Finally saw my A. Versi out after molt

TBH, I cheated a bit by turning its tank around. He (or she) had been sitting out every morning, but every time I tried to look closer or take a photo would retreat back into his web.
Finally caught him out this morning, yay:

This was not long before the molt, what a change

Wow. Great T! Versicolors are very beautiful. What molt is she now (I mean the number)? I'm interested in what stage of their development they get their adult coloration. Hope it's a female.

I wish I could tell you. When I got him (her), he was about 1"+ DLS. I purposely bought a grown on sling, as I heard so much about their fragility as small ones. He's molted twice with me and is now about 3", so has grown quite a bit. After "first" molt you could just see a hint of red hairs on the legs and abdomen depending on how the light hit. Now it's a very obvious colour change.
