Yes sir, just happened last night. I could never get a straight answer out of the breeder on what instar the two are at; I'm guessing four.

3 into 4? Did you get a chance to measure them? I could give you a good estimate from measurements.

I'd say 3.5

That's adult size. Is that an estimate from mandible to telson or from pedipalps to telson?

Pedipalp to telson, approximate. Here, this will definitely help my amatuer estimates..

i4-i5, 2.5" - you've got one or two more molts to maturity.

Thanks Lester, appreciate it. Stood by and watched for about 1.5 hours on this one. Still on a watch for the two LQ's to go anytime.

I stood around and watched my adult male P. irminia clean himself for an hour last night - I need a barstool so I can just sit in front of my enclosures and watch my animals do stuff all night.

Yeah, I sat on the floor with my back against the fridge and fell asleep (third shift worker) waiting for this one. Got two LQ's taking forever and a A. australis about to go as well next.
