2015...

Wow I didn't realize how long it's been since Swixter's last molt! He just had his first molt of 2015 (April 13th to be exact)!

Here are some photos.

Wow he's getting big! Great looking tarantula. My g. pulchripes hasn't molted in 13 months, I think she may be ready to breed after her next molt. I hope so, she's going to be my first breeding project.

Yeah! Thanks! I agree, he's a beauty. Oh wow, quite a while! How long have you had her? That'd be awesome to breed her!

Thanks! Yeah it's a lot of fun to make threads like this and to see the amazing differences in size and coloration.

He's looking great. It amazes me how those tiny non-descript slings blossom into such stunning creatures.

I've had her about 2 years, she had some size on her when I got her. Here she is in January of this year.

His second molt this year!

August 13th

He's gotten kind of pouncy! He thinks I'm food! So I held him on the bark lol. I get all itchy once I touch stuff in his cage so I wear rubber gloves too. Look how big he has gotten! He is amazing. I like getting up-close shots of his eyes.
