Here's a couple pics of my G. alticeps still in her molting web that she decided to construct on top of her shelter.

Thanks James! They are terrestrial and in the genus Grammostola, although I've found both of mine to be a little more skittish than most G. roseas. Her color does tend to brown a little as she nears a molt.

I haven't heard too much about their ease of breeding. Maybe someone else has? My male is still a little guy, but I definitely intend on trying when he matures.

Hey, this looks like a T that goes by the common name of Brazillian tawnyred. It's scientific name is/was G. mollicoma. Do you know if it was changed to alticeps?

It looks pretty girthy!

Thanks! I have a G. mollicoma and they are two separate species. You may have seen mollicoma listed as G. pulchripes. IMO G. alticeps looks somewhat like G. inermis, while G. mollicoma favors G. grossa.
