Young Geoffrey moulted again with the heatwave we've been having this last week or so, not the dramatic doubling in size like on the 4th December, but he's a real boy now! No longer a tiny sling intimidated by the smallest crickets available. I see a couple of dead crickets now, so only around 5 were eaten between moults.

@Enn49 , reading your posts in this thread is an education in spider diversity. I have not even heard of most of your species, but I've made it a hobby to look them up whenever you post a new one that I don't know, which is almost every time. So many great species...

I do have many of the common Ts too but it's fun to try keeping the more unusual ones, as long as they don't cost too much. It's one of the perks of being able to buy from Europe..

Ditto @Enn49 theres some really beautiful Ts out there(and you probably have most of them!) but I feel if somethings reasonably priced its worth having,can understand breeders paying mega bucks for Ts if they are breeding them-ive never bought from Europe..maybe I should try;)

Suspect male - I didn't saw epiandrous fusillae in the molt, but I'm pretty sure I saw an arch and extra silk glands near the upper book lungs when looking the ventral while he was still lying on his back.
