View attachment 247456 View attachment 247457 View attachment 247458 My Pterinopelma sazimai gave me a nice awaited for gift lol - first time T owner long time lurker lol.
1st pic is when i got her 1 month ago(she didnt eat but then her abdomen went black so i knew pre molt and left her to it)
2nd pic is 'her' first shed
3rd her at the moment- still hasnt eaten but looks plump so moving her from pill bottle to small 8x12 cm tupperware box with cross ventilation- holla at me if you think pill bottles still best lots of conlficting info lol but shes more of a burrower at the moment so may try anyhow.
-also the abdomen is completly black now but tge hairs have
Keep it in the pill bottle, they can catch prey much easier, and they grow faster, as any prey offered is right there in front of it, I've had this conversation with @Exoskeleton Invertebrates regarding B. albo's and their enclosures, he swears by it - and you know what he's right - 100% - I'm keeping mine in a 2oz deli cup, it will stay in the deli cup for at least 2 more molts, it's only recently molted into a huge 1.5cm monster - LOL

Another molt from my H. laticeps, they just won't stop, not that I'm complaining, they're just as fast growing as my C. minax.

N. chromatus sling. It's too early to tell, but it's looking about 3/4 inch. And two of my other Ts are definitely in premolt, and another two/three are possible premolts

Squirt, my juvenile female Psalmopoeus cambridgei from @cold blood, molted today! (I guess that big dubia roach she ate a couple of weeks ago really filled her up.)

There is a much bigger-looking spider under that dirt curtain.

My p regalis molted today.

I got it as a 1" sling in December. It's now over 4".

I hope so. What size did you acquire and how long to get to this size? I have a couple slings at 1.5"
Mine slings grew like weeds from 1.5. Male hooked out last month at 5-6" and my female is pushing 7" easy.
received them on 04/06/16 female molts; 05/08/16, 07/02/16, 08/16/16, 10/14/16, 12/22/16, 03/29/17 and 06/11/17

Thrixopelma ockerti - finally, after months and months of premolt. I've got to stop feeding my AFs so much, because I've a few more that could molt already.
P. ornata #1, suspect male - if he would show himself I could perhaps confirm that but he's sitting in his hide on top of his molt. Sigh.
Omothymus schioedtei #3. I've got 3 slings and everyone said they'd probably be all male, because this species allegedly produces more males than females, but from coloring alone I guess I have two females and one male (this one being the second female)

Grammostola pulchripes! Finally. Must be a blue moon or something, I thought this day would never come. :D
