One of my Psalmopoeus pulchers molted an hour ago, now waiting for its sacmate. Last time they molted within a day of each other. Looks loke its grown about a half inch! Im guessing 1.5.

I'll be making a few more adjustments to it in the next few days. Until then, she put all the moss into the waterdish and sat on it.

3 3/4" sling rehouses, this little darlingi gave me 3 laps around and up the sides of the rehouse bin before finally finding his starter burrow.

Once again, had to rehouse my P. murinus yesterday. Put him atop about 4-5" of sub this time. He refuses to burrow, choosing to web water dishes as an occupation.

My C. cyaneopubescens got a little rehouse as well. A little more room to web!

Just viewing your photos with my son and he wants to know if your D Pentaloris is male or female? He thinks female due its shape compared to our male.
It molted before i sold it and i could have almost bet it was male. Due to the very small molt, i wasn't able to say for sure.

Had a call last night from landlords across town, apparently tenants left 10 or 11 tarantulas behind. :confused: 6 were alive. One T. albo sling was nowhere to be found, but a fly carcass was present.... he threw in a housefly which snacked on the 1/4 inch sling?

Anyway.... pics after doing a few rehouses!

Chilobrachys, the only one labeled.... was labeled guangxiensis but maybe a huahini? Im not sure.

Unfortunately for the 4-5 dead.... the owner had left months ago, so the tenants did nothing with the tarantulas. No water or feeding, and kept them in a shelf in a closet. The landlords called and notified a pet store in town who notified me, and they were very concerned about the situation. They were kept with very little substrate and since taking the pictures, all have been rehoused!
