My little Psalmopoeus sp. Panama sling finally molted today. Hoping to sex it if I can retrieve the molt.

1.0 Phormingochilus everetti molted in the last day or 2. Should be better than 4" DLS now:

1.0 Psalmopoeus reduncus is flipped right now. He was 4.25" already, so he may mature this time.
The P. reduncus male did indeed mature - he's extra floofy now.

I have to ask why the b. auratum in brackets in the middle?
I bought B. auratum, but it turns out that the well known vendor I got it from about 16 months ago shipped N. chromatus instead. Mixed up their slings, I guess. It seems like a bunch of people had the same issue. The crappy part is with these NW slings you can't really tell it's the wrong one until they start showing color, and that can take a year or more...

This one is going to be beautiful, though, so I'll take it.

P. Metallica. Now around 2.5 inches and looking gorgeous.

(Photo at night so colours not sharp).

I would not be surprised if it turns out male based on the folio pattern

Edit:

Came home to 2 molts

one of my O sp Valhalla (Ivar, because it came in missing a leg) molted today. 8153EB21-45B6-493B-84E9-8663D32CB183.jpeg

And my big female Hati Hati molted as well. She’s stuffed in a burrow though and although I can see her I can’t get a good angle for the camera.

They are! ppl knock Nhandu but I think they are very striking, I have a chromatis and caraponensis both I think are great sp to keep . Before you know it you will have a few 😁 great eaters and idk bout other ppls bit mine are super chill even my 3cm chromatis is out on display all the time , and my caraponensis saf Namaari rearranged her viv so its basically 1 large crater she sits over the top of 24/7 she never bolts or gives me tude and is quite striking imo she's one of my favourites 😊

Now I just need to wait until she makes an appearance for her photo op.
