Hey Tommy, Just got on and saw this . Glad you were able to do some emergency work to free him and that things are looking better now . Just goes to show you're one helluva keeper, bro!

Looks like I've got at least one male out of the smaller two. P.o. #2 looks male by general impression of body shape.........-like that's even figurable at this stage- or ever reliable. I've got the fingers crossed that we each have at least one male, and being a little greedy- hopefully that'll be all.

Thanks Yall.. The little one seems to be acting somewhat normal.. Other than the front legs just flopping over.. I went to check his water.. He has not drank any since I filled it the last time.. He has however webbed a little in the cube.. Also.. When I tried moving him he went spastic like he did before..


Terry.. It seems I have 2 males.. The other might be a female.. (Hopefully!)

Tommy, Well, it looks like I've got some dark shading/outline in the upper area of the arch on one. Shape and speed of growth on the other doesn't look so female. None of it is anywhere near being set in stone........:?

Progress

I'm glad to hear he's still active. That has to be a plus!

A little update...

Some pictures...

Now.. The thing that has me a bit stumped.. When he is on the side of the cube.. The legs that are not touching the cube sort of twitch.. :?
I am guessing its a side affect from the bad molt maybe..

Here is a video of what I am talking about.. I have seen the legs that he has less control over do this.. In the video.. Watch his right palp..

Like I said.. I am guessing its a side affect from the molt.. Other than that.. He seems to be doing fine..

Nope.. This one is still unnamed.. Just like most of my critters.. I suck with thinking up names..
