She might. If you are seeing dirt new dirt being moved around, she's not molting yet. At that size, they do molt pretty quick. I have never caught a little one in molt.
Most likely she will throw her molt out of her burrow. So don't freak out if you see it and think she is dead.

Nope didnt work, looks like I gotta do it the old-fashioned way.

My red rump still hasn't molted. I hope she does soon tho!

I'll check them too mike. I don't think any of mine have gone yet.

I saw a molt in one of the OBTs. They need to slow down :p

juvie P. irminia that I got a little creative with (Ancient Aliens fans will get it)

A. versicolor sling. It hasn't eaten for almost 2 weeks which is really odd so I'd like to think it's getting ready to shed which is good because it hasn't shed since last august and I wanna see its adult colors already!

P. metallica sling
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...5metallica.jpg

B. boehmi. Has darkened up from its bald spots and will be shedding in the next few days which is good because it hasn't shed since last July and hopefully I can find out if it's male or female!

G. pulchripes(formerly G. aureostriata). Female I've had for almost 10 years, it's the same one on my profile pic(if you wanna see a larger pic of it)

E. uatuman sling. This one I bought by accident thinking it was a Skeleton tarantula(E. murinus) and didn't pay attention to it being an emerald skeleton instead of just Skeleton.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/3uatuman.jpg

G. pulchripes is way underrated I think. She looks great.

irminia are ones of my favorites for sure.
I'm hoping to pair mine but my little one is looking like a female too.

That last one looks really cool! I'm not sure If I have ever seen them.

Ephebopus uatuman - Emerald Skeleton tarantula. I'd never heard of it either(I think) until I got this one lol. It's pretty calm has never thrown a threat pose, it's definitely skittish and super fast. It's up against its deli cup chillin and I'll turn the cup to see it better and it'll do a lap around the entire cup in like a second! I don't even see it run!

I'm looking that one up and adding it to my list.
Good luck with your molts and getting girls!

lol talk about jinxing it. My A. versicolor just shed :D it must've shed not too long after i posted the pics because it wasn't like that when i posted like that. i looked at the skin from the naked eye and it appears that chances are I've got a male...my 3rd one I've kept and once again it's a male :mad::taz:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...IMG_0013-1.jpg

I don't see the little flap indicating it's a female so this is screaming male at me

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ljr/3versi.jpg

I'm not sure lol he looks pretty tho! How much less of a life span do male avics have?

Hard to tell from the pic but I don't see anything that would make me guess at female. :(

All depends on how you raise them carlson. Keeping them cooler and not feeding them as much, they won't grow as fast.
After a male does his final molt, I would say he has about a year or so..?

Carlson - my Chacos have not molted yet.
Mike - 2 of my vagans did molt.

C. darlingi update.
First meal with me. They all have made little webs.

Sweet, i hope mine does soon!

I think that if the condensation in my gbb's tank doesn't go away im gunna take out the substrate, bake it to dry it out, then let it cool and put it back in. I read that they like it dry and that premix just has a lot of moisture in it so like 1/3 of the wall on her little cup has condensation on it. I have 6 holes in the lid too

K Wednesday ill crush a head an put one in an hope she takes it

I'm pretty sure it's a male since that's what others have told me. One males mature, time varies. I've heard of males lasting only 2 weeks, to rarely making it to 1-2 years. When I had a mature male L. parahybana he last a little over a year as well as when I had a mature male B. emilia. At least I know people that have mature female versis so once he matures I'll contact them to see if they're interested in a breeding project.

Good idea Mike. Don't keep her 100% dry because she is still small. So her humidity will need to stay higher until she is around 2" then you slowly move them over to being dry.

My MM A. avic lasted about 3 months. :(
I bought him as a her.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/29/ezuraded.jpg here's what she's got going on pretty sure that's all from under the wood

Yeah give her a dead one this week and see if she takes it. Just leave it in over night.


My Curly Hair is just got done molting. Just missed it!! Still on her back.

White Plains is still the best show!

Ive never been to that one...always wanted to, tho! What makes it the BEST show, tho?

Theres the most vendors (out of all the New England shows), its in a BIG space so the aisles are wider, a lot of bigger breeders like BHB and NERD go, and its more centrally located so its only 1.5hrs away from me.

I hate to sound like a prick, but hamburg just gave me a really bad vibe. They had a bunch of randomn tables setup close together, the aisles were small, there was a lot of vendors with just a couple things on their table, there was a bunch of people outside smoking right in front of the place, there was a food court thing set up in the back with tables and everything that took up a bunch of space, and a lot of people weren't even really breeders. Just like joe schmoe selling 3 corn snakes and a copperhead he caught in his back yard. It was so crowded that at one point an aisle was like gridlocked with people for like a full minute. I was stuck in between a bunch of people and that freaked me out. I don't like being packed in between a bunch of people. I'm all for being the ham in between the bread, but the bread better be two... never mind... lol

The GBB's cup seemed kinda crowded so i took out a couple leaves and only left him with like 2. Im hoping this makes him web up more and i can see him better. :)

Here are some babies mike.
The little white dots.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/30/je8eje2y.jpg

Is your GBB in a jar or in a vial still?

T-ball!!

I'll have to look for little white dots later.

I have him in one of those black screw top cups:
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/30/edyju5yd.jpg

True, true lol...some of the tables have seemed like they emptied their garage of all their old pet stuff, and stuck it on a table lol
