@louise f I could, although i'm not too concerned about it. Still a nice spider regardless of gender.

@louise f Pretty sure, it got boxing gloves as far as i can see, took my by surprise, even though you can't see it on the picture.

@KezyGLA My thanks! Unfortunately i can't afford another spider for the time being.. Grr.. One day though.

@louise f Really wish i could have gotten the colours to pop like they do in person.

Had my suspect male C. cyaneopubescens molt overnight, as i don't see any hooks or pedipal bulbs i hope it's a female. 15-16cm DLS. Freshly Molted by VelvetCollar posted Jul 27, 2016 at 11:57 AM

Just caught her starting to molt when i went to bed, results are beautiful.

@KezyGLA Mine had a blonde abdomen too before she molted, instead of the rusty colouration like it has now, hornestly i have some doubts if it's a true A. chalcodes, gorgeous all the same though.

Suspect female Aphonopelma chalcodes 15cm DLS.

Just wanna chip in and say that mine is fairly possessive of various specific items in his/her enclosure, i can do massive digging projects and at most the spider will walk/sprint out incase of.. cress or mold, but if i put in a pippette near the waterdish(not webbed up mind you) it loses it...

Best bet would be that there was stilll a bit of moisture from when i mixed the sub, but thats well over 2 weeks ago, allthough it seems just as dry as when i put it in.

Definitely not how i imagined the enclosure when i put the ''plants'' and hide in there, looks great though.

Web mound of my C. cyaneopubescens :)

That's good, it'd be a pain to have to get a new batch of sub for the enclosure right after she settled in. :)

I hornestly don't know how this happened, but my A. chalcodes got green palps, in all seriousness, is this harmfull? I found the plant growing in the corner of my A. chalcodes tank thats exposed to light arround 15-16 hours a day, substrate is coconut fiber and the moisture is arround 60-65% in...

:banghead:

@louise f It only took fifty years(give or take) for the spider to climb onto the wall, got a picture though.

Got three new additions today, A. chalcodes(12-13cm DLS) along with two B. albopilosum spiderlings of tiny size. Chocolate ball 1&2 Tanya Was gonna get a N. chromatus female but i kinda fell in love with the chocolate colours of the A chalcodes after seeing pictures on the boards. :shy:

Started off watching youtube videos about housespiders, then tarantulas etc. to get over arachnophobia, when i did i mentioned i was interested in getting one to my family that generally speaking abhors spiders and especially tarantulas, exept for the guy that has a tendancy to not do the whole...

Well there goes my line.
