Well it's in the works now. I have a friend who's been keeping tarantulas for close to 20yrs helping me look for C. ritae. Thanks so much for introducing me to these little beauties!

Such an underrated sp. they are absolutely stunning, she looks like my MM - if i'd known we could have paired them, but he's long gone now, but he did mate with three lasses, all three had viable sacs - that was my contribution back to the hobby, I didn't want anything in return - just to see him happy, I received photos and updates, they were all gravid very quickly after the pairing - hope you're gonna breed this girl she's beautiful.

I've no plans to breed any of my T's to be honest. I just like them purely as pets.

This lass is my favourite T. They're absolutely stunning.

when I think about it - haha when would you have the time to feed 100-200 slings, for a couple of months, as long as you're enjoying them as you obviously are - there ain't nought wrong wee that.

What size is your pulchra now?
My B. emilia seems to be molting too, she sealed her hide completely, I don't see her for already one week. When I bought her on june 18th, she was fresh molted. She currently has a BL of about 3 cm, so she shouldn't molt too after such a short time?

She's around the 4" mark I would guestimate. So it's not like she's a sling.

You might say she has the munchies!
It seems black tarantulas with red abdomens are nuts with food.

My Grammostola iheringi is the same. They literally move like their arse is on fire at feeding times.
