Gavin's Picture Thread

[Gavin van den Berg]

Hi all,

just wanted to share some of the T's in my collection.

First up: P. Regalis (about 6cm DLS) - Freshly molted

Secondly: C. Cyaneopubescens - GBB (About 8.5cm DLS) - Nice and plump.

She was repairing her webbing after she destroyed it the day before to get to some food.

Will be posting some more pics soon...

Both T's are awesome, the Chromatopelma for colour and the Poecilotheria for its stunning patterns or ornamental designs.

Very nice lookin T's there.

My B. Vagans eventually emerged from its burrow, freshly motled:

(I saw the new legs on 2014-10-19 already, but this was only taken on 2014-10-30)

Just an update, my GBB molted last night, so I will post a pic of her new suit as soon as she comes out of her web tunnel.

Here is my B. Boehmei (freshly motled), probably around 8.5cm DLS now, haven't measured her yet:

Can't wait to see the GBB updated,so get going take those photos haha.

I can't wait either. All I saw were bright blue legs this morning, so hopefully she (hopefully a she, will try and sex the exuvia once I get it out) will show off her new self soon.

I truly hope it is female,if not I have a female that will suit a possible male.

Sounds like a plan to me Martin. Will let you know and will post a pic of the exuvia on here.

At what size do they normally mature? I'm assuming mine will be about 10cm DLS now.

If I remember correctly 5-6inches,I will double check for you.

Just check the spermathecae and see if they are darkened. Best way to tell if its mature

As promised, here is my GBB after its recent molt:

I went to my local pet store looking for small mealworms for my smaller T's and ended up leaving with a new addition...

C. Fasciatum (Recently molted as there was still a molt in the container):

Just an update:
Checked on my T's last night and found that my P. Regalis had a successful molt. I suspected that it was in premolt but wasn't 100% sure. It looks huge now, probably around 8cm DLS. I removed the molt and will try to sex it this evening.

Will post a picture of it as soon as I get a decent shot of it. Its abdomen has a very prominent black stripe in the middle which leads me to think its male, but I could be mistaken. Also, its starting to show some yellow on its front legs eventually. Loving this Pokie.

Another update,

My N. Chromatus molted over the weekend as well. It's really leggy now and should be around 10cm DLS after the molt. Will post a picture of it as soon as I can.

Got home last night and found that my B. Vagans had molted, it's not a very good picture but will get a better one when it comes out of its burrow:
