Wow those are some very unique colors in the after shot! How long does a molt take to completely come off? How often does this one molt?

 

[Shaina]

Well it took her about a week and a half to molt completely and she's only molted the one time since I've had her and I've had her about 9 or 10 months now.

I still can't get over the coloring in that second photo. It looks like a completely different spider!

 

[Shaina]

That's what I said! I went to feed her and saw her molt and thought "OH NO! She's dead!" and I opened her enclosure and reached in and she comes out of no where scaring the living bejeezus out of me because she didn't look like the same spider lol! But she's definitely the same spider indeed

Can you share some photos of Dibella's enclosure and setup? I'd love to see a video of her feeding also!!

Lovely looking T. and looking good in her new clothes too.

Here's a video of Dibella having her lunch! She a very voracious eater!

Here are a couple pictures of Dibella's enclosure, as well as the enclosures of my other 3 Ts. Dibella's enclosure is made of acrylic and I find she really likes it! Ethereal's (Metallic Pink Toe) and Ember's enclosures are not permanent (plastic containers). Ember is still very small and I'd lose her in a larger enclosure. And I am waiting to purchase an arboreal enclosure for Ethereal when I find the right one! Anyone know any good places to look for arboreal enclosures? I'll get pics up of my other Ts very soon

Are there any improvements you think I should make (aside from the plastic containers of course)? Comments are welcome!

Great looking brachy! I also like that acrylic set up. How big of an arboreal set up are you going to need?
