After being sealed away for 6+ weeks it was great to see this little stunner today. Grabbed a few pics and gave her a cricket.

One of my Sicarius thomisoides moulted today.

Can't help but imagine an enemy out of the Doom universe.

Gollomspider.
How have you sexed your Hogna?

Aye. She's a female. She produced a phantom sac a while ago. Can't believe how small she is. Thought she'd have at least 1 or 2 more moults left.

This little stunner again. Had to hammer it down to 500kb so you'll not be able to pinch in without it looking awful.

Once again had to hammer this down to 500kb so don't try to pinch in.

What are those red thing on its chelicerae

From what I've been able to gather they're tendons or similar that help control the chelicerae.

Nowt new so going back over my pics and I realised I haven't actually posted this one before.

I don't think I've posted this pic before. Either way I re-edited it anyway. Brought out more details.

Now I have posted the original of this before. One of my favourite pics taken in April 2020. I went back to the drawing board and re-edited it again. Increased the light, lightened the shadows a bit. And managed to bring out more details still so the pic really does look alive.
