It works every time for me...and I don't think the type of flooing matters...they can sense the vibration no matter what surface they are on and it's stops them.

P. Irminia Molt Pics:


Well, my juvenile P. Irminia molted - she went from 2 1/2" to almost 4"...in these pics, I did not touch her, she climbed out so I thought I'd get some pics.

The top 3 pics were taken through the container in her tube web:

10" P.Ornata (My Favorite T)

Thats a really big pokie! I'd love to see this thing next to a ruler bro!

Just a word of advice... Be careful when you let your spiders run on the carpet... Their hooks can actually catch on the carpet and it can rip off their legs.

Pics of My MM and female H.Gigas

I got this MM H.Gigas yesterday and the female about 5 days ago, the female is crazy and will bite anything in site, the MM is more laid back.

Pics of MM:

Pics Of Female:

H.Gigas attitude on tape!

I had to re-house my H.gigas and before I started video taping (and while he was still in his temporary enclosure) he was on his back, almost doing a back-stroke in the dirt with fangs out and venom flying ever where - it was nuts. So I decided to get some video of me putting him in his new enclosure, see if I could get a little of that attitude on video...and I succeeded! He is a mean boy...you won't dodge that strike!

NOTE: It is not recommended to antagonize any T and I did not in any way...I simply had him in his cup to transfer him and he was not pleased - to say the least!!

Female B.smithi molt sequence

I caught my Female B. Smithi molting and decided to snap a pic by pic molt sequence, so here you go!!

Her past three molts:

Female B.Emilia molt pics

My Female b.emilia molted again!! She is growing quite fast, her last molt was 11/05/08. She gained a lot of size with thias molt & is just gorgeous!!!

B Sabulosum stuck in molt (had to free him/her - video)

I'm putting this in Discussions initially and then I will move to Tarantula Molts.

Well, my B Sabulosum got stuck in his molt, he had several legs on one side stuck, so I had to intervene and try to help him. I got all but one unstuck....the last leg could not be saved. I do NOT recommend any one doing this, do Not do what is done in this video unless you have no other choice - it could kill your T. I was very lucky, it usually doesn't end up with these results.

Here is a pic of him- notice the missing leg. Also, feel free to sex him/her...I have my thoughts but want everyone else's opinion, like always.

P. Regalis Molt Sequence - Bad Molt (Pics & Video)


Well, our female P. Regalis molted late last night/early this morning and it didn't go well. I started another thread with a few pics last night but wanted to started a new thread with the entire molt sequence and a video I just took so all the info is in one place. Any advice or info on what went wrong is appreciated. She seems better than I thought she'd be considering how she looked right after the molt. The whole family is upset and very worried about her...

Here's the molt sequence (make sure you watch the video at the end...):

After the molt, she turned right side up by herself:

About 2 hours after she molted:

Video taken about an hour ago:

She died 1 1/2 months later.



P.Regalis & B.Boehemi molt pics!

Well My B.Boehemi molted again and has realy got some color with this molt!!! she is araound 3" and id just plain gorgeous....her orange has realy come out.


Female B.Boehemi:

My Male p.regalis molted again (this is the guy that tagged me!!). He gained some unbelievable size, he went from 4" to 5 1/2"!!! I looked in the container and couldn't believe how big he is.....I had no idea he was in pre-molt.....he ate 2 hrs before his molt. I will say one thing, looking at his folio stripe he doesn't look that maleish..but he is!!

Male P.regalis:

Post molt Versicolor pics!!

I took some more pics of my MM A.Versicolr (he is about 1 week mature)....he is just stunning!!!

Here he is on his tube web:

9"+ Female T. Blondi molt sequence - Video & Pics

Well, our 9"+ female T. Blondi molted last night/this morning...took about 10 hours for her to complete the molt. I took pictures and videotaped the entire thing. She's resting now and looks stunning! She does seem to have a small abnormality on her abdomen...if anyone has an idea as to what this is, please let me know. Also, she was gravid and during the molt I saw a few clear eggs come out of her furrow...has anyone ever seen that before? I hope you can take the time to watch all the videos...I know there's a lot and hope they don't bore anyone. I just thought it was very intersting and worth sharing. We stayed up the whole time (she finished at about 2am) so we could be there in case there was an issue and also to document the entire event. Thanks! Rob
