that's fantastic! my t-blondi molted on the same day that i discovered that the h. longgidum? had buried and not eaten the pinky mouse that i gave him? this caused a tiny infestation of baby blowflies in my house the night the blondi molted. this = dead blondi by day three. yes, i had changed her cage. but we are picking up some more slings next weekend...let me know if you need anything

Hey Vayu Son..........

Has your Paraphysa scrofa molted or grown any of late? My Chilean Copper just molted, after a long wait of course, and I am a bit surprised how much size it picked up in the process! I think it almost picked up 1/2"! It looks quite leggy now, though I would not confirm it to be male yet. But it looks really great, such a bright copper color, it is stunning, and it has this brilliant spot of red on the beginning of it's opisthosoma. The colors have definately improved greatly after this shed. But , I did not expect such a growth spurt from this fellow, considering how slow they are. It eats like a pig though, anything I put in there! It is now about 1 1/2" in length.

Yes

Another 125 and we'll all be set..,,,Dave
