My H. chilensis male matured last night... :embarrassed: I knew the day would come but now that it's here I'm getting anxious. I want to give him away for breeding but there're so little females here and if I find one I need the breeder to be responsible and cautious because I'd love to get him back afterwards. The thought that I might not see him again breaks my heart. :sad:

Edit:
But isn't he a handsome little fellow? :kiss:

My new addition Grammostola pulchra moulted a couple days ago, looking great in its new suit. It was purchased as a female, but it seems to be male which is rather disappointing.





There may be a tiny tiny uterus externus there, but the exuvium measures 5 cm in DLS. I would have thought it would be more developed/visible at this size. @Vanessa, do you have a photo from when your girl was smaller?

Oh no! Dawn just messaged me this asking me the same thing. Damn. I was waiting for her to give me the size. Mine weren't very visible until about 2.5-3", so a bit bigger than this tyke. Feedback on the message has been male and I am leaning that way myself. How heartbreaking.

Shucks, I was hoping I was just missing something. I'd normally wait for another moult and check again with the bigger size, but who knows when that will be with this species.

:(

My new addition Psalmopoeus cambridgei also moulted and kicked its old skin out. It was purchased unsexed, but was a decent size already and not a tiny spiderling. This one is also male, unfortunately.

My 1" G. pulchra molted. Hasn't come out of its burrow yet so no pictures but I'm very excited to see how my little brown sling has changed. It was a long 62 days of premolt!

I had two molts this week, my A. geniculata and one of my T. albos (actually my very first T)

My B. emilia must have moulted yesterday or the day before, just 2 months after her last moult. That's just one thing this bloody heatwave is good for, I guess. :p
Curiously, that's how I found her moult... carapace still in place. :pompous:

My Pamphobeteus antinous is also in premoult so shouldn't be too long before I can join in again.

My adult Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli also moulted but I can't get a pic.
