GBB molt pics

Well one of my little GBB's molted...he is about 1" maybe slightly bigger...

Post-molt pics of my huge T. Blondi, Zilla



My big female T. Blondi decided to come out of her den for a few minutes this evening so, of course, I grabbed the camera! She didn't stretch out at all, but I did put her old carapace next to her and a quarter - just to show her relative hugeness (her molt measured 10" and she appears to have gained quite a bit of size)! There is a big difference in the size of her new carapace when compared to her old one.
Also, she does have a small injury to the side of her carapace. I had noticed when I first removed the molt that the carapace had stayed connected to it in one place - exactly where she has the injury now. It doesn't appear to be too serious, but I am still keeping a close eye on her.

Close up of the injury on the edge of her carapace:

what a picky eater!!! (P. Ornata feeding video)

I shot this feeding video of my Mm P.Ornata feeding, he will only eat on the glass.....he will not even think of eating anywhere else....I think he is just halarious!!! I have to hand feed him....it is the only way LOLOL

Starting another T.Blondi mating project (video)

Well both of my females have molted, the massive girl "Zila" will not be ready for 1 1/2 months but my other female "Sammy" is ready!!! She is about 1 moth and 3 weeks into her molt cycle, I was going to wait until she was 2 months but decided to mate her now. This is the female with the odd looking spot on her abdomen....but she is kicking the deformed spot off and I believe it is just a piece of molt or tangled hair and she is fine. Below is her mating video!!

Enjoy!!!

Nice pics rob. BTW you have to get one of Zilla next to a ruler....if she molts a couple more times you'll have to feed her cattle.

No, I haven't yet but she is massive! I redid her enclosure - just posted a tutorial on it in the Q&D section - and you can see her on video. She's in an 8" deli and she makes it look small....she barely fit!!

 

[biomarine2000]

robc, how do you keep the quality of your image? Everytime I post on here it tells me to resize so I resize to 1024 x about 800 and the image comes out horrible. Any recommendation?

Ps. Your thread is awesome. Puts mine to shame. :worship:

Resize your pics to 640 x 480 before uploading and that should work. You can also change your camera settings to take the pics at 640 x 480 so you won't need to resize them. Either should work.

Thank you!!

Congrats rob !

Very cool small guys

Great pics and vids rob. Spent 5hours watching them, lol.

Can we see some arboreal setups now? lol

GBB Molt pics

Well One of my little GBB's molted and is know about 1 1/2", I realy like the coloration at this stage.....the Blue will be great but I love this stage also.

A. Versicolor update - timelapse video/pics


Our A. Versicolors started molting into 1st instars already. They were just eggs 6 days ago and a day or so later they started emerging into eggs w/ legs but never fully emerged. Now they are already 1st instars - if that's what they are at this point. They are mobile. Does anyone have any thoughts on this going so quickly? Ever seen it before? This just seems quick to me. (Watch the video in high quality if possible).

Handing my biggest Blondi Zilla

I decided it was time to hold my biggest T. Blondi, Zilla. I tried to hold her but she didn't fit in my hands...so she just basically wandered around and over my hands. She is a big old girl - for something of a size reference, keep in mind that I am 6'5", 260lbs.

The complete H. Gigas Egg Sac Experience (LOL)


Well, I went to rehouse my H. Gigas last night and *surprise* she had an egg sac waiting for me! Took a video of me pulling the sac (always makes me feel bad!), opening and placing the eggs on the incubator!

My male P. Fasciata molted out mature a few days ago. I was able to get a time-lapse video of the molt, not the best angle but he molted inside of his tube hide. The last time he molted we thought for sure he would mature, but he didn't and he was 7" then. He is now 8"+...pretty big for a MM of this Sp.

P. Irminia Slings - Molting into 1st instars!


Our P. Irminia eggs w/ legs have started molting into 1st instars - alot faster than I thought they would!! Some of the eggs haven't emerged into eggs w/legs yet - I was thinking they were just behind the others that had, but now I'm not so sure they're going to make it. I'm keeping a close eye on them...time will tell.

I decided to shoot a few pics of the little guys...

P. Ornata 3rd instar molting into 4th instar (time lapse)

Caught one of the 3rd instars in my colony finally molting into 4th instar (he was the last one!) so I decided to get a time lapse video. I noticed that some of the others in the colony hovered over him after he'd finished his molt and even took the molt away...odd behavior.

