Front view.




In this one if you take a closer look, you'll notice the 2 mealworm beetles that she's eating.

Very nice spider!

Hey, Var-

Cool pics and great spider. I love the Brachypelma genus - the vagans is on my buy list. Looks like your using an infrared heat lamp, huh?

Peace

You gotta love the vagans especially after a fresh molt. They are so stunning. Nice pics:)

Cross your fingers.....

My B_Vagans is on her back right now and has been that way for at least two hours. I'm VERY concerned 'cause she is still pretty small and I get the impression that smaller T's breeze through their molt process.

I kept checking and checking on "him" for hours 'til I finally decided to just go to sleep and when I woke up in the morning he was fine. Seems a bit awkward with its long legs (that's why I'm referring to it as a him even though I kow you can't tell the sex just by the "legginess" of it)

Thanks for the good vibes guys=D
