This is my G Pulchipes tarantulas molt, she's been hiding since she molted, so not really got the best pic to show the size difference

I had heard that it's not uncommon for juvenile spiders to double size after a molt. It's definitely true, I was a freaked out to see that my spider went from a 2" leg span to a 4" in the space of a few hours

I had arachnophobia, I think of it more like a hamster now

Hopefully can get some better photos of her when she emerges from her coconut, her teeth are twice the size now so I won't annoy her. At least I hope it's a she, next molt should know for sure.
