I feel so happy... I've almost missed it (I had to went out 5 minutes after she 'landed' on her back and returned home ten minutes before she started)

Nice looking T. how big is it? I can't wait til mine starts showing it's adult colors.

Probably 5 cm bodylenght and 14 cm legspan.

Gorgeous T and AMAZING photos :clap: Did you set your camera up on a tripod or something? Seriously they could be used in a Young Tarantula's Guide to Moulting. Very nice

Did you set your camera up on a tripod or something?

Yes, I used tripod. This was the only way to take this kind of pics.

how many molts till they start getting adult colors?

7 - 8 molts (or 9 - 10 if you count also 'nymphI' and 'nymphII' stages).
