Latest Molts:

Grammostola pulchra (our new little male) - sometime last week. (We were out of town.)
Avicularia amazonica - 7/14/11.

Pulchra numero dos.

Picked up a probable male pulchra over the weekend at the reptile show. I'll bring him back after a molt or two to confirm. He's significantly smaller than my female to allow for proper maturation times for breeding. Of all the spiders we are beginning to accumulate (12 T's now), the Grammastola pulchra is still one of my favorites.

Grammostola pulchra Before And After A Molt

After close to a month without eating, our female Grammostola pulchra finally molted (3/18/11). She is beginning to show her adult coloration and the difference is night and day.

Grammastola pulchra

This is the new Brazilian Black Tarantula my wife got me for Christmas. She is young now but will grow up to be huge and jet black (the spider, not the wife). This type of tarantula can be difficult to find for sale and is known for being very docile. I plan on putting together a small breeding group soon.
