I initially bought beef sticks with the very intention of using the container afterward. It looked very tempting to use as fossorial tarantula enclosure. So today, I rehoused Cyriopagopus bach ma into this deep substrates set up enclosure for the first time.

It was just yesterday that I rehoused two of my Cyriopagopus sp Hati Hati from their initial enclosures to a little larger enclosures. While doing it, I thought to myself, hmm, this one might molt soon. A little did I know is, a day after it would actually happen.
It molted well.

Heterothele gabonensis, five days after it’s initial rehouse, already so much changes took place. Currently it has three separate hide entrances to get to it’s burrow. I am certain, over time, more changes will be done.

Chilobrachys electric blue is rehoused into a bit larger enclosure, and this would be it’s final enclosure, in hope, it would make itself a nice burrow from that hide.

Finally, Aphonopelma chalcodes first molt ever under my care. It was quite the waiting.

Nhandu chromatus is rehoused into a bit more spacious enclosure, and hopefully this time around, I’d love to see it using it’s hide.

Last molted on 10/14/2021, Xenethis immanis is about to molt at the moment. I caught it on it’s back while morning routine check up.
It’s now about 5” or so, I am curious how larger it will get once it molts.

So many things to update since my last post, but I will just go slowly, and take a step at a time. Recently molted Psalmopoeus victori was out and about, just to throw it’s old skin out. So I took it out to take a good look at it. My guess was right, and it was indeed female.

I love to witness tarantulas when they are about to molt. Such amazing moments to catch / treasure / cherish indeed.
I caught Nhandu chromatus about to molt today.

Harpactira pulchripes molted, and molted well. I was suspecting it as a female quite some time, and now it is confirmed female by molt sexing.
It’s freshly molted coloration is just amazing every time I see it, and I can’t stop amazed by it.

Very exciting day indeed.
All because of my Homoeomma chilense female is up to something.
Now, it’s last molt was on 11/01/2021, and it’s last pairing was 02/02/2022. Which means, it’s either going to molt or make an egg sac.
If it is going to molt, then I can wait to recover, and have another pairing go with the male without worrying it to molt out.
If it is going to make an egg sac, then I’ll be so very happy to share on going progress with you all.

Very underrated tarantula species in my opinion, with much potential to grow it’s popularity.
It is such a lovely looking tarantula that is eating well, dig well, web well, hunt well.
I can’t wait to feed this beauty again in two to three weeks.

Poecilotheria rufilata, first appearance after it’s recent molt on 08/04/2022.
I somewhat wanted it to be a female, but it shows pretty male-ish coloration at the moment. I guess I’ll have to look around to find a female for it later.

Pamphobeteus solaris, molted just now. I was expecting it to molt a bit sooner, but it’s all good. Now I will have another tarantula to feed in three weeks or so.

To start off the year of 2023, Pamphobeteus paisa molted, and molted well. It’s old skin is fairly dry, not dry dry, so it’s safe to assume that it molted yesterday.
It’s recent molt dates are now as follow:
Jan 29, 2019
Jun 24, 2019
Dec 22, 2019
Dec 4, 2020
Apr 20, 2021
Jan 1, 2023
It has pretty decent steady molt cycle.
I knew it was a female, but I did reconfirm yet again to be 100% sure.

Mind saying what the dimensions of the exo terras are in these posts? (actually looks like the Chilobrachys is in something that isn't exo terra)
Would be very helpful. Also, really digging the decor your P. victori put up.
