Nhandu carapoensis molt

[crawltech]

My N. cara molted today,..managed to catch the last 60% of it, while i was home for lunch today....

Snagged it once she made the final push,..this worked fast!

These ones turned kinda neat!....got a few cool ones while she stretched

exo...

came home after work, and checked on her...

she looks good!

I was double checkin her female-ness, and noticed her spermathecea is very small for her size...is this common wit the Nhandu genus?...jus curious, as i havent had may before..

Congrats on the molt!
It might be male accesory organs, since they seem very far apart and dont seem to be connected at all, and I don't see the uterus externus. How big it (s)he?

Very nice. I'm envious of the very intact abdomen on your exuvia. I've yet to retrieve one after a molt where the abdomen wasn't demolished, for the most part. Very beautiful spider you have there.

Thanx!, ya, i had to watch this till it was done, then snag it while it was still good.
