both just threw their old exos out of their burrows

Found one of my g.pulchras had molted this morning [emoji3]

My wee tiny GBB~Mochima molted as did my Monocentropus balfouri ~Tazith and Augacephalus ezendami~Shuqara.

Fingers crossed guys and gals that I don't lose these like I did Kalipso.

P irminia babies in my personal experience seem to like to stay hidden, I catch glimpses of mine :/ They are growing like bad weeds though

look at the dram at its in the substrate somewhere. Im new to Ts its a bit concerning something may be wrong. But hearing you have similar issues with this species has me a little more reinsured. Thank you for your post @Kymura

My G. Pulchripes, Chi-Chi, may be molting soon. Her abdomen is pitch black now, and she's shoveling dirt out around the mouth of her hide and laying down webbing inside. Usually she just sits out in the open, so the change has been noted. Though.....when I fill the water dish and some drops hit the webbed eco earth she comes running fangs ready, but last time she ate a cricket the day before she molted.

my pulchripes does the same thing. Or used to, she stayed buried in her burrow when premolt started this past molt, so i didn't get to see her attack the water splatter. Most of my Ts will attack and kill the prey during premolt, and leave it for dead warning the other bugs to stay away. A few will just slap it so it runs away, easy way to tell when they're starting premolt My LP does the kill and leave it dead, he doesn't darken up like my Brachy's.

I saw that my Nhandu tripepii (~1") was flipped onto a molting mat this AM...can't wait to get back from work later to see how much bigger and hairier it is post molt. Funny too...it ate on Sunday. I don't believe I've ever seen this one refuse a meal. Do some species not have a pre-molt fasting period?

I think that they all do but varies with age and species.

One of my t.stirmi slings molted today [emoji3]

Chum, my LP got caught molting.

 

[Enn49]

My teeniest Nhandu chromatus, Tupi, has moulted at some point in the last few days, I spotted the old exo right at the bottom of the vial a couple of days ago but it's still down there.

Then last night I spotted what appeared to be a bit of leg in the web in my Lampropelma sp. Borneo Black, Sable's container so I turned the whole terrarium round to find her looking great and she'd rolled her exo into a ball.

Please excuse her poo on the glass


This is her exo

Heres my phormictopus sp green having its first post molt meal.
