Geniculata molt!
Molt was just shy of 7”. So she’s probably 7” now.

Our larger P. arboricola came out of her last molt with an abdomen defect. Hoping that she can repair it during next molt.

Looooooong time no pics. So here’s a huge photo dump.
We tragically lost a few favorites (G. iheringi female, and our T. angustum we’d had since 2003), survived a hurricane that knocked out power for weeks, and everyone grew up a bit more.

successful H. mac breeding, 31 2nd instars. (Half the sac was dessicated, kept the enclosure too dry). But she just laid a second sac a few days ago, will be keeping her with more humidity this time.

They're all beautiful, but that MM P. antinous is just stunning. What a beauty. I hope you get a nice sac from that pairing.
