I think these guys are some of the most impressive looking T's right after a molt.

Well, that didn't take long.... Don't gotta worry about retrieving the molt, it's fairly obvious what sex it is. Guess I'm at 2.0.1 Citharognathus hosei for now. It does look like the third one hasn't molted yet. I thought it did last week but on closer inspection that's not the case. Shame no one really even keeps this species, much less breeds them.
I think he's really beautiful. The light fawn color of some OWs is just really pretty to me for some reason. Would love an updated pic when he's stretched out!

Lol that's easier said then done with these. IME, they've been very reclusive, even for Asians. If I find someone with a female and I ship one of them off, I'll share the pics ;) .

0.0.1 Ornithoctoninae sp. koh Phangan molted tonight. It should be approaching 2" DLS, but it's still underground so no pics or measurements.

Waiting for my own Ornithoctoninae sp. Uthai Thani to molt within the week. Is yours also a voracious eater?

Sorry, just saw this. Mine eats well, but prefers to do it in private - it'll wait until I've practically left the room to come out and grab it's meal. It's growing quickly, though, because it never misses a meal!

Young male A. avicularia molted today, in as precarious a position as possible in typical Avic fashion.

I love how even right after molting they still have pink toes...

Here's another one, this time it's my Sahydroaraneus raja sling (Lazuli, unsexed):

Looks to be well over an inch now, maybe 1.5", after a significant size gain. I think I'm going to need to rehouse it soon since it's packed the sub it has excavated all the way to the lid of it's enclosure - there's just a little tunnel under the lid where I can drop prey for it :rofl::

I knew before I got it that these little guys were earth movers, but I wasn't expecting this!
