9"+ Female T. Blondi molt sequence - Video & Pics

[Comatose]

This something I have never encountered, I am almost thinking that maybe part of her molt stuck on her....I am going to examine the molt.

That's actually what I was thinking...I had that happen to my 9" T. apophysis years back...I sprayed it with warm water a few times and then plucked it off with hemo's. She was kind enough to reward me with a flick of fresh hairs....

Very nice! I am definitely getting one of these. Any vids of the breeding? If not, think you would be able to make one of the next breeding attempt?

 

[robc]

This vid gives me an idea of what I'm looking forward to. My girl is ~10" and I'll be biting my nails every step of the way. Do you think, if she still has eggs, they would still be viable after the molt? Thx again Rob. D

As far as I know the eggs will be infertile...she'll molt out the sperm deposit....rob

Looks great bud! I am sure she will pull through that molt. Keep up the great work and keep us posted!

I was thinking that but from what I can tell the molt is intact, nothing missing...she's looking better now...I measured at over 10"....rob

Well as long as she's doing fine I'd agree that it's nothing to be concerned about...forgot to mention in my previous post; awesome, awesome vids and a damn fine looking spider you've got there.

She has been kicking that area, it looks much better....she has also realy stretched out, she has realy filled up and has gained a lot of size!!! well over 1 1/2"!!!
