A further happy update... the little guy shed again at the weekend, and now has all eight legs again, with just the latest regenerated leg loooking a little thinner and quite a bit shorter than the others, the three which regenerated last time now look normal complared to the rest, the new leg...
Two nice molts this weekend... My B vagans from 4 to 5 inches. Has more than doubled in size in a year with 3 molts, I got this one at around 2 inches last Christmas. My P Regalis that suffered a very bad molt back in April had its second molt since, and has now rejuvinated all its three missing...
Been away for a few days came back to find my G pulchra & N chromatus both molted out to a good solid 4 inch plus each now starting to look pretty impresive
During the past week
A genicualta sling from 5th - 6th instar those little white knees now showing clearly
GBB juvi 2.75-3.5 inches now with full adult colours wow!
N cromatus Juvi from 2.25 - 3 inch plus
Unfortunatley my 6th instar B emilia didnt make it after attempting to molt upright.
My little P regalis who suffered a very bad molt in transit back in Feb this year has finally molted after 6 months of intensive care in an ICU, has managed to regenerate all 3 legs lost but shed the remaining most badly deformed this time, so has 1 leg left to regenerate. The new legs are...
A quick update for all those who have been following this thread, its been a while since I last posted but very happy to say the little P regalis finally molted last week, and regenerated all of the lost legs, but shed the most severly defromed remaining leg in the process so still has a little...

These are very slow growers in my experience, I have a 3.5" female that last molted in May 2011, and has been in pre-molt now for longer than I can remember, you just have to be patient with this species.
I have a varied collection of 17 T's at present spanning many different genus, both NW & OW, all are thriving in my living room which is a constant 60-70 degrees max, in the UK winter its not unusual for it to dip into the mid-high 50's overnight, I don't use any other heat source other than my...
Same for me, thought who would ever want something like that, but got given (rescued) an adult P murinus that scared its original keeper silly so wasn't being cared for properly, that was my third T after G rosea & G pulchra, so in at the deep end so to speak, now I have in addition C marshali...
