3 Molts today and other news

[GartenSpinnen]

Nothing too interesting, but i had 3 molts. I had my Aphonopelma behlei sling molt, and my 2 L. parahybana molted. The A.b went from a little over 1/8" to a little under a 1/2". It was a pretty substantial gain in size for such a little sling. My 2 L.p went from 1/2" to 3/4". I wont bother posting pics because they still just look like regular slings lol. But soon, they will be monsters... at least with the L.p's, the A.b will probably mature when im 80 .

And in other news, both of my S. heros castaneiceps appear to have molted. I am suspecting my Aphonopelma sp. i have to actually be a dwarf species of some type. And my C. fasciatum is gravid and will be laying her sac any time now.

Cheers

I thought all Aphonopelma sp. were considered dwarf?

I don't beleive thats true. I have a female A. Chalcodes and she is definantly not a dwarf. If you look at some of the sizes that dealers sell adult Aphonopelma females they certainly would not be considered "dwarf".

Although I do recall someone selling a dwarf species awhile back. I will have to do a little digging to see which Aphonopelma it was.
