Chromatopelma Cyanopubescens

The one freshly molted to L4 . One day after molt.

Nice one. I've got a bit larger beast, but all of them all lovely.
Do you feed her just after the moulting?
I see small cricket (or very large Collembola) on the wall

I waited for about 4 days after moult for feeding.

You can see the new hached cricket on the wall of box. The cricket hached the same day and was 2 mm long.

The t ate 10 crictets then.

 

[Dark Raptor]

ok. I was just curious, because you've wrote that pictures were taken just day after moulting.

Finally I can post on this thread Wonderful little creatures they are, already had his first cricket and has been dubbed "Lightning" due to being the pocket rocket of my t's lol

This is Ginger. She molted a couple of weeks ago and still isn't showing an interest in food.

whats the best way to sex these?

Il post pics as soon as it finishes this molt im preying its a girl i keep getting rinced with males :wall:

 

[blckwidow75]

Actually you know what? Ginger is a MALE, but I name all my T's when I get them as spiderlings and by the time I find out what gender they are they already have an "identity" to me! You'd sex these just like any other T - look for a flap and if you don't see one you probably have another male Right now 10 of mine are sexed and I have 5 known females and 5 known males. I guess that's fair...

Where is it located on the underside of the abdomen?? or elsewhere?

Best bet is to wait for a molt - it will be on the inside of the abdomen. There are many sexing threads on the boards. Do a search and you'll see many great close-up shots of what to look for. If you have the Tarantula Keeper's Guide, see page 51. If you don't, it's a must have!

How much do these guys cost in the US and where can you buy them? I love the colors on the mature adults and the vast difference in appearance from the younger ones. Awesome pictures you guys are lucky!

An adult female is usually around $200 or sooo It is well worth it if you have that kinda cash
