Woah!

A nicely done molt!

looks like something out of a sci-fi horror flick to me!

Thats totally cool!

Shnifty.

Mle - they do often use T molts in movies when they 'squish' a spider.

I don't get it is that taken from undernieth the tank looking through the glass?:confused:


Freakin sweet lookin!:eyepoppin

I took the tube out for the pix. - and even managed to coax out the exuviae without breaking it. I was just amazed that it managed to wedge itself in there so good and molt with the legs all bent up like that.

Nice looking red knee molt. How's the gimpy leg look now? Normal?

Btw, I've been meaning to ask you what your tarantula species list was these days.

I still don't own a red knee, I'll probably get around to it sooner or later..no way would I pay the $$ that the petstores want for em.

The gimpy leg is now BEEFY to shame Popeye!

I am afraid it has not grown - in fact I lost my versi sling. So very much lately between work/family and site I havent gained anything on any front and confess even the ability to hit any shows has been pretty hindered. I DID however pick up an OBT to go with my Starburst - and the HRGiger speedemon shrieking longipedum is still alive and well despite digging burrows to the point of collapsing them all. Trust me if I don't see that little snot i will NOT be going digging for it anymore.

(EDIT - and indeed bro it is good to see you again!)

Honestly, I can't recall what species you have. I have 22 different species now (of T's) ...I've got to slow down a bit :P

Were finances not what they are I'd likely be with you hehe.

I'm keeping:

Starburst Baboon
Sunburst Baboon
Pink-Toe
Rosehair
Zebra Stripe-Knee
Mexican Redknee
Mexican Flameknee
Salmon Birdeater
and a positively insane longipedum

My son also has a Rosehair of his own. I had a versicolor sling which died en-molt - was really looking forward to seeing that one mature too :( But today while we were at a local store showing Vader (Black Blood - also my son's) to a friend she showed us a well concealed Cobalt Blue . . . . yeah I know - another Haplopelma is all I need lol.

Give a Haplopelma enough substrate to burrow in, and you have a pet hole :)

Now that I've rehoused my cobalt blue so that it's got enough room to burrow happily, I never see it. Much better than it being stresed out and sitting on some kind of wood chips (bought it from a private individual at Lee's swap).

Yeah my little psycho longipedum has numerous times burrowed until the substrate collapse. I only made the mistake of digging for fear it had died once :P

Yeah, I crawled around underneath the shelf last night with a flashlight to check on my Cobalt. (I can see her tunnels that way). She's still alive and kicking. Molted last week..too bad she won't come out for a photoshoot.

I have a few "pet holes" myself.

This is usually all I see of my Starburst Baboon:

But the other night she got might extroverted and had a peek out:

I see even less of the Sunburst - it's webbed the side of its crawlspace up beyond opaque - only the disappearig crickets let me know its still alive lol.
