Lookin forward to it.. :biggrin:Ill get some first hand exp. with a FEW diff ts ive never owned. I can live vicariously through your collection, then decide which ones id like to add to my own.

So far, i have a couple nice additions lined up.. just a matter of getting paid to snag them. a few subfusca LL and a nice new Lampy (niggerrimum) would make my collection less stagnant

Thanks, it's been awhile.
It's now 1.5" and in premolt. I boosted the humidity a bit, so we should see what happens soon.
Oh, okay. Your picture was pretty deceiving, because it looks bigger than that. Mine is about the same size, but I never see it, aside from its legs sticking out from underneath its trap door, or the quick flash of it coming out of its burrow to snatch a cricket. The past couple weeks though I haven't seen any legs sticking out underneath the trap door's lid at night like I usually do, so I can only assume it's in premolt too.

It does look bigger.
Mines in a large vial and once it molts i know i'm going to have to rehouse it.
She has a nice burrow going on along the side and can see in it pretty clear.
I'm debating on getting another still.

Aww...poor Ephebopus got a shower...:D
Had to flood her out of her old enclosure to rehouse her.
I'm sure she didn't mind since the person who cared for them while i was away for 3 months forgot to give a bit of water.
Everything was bone dry.

She seems to be doing better with more room and substrate, already has a burrow built.
Gave her a roach last night, she just hangs out of her burrow with it in her fangs.

No, i never got to see the last molt since i was away.
It does look female to me, and shes in premolt right now so we should see soon.

How's that LP?

Great update, as usual. How big is your Psalmopoeus reduncus?
