I probably have before lol. Her coloration definitely confirmed her species for me after this most recent molt, though. I was kind of sketchy beforehand.

i would love to see better pictures of that T - does it look anything like the Eupalaestrus campestratu ? (Pink Zebra Beauty)
No, not really... Think of it like a G Rosea RCF Only instead of mostly red hairs, they're pink.

Yeah thats deffinatly not an Eupalaestrus Campestratu I have one and he did not look no where near that. I had him since a sling. and he is 3 inches now. I have to agree on the RCF G.rosea

If I am not mistaken the G conception has bulbous scopulae on the metatarsi of legs I and II. You may also be able to ID with spermathacae but the pictures I have seen look pretty similar to G rosea so someone else might could help you with that.

My Brachypelma baumgarteni molted yesterday, it was totally unexpected. I though I should share pics of her beauty. The first T to molt in my possession, it was exciting. I didn't get to see her molt in action but maybe next time with my B. auratum because shes in pre molt. The molt looks dark because I put it in soap and water to open the abdomen area.

P. striata molted over the weekend while I was out. I knew the molt was coming! Anyways, she hides inside a log deep in the substrate, so for the past 3 weeks i've had to shine a flashlight inside the log to see her (or a glimpse of her). This time, she was WAY darker, so I knew the molt had come!

Pulled out the log to remove the molt, she is looking absolutely fantastic. Only thing is she could have molted last THURSDAY or SUNDAY MORNING, as I got back home Sunday evening May 6th. I really want to feed her but probably should wait until Friday just in case... Her abdomen is so skinny :(

LP stripped yesterday. 1/4" to maybe 1/2", I can't tell for sure without disturbing it. Keeping a spreadsheet for my own curiosity.