Here's the time lapse video:

[youtube]gZuzbX2T44k[/youtube]

I looked into my male P. Rufilata's enclosure to find that he'd molted overnight. He gained quite a bit of size and looks stunning! Here's some pics:

Can anyone spot the odd one out??

(Doing cage maintenance - sorry for the dirty fingers...sometimes it sucks to have a good camera! LOL)

P.Irminia update! (she has very good aim - LOL)

I rehoused my Female P. Irminia (the one I have slings from, I believe I figured out why this sac wasn't as successful as the others. While I was rehousing her she nailed me with poo!! LOL.....my wife managed to catch it on tape. Pretty funny stuff!!!!

New stuff from the local reptile show!


We got a few new pets from our local reptile show. Picked up a 5.5" female N.chromatus, a baby bearded dragon (my sons) and a 6" female leopard gecko (my wifes). We could use some advice on the lizards - being new to them. We received some basic care instructions but would love some more info from more experienced keepers. Thanks!

Here's a little video of all three:

So basicaly I have the female and M and will be breeding them and exchanging slings with Jamie.....this T is just simply amazing and very docile....dream come true for me!

Female P.metallica enclosure tutorial


I just had to make a new enclosure for our female P.metallica - wanted her to have something nice to call home. She'll get a bigger enclosure eventually with a different type of hide - I'm thinking dual-chambers. She's already eating and seems quite at home...any disturbance near her and she goes right into her hide.

Here's a video of the enclosure being made:

[youtube]tEdyu-jKymQ[/youtube]



MM P.pederseni


I got this T from Dansdragons...he said he was close to his ultimate molt and 2 days after I received him, he had his mature molt! Good timing...it's been over a week (11 days) since the molt, he's made a sperm web and since I got him out to breed, I snapped a few pics of him:

Singapore Blue fresh molt (pics & time lapse vid)

I caught my Singapore Blue on her back so I shot a time lapse vid and took some pics the next day. I included the pics in the vid also so my youtube members could also see.

P.irminia sac - Siamese twins!!

Pulled our P.irminia sac earlier tonight (video of that is uploading now) and as we were seperating the eggs w/ legs, we noticed something interesting...one has one abdomen, two heads and 16 legs - all wiggling! We've never run across this before, thought it was very interesting and wanted to share some pics of the little guys/girls...

Here is a video of the Siamese twin....the pics are in the video that are already posted but I wanted my youtube viewers to also see it. The black egg in the vid was removed LOL

[YOUTUBE]WsSHv8SEbCY[/YOUTUBE]


Must see macro pics of the molted Siamese twins!


I decided to start a new thread for these pics (as well as posting the pics in the other threads)...wanted to make sure everyone gets a chance to see them. I'm still shocked over these guys...I can't believe they've molted successfully into 1st instars - I had my doubts.

Close up of where the heads meet - they are not joined:

Close up of heads and abdomen - notice there are 4 spinnerettes:

Recieved the MM P. metallica

I recieved a MM from Jamie (Sukai94).....and he is a very pretty boy! I wasn't actualy going to get a MM but I decided that since he was so fresh & if the female molted out I could still breed him again after she molts.

[youtube]3IuQ35mzxuc[/youtube]

Got a new T at the reptile show.

Well I picked up a female E. murinus at the reptile show, she is just gorgeous (still needs a molt). she is actually a lot more docile than I expected!!

T. blondi (mature molt)...but not without problems.

Well my male T. blondi had his mature molt, i originaly thought he was not going to make it. he did get some of the molt stuck on a booklung but I was lucky enough to get it off!! In the video I did this right after the molt.....I only did this because of where it was, if it had been somewhere else on the abdomen I would have waited a day or two.

[YOUTUBE]Ch9SaTJ4g24[/YOUTUBE]

Here is some pics of him and his emboli:

As you can see in the vid and pics below he does have a ulcer and a injury but is somehow doing fine. He cracked his exo before he molted (about 2 hrs) before, I have decided to leave on the stuck on pieces!

[YOUTUBE]I8pNtTL9e_g[/YOUTUBE]

Pics of the place that ruptured before the molt:

He also rupture near the back of his abdomen but there is no evidece of that on his new skin?

She was claimed to be 10" when I first recieved her (I think 9.5").....she has molted 2X since then....her last molt was not a very good molt, she was a little skinny and had curved back leg slightly. This molt, she looks just huge and beautiful!!
