Some new molts and a few new pics...

[Boanerges]

Well I woke up today to find that my Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi had molted last night and I found my unsexed Poecilotheria miranda lying on its back getting ready to molt!! I am hoping to confirm my suspicions of my miranda being female with this molt

Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi



Poecilotheria miranda (a couple of days ago)



Poecilotheria miranda (this morning and if you look closely you can see some legs of an Avicularia metallica and sightly see the legs of a Poecilotheria metallica in the containers next to the miranda)



Now for a few new pics:

Poecilotheria regalis 6" female (you can see those yellow bands and you don't want to be putting your hands down there - lol)



Monocentropus balfouri chowing down on a cricket



And lastly the heiny butt of an OBT He/she has settled in quite nicely now and comes out a lot more often but will run right back in it's hide at the slightest disturbance.

Great pictures, and congrats on the molts! the M. balfouri looks like one happy little critter, and I love the single toe of the Avic metallica sticking out in that pic of your P. miranda! Avics and their cute little toes are growing on me...

I got the molt out but it was a little bit damaged. I don't think I seen a flap but this is the first time I tried to look at a pokey molt. Venterally it is still looking female to me. No obvious patch of hairs screaming male from what I can see. I dunno if I was tricked and it's a male or my 10x jewelers loupe is not doing me justice this time Guess I will have to wait until the next molt and check again. I really need to get a microscope though. It would make things a thousand times eaiser...

Honestly, I do not know much about Spiders. just know i want one. XD I think it is the fuzzy that attracts me. but i was wondering. are you not able to hold your Poecilotheria regalis?

i had to look it up and came across this. http://youtu.be/TaZ2v5zS-z8
made me drool. such a gorgeous creature! XD

Wow, the poecilotheria miranda looks amazing. Out of curiosity whats the most aggressive one you've come across? Most of the T's I've been around are the common ones to the pet trade (pink toes, orange knees, rose hairs, and the like). I did know a really grumpy haplopelma lividum that would try to eat my face, hand, or any thing she could get close to. I don't know if that was typical, though, or just her.

Great pics

Poecilotheria's have some of if not the most potent venom of all tarantulas so I would not personally hold one. Not worth the risk to me personally. I have seen people tempt fate and handle them though

Thanks!!! Right now my most aggressive is my female Acanthoscurria geniculata (giant white knee). But my OBT will probably beat her for that title when it gets older. Right now it just runs and hides when disturbed. And that is pretty typical of a lividum They are beautiful T's though


And on a side note I just spent $70 on a microscope so I better see something with this miranda molt!!!!!!!!!

All of them are stunning

Sometimes it seems like some or the majority of a T collection tends to molt around the same time. Earlier this year I had most of my T's molt like crazy. But awesome collection, you're getting some really sweet T's!!

And by the way... I REALLY like that P. regalis!

Thanks Tiff!!!! The regalis female I have is one of my fav's too!!!!! I am really glad I got her!!


And on a side note the stupid microscope I bought is too strong and I can see evry hair folicle BUT not what i need to look at It's going back to the store tomorrow and I give up on sexing the miranda molt for now...

[waltah!]

They creep me the Hell out.....but they are really cool looking as long as they're on my computer monitor
