Doesn't look particularly dry. Think you should just a bit more substrate to keep a little more moisture and humidity. It may not even be that. I have lost a few spiders not long after they molted:(

Bad loss bud, sorry.

Sorry to hear that.

It seems pokie are the more common species to have issues with moulting.

I agree about adding a bit more substrate and maybe keep it a bit more moist than it is know.
How big are your spiders living in those containers?

I will try adding more substrate and add water more often than once a week.

How big was the spider?
As you saw at my place, if the spider is over 5cm, I would not worry about keeping it too moist. Mine are kept bone dry.

Sorry bout your loss, I lost a 8cm fasciata who decided to mould just before the last cold spell. And for some reason she did'nt survive the cold, even tough all my other T's are fine...
