Well here is a couple of pics of my E.cyanognathus that moulted yesterday.

Not good pics as well as I would have liked but here they are.

Still looks nice and fat for post molt, must be one of the 'good ones'. I've heard it's not wise to power feed these so I've been being a bit conservative with mine. I see that the front legs are dark/blueish. How big is it, I'm curious how big they usually are when they start to darken in color. Mine just molted today, I can just see it down the hole. It was previously about an inch, can't tell yet how much size it gained, still looks to have the pink legs though.

Going to try a photobucket pic to see if it comes out right...

These are one of the weirdest looking Ts in my opinion. I wonder why they have those crazy blue chelicerae. Do they have the same colouration as adults as well? Anyway nice pics

 

[rosehaired1979]

Females I believe keep the blue however males there turns into a more pinkish color

The actual fangs themselves aren't blue, just the chelicerae. I think it is an effect of light shining off the enclosure onto the fangs that makes them look blue in those pictures.

Awesome pics by the way, love to see the venom dripping!

Nasty!

That one must think you're a cricket. It's drooling
Mine hasn't shown much aggression/defensiveness, but it has given me a scare when it tried running up a pair of tweezers.
Beautiful T's

Its healed up some more from the moult it had a few days ago so thought I would take pics. I wished it would have spawled its legs so you can see how big its gotten. I hope to sex it in 1/2 moults. Its 1.75"
