Message: <blockquote data-quote="WhiteRabbit" data-source="post: 73691" data-attributes="member: 4202">Well okay maybe not only /my/ Ts but N8tive's aswell.So His Regalis molted into its Juvinile stage, it is now being called a 'HE' because the stripe down the abdomen is still dark with a white stripe on either side. <3 the new caution tape legs.I have 3 pumpkins left from the original 7. #1(Uno), #4, and #6Uno molted earlier this week and the legs sprawling out of their little den looked pretty big. This is the biggest size jump between instars any of them have had; so i reached in and grabbed the molt.N8tive and i soaked it in water for a little while and i was able to (with tweezers) get the abdomen stretched out enough to get a clear view of the booklungs.A moment ago, Uno came out of the den and my gender identification was correct.Uno is now a HE <3Long auburn legs with hairs that look like thorns, a narrow abdomen and no epigastric furrow to be spoken of.I know its just the juvenile stage but i am about 98% sure. The molt doesn't lie lol.Im still pretty upset that more than half of my collection died because of my ignorance. Losing #5 was the hardest...He/She was the best webber and we'd gotten very attached, talking on the hone frequently about how we couldnt wait to get home and see what they'd made during the day.Anyway, ive been trying to post pictures from my phone but i keep getting an error messege when i attach the photo, TForums tells me theres a 'memory error'...bummer.So far we have now:Females:Esmeralda (zebra leg)Tabitha (curly hair)unnamed rose hairunnamed sun tigerMales:Gary (N8tive gave hime some fancy latin name that i can never remember so i call him Gary)Gary is a pink toe.Raja (black forest scorpion) Regalis (still no name)Uno (H.sp.Colombia Gros)Slings:red kneered rump#4 (h.sp.coG)#6 (h.sp.coG)Indian VioletThe Tanzanian Whip scorpion is doing wonderfully despite her deformed right arm,.shes feeding well and hopefully her next molt with nullify the deformity <3 We fixed her enclosure and now she has plenty of choices in molt anchors.Our Mexican Whip Scorpion sadly passed away a few days ago...she was my favorite.She was a great hunter and we observed her feeding every week like clockwork, which was a rare treat since i guess most people dont see whippers eat often.She went from chasing a tiny cricket with her arms out like a maniac to slumped over, ihave no idea what happend. there was no trial and error there..i really have no idea.But yes, everyone is doing well, id post pictures if i could..and yeah,.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
