freshly moulted salmon pink

[Ozzy]

My little salmon pink moulted on Friday and so I've taken a few pictures of him today.

Pretty new to the boards and I didnt say hello in my last post - so, hello! I have this Salmon Pink and a Brazil Black which I only got a month ago. These are the first tarantulas I've had and was lucky enough to watch my little Salmon moult on Friday!

I have a bigger cage for him... do folks think he needs it?! That is his current container he's in for the photos!

He's looking well nice! Not long before you have to fit him with a coller and lead and get him a greenhouse to live in! ;P

Hugs to you lad, it was great you got to watch the whole moult! :clap: I've kept t's for 4 months and I have ten. You have had yours for a month and you have 2, none of mine have even moulted never mind me getting to see them!

Congrats on the molt, and welcome to the boards.

Not only is it a great experience to witness a molt, but a nerve wrecking one aswell. i am glad u both made it through with flying colors. :clap:

Beautiful baby!

I also have a B Black (g.pulchra)...any pics of yours?

 

[Lyle Beach]

I would say that he/she could stay in there for at least 1 more molt before you need to re-house it.

Cheers,

Lyle

Thanks Crunchie. You are indeed a pal.

I just purchased some slings from Gail, and now have a molt-fest going on. OBT's and L. Parahybanas. Wonderful little creeps, fast as hell too. Ended up with one OBT perched on my shoulder, definitely a keeper.

How did u react to that? I dont think i would have done well. More like a frozen "Oh $hit"

Welcome Ozzy. Which part of West Lothian? anywhere near Biggar??

I keep telling Ozzy to get himself a nice snuggly OBT to cuddle up to!

And why not I was led to believe OBT's are very snuggly and love to cuddled by their owners!

Oh yes, the OBT's as well as the L. Parahybanas are the clingy type. Usually cling to you with their fangs. Hey, it didn't nail me(this time). Overall, I feel any serious T collector should have OW's in their collection as well as a L. Parahybana or a T. Blondi. (working on getting a Blondi soon) A hole in the wall pet store has a Blondi no one wants for $69.00, so maybe they'll drop the price for me like they did on a Dodoma Baboon no one wanted (just $9.00). The adventure continues...

hi Keith.
Not too far from Biggar--about 30 miles or so.
Livingston is where im from----in the middle between Glasgow and Edinburgh.
I take it you have some Scottish connections.

Cruncie... thanks for pics of his B Black

Hey Ozzy,
Born and raised in Glasgow (East Kilbride). Folks live in Biggar, where I stay sometimes while over in UK on business. Have you visited the collection at Edinburgh Butterfly and Insect World? They have some nice specimens, although last time I was there, some of the enclosures didn't appear to me as though they really catered for their occupants' requirements.

Told you Ozz! Get a nice OBT, gowan you know you want to!
