What a lovely *squints* pink blob you've got there. Just gorgeous.Back-to-back sling molts this weekend -- today it was T. sp violaceus "T3" who showed up looking like rice noodles.
Obligatory terrible photo:

Gotta love a tiny clump of skinny white noodle legs... I'll see y'all over in the "Stretch!" thread when they graduate to full-on facehugger I'm sure!What a lovely *squints* pink blob you've got there. Just gorgeous.
How long have you had this specimen? This appears to be what was imported as O. sp Ranong Blue two years ago.0.1 Ornithoctonus aureotibialis (probably subadult) crawled out today fresh and clean, molted earlier this week.

Got her and her early diseased male sac mate last year (15 of October to be precise) as slings. I had similar impression when I first saw her but I think it's just the lighting tricking us, appears aureotibialis to me from a different angle/position.How long have you had this specimen?

Agreed, I have both species and the secondary pictures are clearly O. aureotibialis. Here's a side by side comparison as well, for anyone curious:Got her and her early diseased male sac mate last year (15 of October to be precise) as slings.

My greatest fear with these is that I'll miss it, and their opportunity to mate along withDoesn't look mature yet to me. They get REALLY leggy when mature...
1.0 Heterothele gabonensis MM
Tiny little mature male, Cobalt. So gangly, he really doesn't know what to do with those long...
It's hard to miss - the leg situation is ridiculous when they mature...My greatest fear with these is that I'll miss it, and their opportunity to mate along with
