Big "Aboreal" P.murinus (OBT)

erm i hate to burst your bubble..... but this is the normal color of the carapace and patella. nothing in the pics suggest an upcoming molt to me.

the only part that really darkens in pre-molt is the thin skin of the abdomen.

This is so funny :clap:

Here is a picture to show how she looked like before molting and the size difference between her and the male. (The male was taken out of her cage as soon as I noticed her on her back, it was very very exciting!)

I will take a recent picture as soon as she comes out of her webbing.

she's a big girly

your male made it out by the skin of his teeth if she was that far into premoult

Here are the recent pictures. She tried killing me lying on her back.

She is beautiful man! Best of luck with the breeding.

She ate a couple Dubias and I introduced the male, no aggression at all, started mating right away. They will stay together until she eats him or he dies of natural causes.

Here is a video showing how male tries to lure her out and a shot of them when they are locked...

Very nice, she's looking a lot fresher now. Also good luck with the sac!!!

After a week of cohabiting with the female and a couple more sperm webs, male reached to the clearing at the end of the path. Female is quilty as charged!
