2" P. irminia, just molted in to it's first juvenile colours after 2 months in my care. I waited 5 days for it to nicely harden up before transferring it out of it's 16oz deli cup enclosure in to something more spacious.

Rehoused this little tyke today and they were an angel.

Unsexed P. auratus approx 4.5 dls. Has not molted in my possession yet. Suspect male but not verified. If this genus isn't eating you know a molt is coming.

The largest of my Amblypygi currently. Glorious tyke who isn't that skittish and tolerates me taking photos.

Love this little tyke... couldn't care less that I am watching.

I really don't like posting pictures of slings, but they're exceptions when I love a sling a lot that I'll post a picture of them.

Chunky little thing moved around so much hard time getting the camera to focus

Really neat behaviour sticking their claws out and waiting for something to pass by

They might be tiny now, but they have doubled in size since I got them. They have both burrowed to the very bottom of the vial too. You can see the little hole in the bottom right.

3rd instar finally got a decent pick the thing is very active and molted a week and a half ago 1.5” body-length

Quite a fearless little guy/girl I believe it's 3rd instar! About an inch and a quarter in body length!

Showing off it's prey!

This little fearless bugger was out and about inspecting that new cork bark piece it's under, and I dropped in some prey and this ensued!

Got this little one as a freebie as a 1/4" sling from TarantulaCanada, loved seeing how furry it's gotten as well as it's voracious appetite! Despite all the extravagantly colourful species I've kept, there is something incredibly endearing about how simply furry and fun this species is to raise!

Purchased as a 1/2" from TarantulaCanada shoutouts to Amanda and Martin and The Spiderman on YouTube - wonderful people answered the million questions I had about raising a desert species in captivity!
