Latest photos: G. pulchripes, B. auratum, B. vagans and L. parahybana




Top left: Website (L.parahybana) still moults at the rate of once a month, which is the rate most spiderlings moult at. He is going to reach six inches or more by the middle of this year!
Top right: Midnight (B. auratum) has better coloration with each consecutive moult, is about 7cm legspan right now and counting.
Bottom left: The Beast (B. vagans) grows at a phenomenal rate, moulting with the same regularity as my LP and also competing in size of appetite!
Bottom right: Paris (G. pulchripes) has slowed down to a moult every 3-6 months. She is my larges and with her next moult will become an incredible size and need a larger home!

I have to admit I have not been handling the kids as much as I used to, this gives me cause for slight concern as to how i will transplant them into their new homes, the main reason being that at their size anything that enters the container (even a paintbrush) is considered food! I will soon upgrade their homes and need to cross this bridge!
