I wasn't able to get pictures of all of my Ts while I was cleaning and feeding this weekend, but I did manage a few. Since so many of my slings have molted in the past week, I thought I might share a few.
First the Grammostola quirogai. Woke this morning to find this lovely lady standing on top of her molt. Can't wait to see how she looks in a day or two. The perspective in this picture gives the impression that the enclosure is a mile high. The end with more substrate has about 2 inches of space, and the end with less has about 2.5 inches of space.
Next is my prettiest little sling, in my opinion, an Ephebopus cyanognathus. She (fingers crossed) was about an inch before she molted. Glad to see her finally making a burrow. I love the way the entrance to her burrow climbs up the fake plant. I just wish I could get a picture of her lovely purple abdomen. She started construction pretty much as soon as she finished molting though, and I missed the opportunity. Didn't want to mess with her at first, so this was taken about 5 or 6 days after her molt.
And finally, one of my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens slings. Wish I knew some way to pull those food remains out of the web without yanking the whole thing out like a fish. I love my GBB slings; they're almost always doing something. Gives me something to watch.
Just wanted to share a few pictures, but feel free to provide feedback on the setups if you see something that should be addressed. Always open to learning how to do better.
