Found one yet? I have a pulchra that is about 2.75”. Don’t want to get rid of it but I’ve been having to downsize a bit lately.

How many slings are you expecting?
Still available? I’m interested!

Casey, I have a G. inhering and she doesn't have any hint of the stripes on the knees. I looked them up and none of the pics I find have the knee strips either. Educate me? Is this a specific locality or something?

That's just because her exoskeleton hasn't hardened up yet in that pic. You can't see the leg striping now. You know when a tarantulas appendages appear white in color after a fresh molt and then darken later on? That's what is happening in that pic of her.
This photo was taken almost immediately after she flipped over. It took almost a week for the white color to disappear (or for her exoskeleton to harden)....

Wow. Thank you. I had no idea that would happen. I'll look for that when mine molts again. Mine has molted twice, but I just left her alone behind her cork bark. Now I'll be trying to sneak a peak!That's just because her exoskeleton hasn't hardened up yet in that pic. You can't see the leg striping now.

Its awesome. I think their exoskeleton is entirely white when they molt....much like a scorpion or something....even crickets (when they molt) are white. I think with tarantulas, we can't see their entire white exoskeleton due to their setae but if it were completely shaved or they didn't have it, i feel they would look much like crickets do post molt.

There’s no turning back now. You know someone is going to attempt it.
