Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tarantula Trooper" data-source="post: 241833" data-attributes="member: 37740"><p>That is one freshly molted H. Pulchripes!! I now have 2 males, undetermined Juvie, and my female Krysos! She is one of my few named spiders. Tried to breed her but all she did was hover over like she wanted to eat him. Shark tanked him in a catch cup with her! He never drummed or showed any signs of wanting to mate. He was terrified almost the entire hour while he was in. Totall stress pose. Can't say I blame him. She is hyper food responsive and I have no doubt she would have consumed him.   One of the males literally just molted and got his emboli! Hope the other I care for turns out to be another female! These are a fantastic old world spood and just sooooo beautiful!! Love all my baboons though. Baboon slings all seem to be built like little tanks as well. Haven't lost many slings since going T crazed but not a one has been a Baboon baby. Funny when I started every one was a Baboon! A OBT, Monocentropus Balfori, and a King Baboon who I just recently lost. He was male. Took nearly 6 years for him to mature and was listed at 1.5" DLS when I got him. Miss him dearly. He became a sweat heart for a KB. Added pictures of my girl!</p></blockquote><p></p>
