Who's molted today

[x_raphael_xx]

I’m visiting my mum next week, their local pet shop had a female p.regalis and a female boehmei for sale, so they got snapped up on my behalf.
My step-dad rang me in a panic last night … “your spider is on its back!”

My littlest Tliltocatl albopilosum Honduran, Lempa, moulted during the night.

Look for a flap between the front booklungs. Flap = female. No flap = male.

Woke up to my new p.regalis in her hammock.
Been sold as a female so interested in getting my hands on the molt. I think I caught a glance of emboli this morning but I was running off to an invert show so couldn’t look too closely.

Ive had 15 molts this week. Must be the warm weather in the Pacific Northwest.

Here on the East Coast as well.

It is officially the Tarantula Days of Summer (in the northern hemisphere).

Second T in as many days. It has been a while for them. Here is my G. rosea ( apparantly as of fairly recently G. porteri is being considered junior synonymous to G. rosea, which I take to mean that in the wild they are considered the same) captive ones, who knows...

"At present a formal diagnosis for G. porteri is not available in the literature, but no differences are found when comparing the type of G. porteri with G rosea neotype, so we consider G. porteri a junior synonym of G. rosea."

My largest LP has just molted again & its molt is around 8.5 inches. The molt is fresh, but a little brittle, so I could not get an exact measurement. But certainly 8.5 inches & probably a fraction over that.
