And the post-moult stretch! This one amuses me because it almost appears that she cast her moult away and tried to mirror it to show how much she grew.
Great past few days! B albo molted a couple days ago, still tiny, but almost 1/2 and inch now! B vagans molted and our E sp. red molted today, so that was a great surprise to see them both! Great timing too because I need to give my mealworm colony another week to get a little bigger
Male Pamphobeteus sp. machalla, gained a lot of size this molt, went from 3.5 inches to around 4.25-4.5. Arms still itch from the cloud of hair he kicked up when I tried to remove the molt. :/
Came home from work to a freshly molted male p.metallica, I mean the fangs are still white fresh. You can see the old exo skeleton bellow the tarantula hanging in the webbing.
Alright so two more C. versicolor slings have molted, that means we're up to 7 out of 10. I'm pretty sure one of them is right on the cusp and wouldn't be surprised if they're molted by tomorrow.
And. One of my Pamphobeteus sp. "Costa" molted and put on STUPID size, I was floored when I went to check on them.
Pre Molt:
Now:
That's the old carapace it's front foot is sitting on! I knew it was going to be big, given how fat it's abdomen was. But YEESH. I love pamphs.
Also when I went to check on it, one of my P. regalis slipped out of it's hide real quick then jerked back inside super fast. I just thought maybe it saw me and spooked. But then I saw it:
It literally flung it's old exuviae out of it's hide and then ran back into it's hidey hole. Thanks pal, super helpful. Now do this next molt too, so I can sex it.
