I wonder whether my A. Versicolor was just fasting for some reasons, because there doesn't seem to be any moult in her web. Strange... At least she's eating again and comes out a bit more:

... and she's smeared poop all over her tank, yuck!

My baby Amazonica looking gorgeous. It's destroyed its web for some reason. All the better for me, I can see it more now, lol

Again with the poop! Avics!!!

My beautiful post-moult GBB (boy)

GBB needs to moult soon. I've not fed her for 3 weeks, yet she's bursting

Wow, he's stunning

Give her one more feed. Read a post a while back that said sometimes that last feed seems to trigger them.

Oh, I'll try that then, maybe a small wax worm (if she takes it). Thanks

 

[Kymura]

Worth a try. Worst case somebody else gets her uneaten snack

My beautiful G. Actaeon having a meal

She always does a very enthusiastic bum wriggle dance with her food

My LP looking more like a proper LP now. Where has my Pipsqueak gone lol?

B. Boehmei finally moulted

Still looks like a girl

 

[Kymura]

Looking lovely and adorable as always!

Lovely Ts and fantastic photos. Looking awesome all of them. You are obviously taking really really good care of them all. Stunning ☺

 

[Fuzzball79]

Rehoused my LP juvie the other day.
It was "fun" with the little bawbag kicking like a donkey. Luckily at just around 3" her hairs don't seem to affect me at all, but I think I'll need a hazmat suit and mask for when she moves into her adult tank in the future lol.
Let me out, so I can kill you!

Come closer and I will dismantle you!

Might aswell go exploring

I think my larger one, Mole will last out until next moult where he is but then he'll definitely need a larger home as he's a good 7" now. My Pip is still smaller that Mole but hasn't moulted since last August.

Another lovely set of pictures. Love it that we all use discarded cricket tubs to catch and rehouse the T's. Just like cupping a house spider but on a much bigger scale.....☺
My genic does not fit in them anymore though so have to use a sandwich tub. Don't tell the kids though ha ha

I'm not looking forward rehousing my Genic. She's in a plastic faunarium at the moment, but because I've got the spiders in the living room I'm moving them all into nicer glass tanks one by one. She's docile but I don't know how well she'll take to being moved lol.
For now I've got 3 in their permanent tanks (A. Versicolor (thank God, lol, cos she's a cow), T. Gigas (I'd prepared for a rehouse from hell due to reading things on the web, but she stayed inside her log during the whole process and my G. Rosea (who just sat and let it all happen without any fuss).
As I said, if my LP keeps her character up, her next rehouse will be a PITA, so will my GBB, because he flicks if I just open the tub to feed him lol.

I usually find the ones I'm expecting to be difficult are the ones that behave but the quiet one surprise you

 

[Fuzzball79]

LP definitely settled in

Beautiful G. Actaeon

A sp Amazonica

I think there is an escape plot going on. I'm going to need a cooler and a miniature baseball

 

[Enn49]

They're lovely especially the G. Actaeon

 

[Fuzzball79]

They're lovely especially the G. Actaeon

I love her, too (I cautiously call her a "she", her moult looked female). She's so chilled and never hides. I don't know why they're not more popular?

 

[Fuzzball79]

2 rehouses today:
B. Boehmei into a bigger tank and A. sp. Amazonica into the Boehmei's old tank (arboreal tank you could turn on its side):

 

[Fuzzball79]

T. Gigas is hiding a lot at the moment. I think she'll molt soon (unless she wants to do what the Versi did and lay a dud egg sac lol)

Another one due a molt, A. Geniculata. She's such an easy spider, eats, drinks, isn't too aggressive, doesn't hide, etc:

And no. 3 who should molt, she's now moved her web from one place to another and just sits in there all day.

Don't forget to take a picture of me, too!

I quite like this photo of my Rosea. I only noticed the mirror image when I went through the pictures

Little one settled in nicely. I don't know if the expression "confident" could be used in regards to spiders' behaviour, but this Avic sling has never shown any issues with rehousing and settling in.

Still in premolt (she doesn't flick "hair" so doesn't have a bald patch to tell how far she is)

"OI YOU!! You haven't fed me today!"

An emergency rehouse. GBB boy seemed a bit under the weather recently, wouldn't eat just seemed not himself. Turned out there were (grain) mites in his tub , caught it in time before it spread further and he seems "happier" now. No mites found anywhere else.

Started webbing straight away (he'd not webbed neither for a while)
