She started moving about 8 hours after I discovered she had flipped, another 30 mins to get out.

The final push, because I definitely wasn't sitting their watching her finish. Decided it was safe for me to initiate my own bedtime sequence so I hopped in the shower.

Goodnight, sweet gir-- what the?? Because why wouldn't she preen all her legs at once and give the illusion of a death curl. I barely slept lolol

She finally righted sometime between 3-4am. I just wanted to see her new look before leaving for my 24 hour shift but she wants to remind me to be grateful she is alive...after making me get real close to do a toe count (still not a death curl 🤣)

She's so pretty it hurts

I have had a few moulted over the past couple of days , I have been unwell so playing catch up 😆

Chilobrachys fimbratus Asterope no pic of the t we are deep in the burrow but left one chewed up moult outside the door . 1 inch dls on the moult.
Chilobrachys dyscolus blue Taygete same as above t burrowed moult at the door and 1inch dls on the moult. I must say I am loving that all my Chilobrachys slings bring there moults out for me very thoughtful 😊.
Nut my Brachypelma albiceps sam moulted boy is getting big and so handsome 4 inches dls on his moult n everything where it should be. 20240413_151352.jpg
Don't worry he has a glass waterdish out of view the bottle cap he likes to play with so I left it in for him to do so 😊 He likes to carry it round the viv 🤷🏻‍♀️

Last my tiny but mighty Greta Garbo, Cyriocosmus sp oronegro moulted . I am not sure when as we have been in our burrow for 2 weeks but we went in about 1mm n white and are now about half cm n dark gray. So cute n tiny though I really look forward to growing this hopefully girl up . 20240413_193406.jpg 20240413_193652.jpg
Pics for size reference that is a sling vile, the tiny ones t's travel in we are that small 😊

Well done little ones 👏

Dani Calafornia moulted 😁 Sericopelma santa catalina saf looks like everything went well and for the first time ever she put her moult out for me . 5.6inch dls on the moult and my word she looks fabulous, I couldn't help it and peeked through her burrow window 😆 20240414_114834.jpg
Lady bits for reference.

My tiniest T is the tiniest no longer! 0.0.1 Aphonopelma hentzi "Tex" has finally outgrown their dram vial and moved into their first proper enclosure. 20240414_094449.jpg Picture's not the greatest, I guess their next milestone will be getting big enough for my phone camera to actually focus on them :lol:

Just one yesterday Ginger my teeny avicularia minatrix sling moulted . Ginger looks great although it would be much easier to get a pic if they didn't insist on shooting right infront of where they sit 😒 20240415_120855.jpg
Well done my little Ginger Ninja 👏

Looks like she put on a good bit of size, too, as usual.

Last night it was Seraphina's turn to moult. Homoeomma chilensis 1 of 2 sac mates. Looks like everything went great, been waiting for this little one to moult for months was hoping to get the moult this time but that's a leg sticking out of the chilicera so don't think am getting it this time either 😆 Gunna guess at 1inch dls now. 20240417_051522.jpg
So cute n eventually got her (🤞) flame on too 😊
Well done Seraphina 👏

Fluffy, my B. boehmei AF is on her back right now. Found her like this as I woke up about half an hour ago. Ought to go well. Since it's my day off, perhaps I'll have the chance to witness the full molting procedure :)

By 4 - 4:30 PM, she was completely out. She's still on her back, cleaning herself. I guess I can chalk it up to another successful molt. Way to go, girl ! She'll totally tackle her crickets in a month's time. Time to let her rest and recover :)

OH MY GOD MY BONNETINA MINAX IS FINALLY MOLTING (received it in Aug 23 just under 1", it's never molted) Even my 3" B Emilia has twice in that time
PXL_20240419_042954444.jpg

UNBELIEVABLE SO DID JORGE (Aphonopelma hentzi) Are we an inch yet or what?? Container is 2" I think. Pretty sure we just celebrated one year together, he's doubled in size 🤣 He's so dark and handsome
PXL_20240418_153154180.jpg

BUT WAIT THERES MORE Definitely the fastest growing Aphonopelma sling I've had so far, 2nd molt since 10/23. I'm going to guess 0.75"
PXL_20240418_153142655.jpg

THIS CANT BE REAL my Ephebopus uatuman definitely doubled. It had to do a double take. Basically from the mouth parts to the top of L1, that was the old size. I had to do a double take

Your post made me smile! I love your enthusiasm.

I second this! I love the look of Bonnetina and wish there was more documentation on them--you could be the difference maker, fcat!
