Sericopelma generalum - not a small spider and she's still growing :D

I think in a few years she may actually reach the 8" mark.

My juvenile male Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens has flipped onto his back.

This surprised me, because even though he refused food last week (something he rarely does), he just molted three months ago.

I hope he does not mature yet!

My P. irminia molted all of a sudden. Was a quite nice surprise this morning. Sadly I couldnt observe it because I had to go to work TT___TT

Neoholothele incei "Murderess", who killed her sibling in a failed communal, molted today. Just confirmed my suspicions on the sex.

My P.irminia sling just molted, haven't managed to get a picture yet but it's showing adult colours for the first time.

Olios giganteus finally molted into a mature male. First male I've had of this species and want to get some good comparison shots of the male and female. I have two females (and some unsexed slings) but they aren't close to maturing yet.
Chilobrachys sp Electric Blue molted (now about 3"). Destroyed the molt so couldn't sex it.
Psalmopoeus irminia molted (now about 2.5").
Various slings molted (3 x H. venatoria, 2 x S. grossa, 1 x L. hesperus)

Well not today, but last night I came home to my GBB molting. He/she choice of location was pretty bad. The little T chose one the highest locations to molt. Basically giving itself very little room to go through this stressful process. When I saw it, I didn't want to disturb it, so I decided to just open the lid to it's enclosure and place it in a larger inclosure.

B. vagans got his hooks a few days ago. Came home from work and my N. chromatus is now sporting hooks too. I'm surprised how small he is. Took a peek inside my P. cams web and I see upside down legs....better not be another male lol.
