IMG_3427.JPG Top is molt. Below is dark new P. metallica. My first molt! Never saw it coming. Aye right up to molting! Just discovered it chilling out this morning. There is a dubia in the cage I can't catch. But it doesn't stray from where it is stuck. Don't think I'll mess with it. Need to rehouse to make maintenance easier. For now, status quo.

How soon should I try to remove the molt? It's right above the T and it will be tough to get it out of there. Don't want to risk the T, but really want to get the molt.

Genic? That's not an A.geniculata.
*sigh* That's what I've been suspicious of for a little while now. Not being real familiar with A. geniculata I was hoping maybe they have a red color form and this was one of those. I don't know for sure when I bought it, but I'm pretty sure I know who sold it, and I trust the seller completely. I ordered a genic, and am sure it was an honest mistake. So, what do you think it is then?

Can you post pics now that it has hardened, maybe spread out and not in the cover mode. it could be Acanthoscurria antillensis they are very blonde

How is this? I can try to get a shot of her if she moves out of the corner if necessary. WP_20161102_21_40_46_Pro.jpg
