This thread is so interesting! Thank you for updating, and I am glad the regalis turned out to be female.

B.vagans molted early this morning. Maybe 2.5-3 in now.

B. albopilosum, 2nd OBT, and L. violaceopes all molted. I can finally see some purple on my L. viola, but I'm pretty sure it's a male. :/

C. fimbriatus molted, and I think one of my OBTs molted as well. Hasn't come out of its burrow all the way yet.

Alright, that would be great. I'll do the same with mine, it should be due to molt relatively soon.

Ahh, I was finally able to get a look at mine ventrally last night and it also looks male. I've never heard that male to female ratio thing. It will be interesting to see if yours turn out male.

Walmart does have a couple hand held mini microscopes for about $10, it would be something while you save up for a USB microscope. I've heard the little hand held ones work just fine.

Hmm. I mean mine isn't really all that purple at all, even under light. And it is about 3 inches. Why do you think those 2 are males?

That is what I thought too, but I've also heard they are sexually diamorphic, so I'm just not sure. Mine is not even close to being that purple, so I'm thinking it is probably male. Thank you for sharing your pictures!

I'd say probably at 2.5 inches you should easily be able to see spermatheca. I can just make out the spermathecae on my N. chromatus 2 in molt, and that's really only cause I know exactly what I'm looking for. You don't need an expensive microscope. I just use a child's microscope kit and it...

I have a question for y'all that are more experienced about sexual diamorphism in L. violaceopes. Do they show as much as nigerrimum? I have a 3 in viola and in certain light it looks darker and then in other light it looks more brown. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of it, but I really...

She's super cute! I wish I could get my E sp. red to eat. I think she's eaten maybe 6 times since I got her last October. She's so picky, only eats pre-killed food and even that she usually just ignores.

My N. chromatus molted this morning. She's over 2 inches now. Crazy to think just a year ago she was a tiny 2nd instar sling less than .25 in!

P. ornata molted a couple days ago. Didn't even know! At least 5" now and gorgeous.

She's gorgeous! I hope she drops a sac for you!

Haha. I was worried about this when I was getting my cable installed this year. All my Ts are in my room, and I was getting g a cable box put in there. I warned the cable installer about my Ts once he got there, but he was fine with them. And even thought they were kind of neat.

I think my addiction started before I even got my first T with all the research I did. I was reading books and articles and papers every day. I couldn't get enough. Then I went to my LPS, saw they had an L. violaceopes sling(my dream T), and was like Damnit! I knew I wouldn't stop with her, and...

My female H. lividum took about 2 days to dig her burrow that I started for her, and then added touch ups over a couple weeks. But all tarantulas are different in their settling in period. I was wondering if you still had it in the 10 gal? I had mine in a KK and she never burrowed, so I stole...

It is definitely an A. versicolor that is just starting to get its adult colors. A. versis start out with a striped opisthosoma. Well, I payed $15 for mine when is was a 2nd instar, but I have seen some at 2nd instar for $25-30, so I would say its not too bad of a deal. If you can, you can...
