New T slings - Psalmopoeus irminia

A parcel just arrived this morning with my Sun tigers. I've been looking all over for them and they are finally here! So chuffed and i haven't even opened the packaging yet lol (hope they made the trip).

[insert explisive here] they are BIG! nearly [insert explisive here too] myself when it came out of the tissue must be about 3cm. Lol gotta find something other than the 24p asda tubs i had prepared!

Ha-ha! Congrads there then always good to get something that's bigger than you expect Are they 3cm across the legs or the body? Mine are about 2.5 cm across the legs now although funnily my second sling seems to have moulted bigger than my first.

Thanks Chaika! Tell me about it! Here's a piccy

Cuteness! Don't they just look like little miniature adults already

It looks like they've already got the Nike swooshes. Nice!

Yeah, can't wait 'till mine get those!

I just witnessed one of my juvi's molting. He's fully out of his old skin now, but is on the floor on his back. Is this normal?

Hope its ok in the morning!

it might just be tired out. dont disturb it. sometimes it can take a while for them to recover enough to flip over

Un-justly concerned, its fine! shame i didnt have a decent enough camera to capture it properly.

Can you tell the sex from the shed?

yes it if it is big enough and kind enough to leave you a shed in good condition.

Which is rather hit and miss with a 2" juvi! they aren't always that kind hahaha!

You can leave an exuvium floating in water for a day or two to soften it up -- then you can gently tease it apart without it cracking (though it may tear if you're not careful).
