Lsal's picture thread

[Lsal]

So my A. metallica sling molted last weekend, and I took some pictures while it was out looking for food the other day. And then I got inspired to make a thread!

I took a short video too, while it was stuffing its face with crickets I don't normally give two at a time but it was happy to have them. This sling is a machine!

Avicularia purpurea

A couple more pictures, this time of my A. purpurea sling. Unfortunately it isn't as photogenic as the rest of the gang, I have a hard time catching it in the open for pictures.

As a tiny sling:

One molt and a lot of web later:

A short feeding video:

Hope you all enjoy, I'll post more here as I take them.

Update on some t's

One of the beauties of working night shifts, is I sometimes get to come home to this.

B. smithi

A. metallica (just happened tonight)

It appears to be displaying adult coloration now, very exciting! This is the same sling from the pictures in the first post of this thread.

And a picture of my A. purpurea (also in first post), recently molted to adult colors:
