Yeah, 100% NOT a B. vagans....this would be a vagans op....@KezyGLA Is that actually a B vagans? Mine never had stripes on the knees..
I know you're kinda a expert with this species so...
I want to see it after this molt. Doesn't look like a LP imoYeah, 100% NOT a B. vagans....this would be a vagans op....
IMO you have an LP.
Lasiodora parayabana. Or maybe another Lasiodora sp.

She's sitting 1/2 on top of it now in her hide. Should I lift the hide and scooch her off or just leave it until she's ready to come out?Yup. Just leave it be until the process is over. You should remove the exo after molting. Say, if you can pick her old skin after she molts without stressing her, do it. but if the molt is too hard to pick, you may wait until throws it out of her hide.
Leave it first. Pick it up when she's not on it anymore. The main thing is, don't stress her. Congrats on her successful molt!She's sitting 1/2 on top of it now in her hide. Should I lift the hide and scooch her off or just leave it until she's ready to come out?
I got a look at her backside now she's turned around. Jet black legs with bright coloured rusty hairs on her backside. She's soooo lovely!
Thanks.Wow she is so pretty! Welcome to the addiction. She will stretch her legs in odd looking ways over the next week or so. It's totally normal.
Imagine you ran a marathon and then traveled across the globe and how tired you'd be. I imagine Ts are even MORE tired then that after a molt. It is pretty normal for them to have little activity following a molt. Just make sure you let her chill, make sure there is water, and wait a bit until offering prey so her fangs can harden.Thanks.
She's been a total recluse the past few days. How long will she be hiding out for? She hasn't even come out for water I don't think.
For a larger tarantula like yours, it could be a couple of weeks. I wouldn't worry; just make sure the water dish is full, as molting is thirsty work.She's been a total recluse the past few days. How long will she be hiding out for? She hasn't even come out for water I don't think.
Longest one of mine has ever hidden after a molt was when my boy went Ultimate on me, and he was underground for 3 weeks before finally venturing topside. Keep the water dish full, and be patient. Tarantulas do things at their own speed.She's been a total recluse the past few days. How long will she be hiding out for? She hasn't even come out for water I don't think.
I find that mine are more likely to come out of hiding when they're hungry, but 2 weeks should be plenty of time for the fangs to harden. Offer her some prey on Thurs and see if she'll take it. If not, try again in a couple of days.So it's been a week and a half and she still hasn't come out, at least with me around. I know she's "ok" because she changes position in her hide and sometime last night she rolled up her molt Web mat and kicked it out of her hide. LOL!
Anyway I haven't been able to get a look at her fangs to see if they are black yet so how do I know when I can feed her? Thursday will be the 2 week mark so I probably wouldn't attempt before then but how do I know if they are hard at that point if I can't see them?
