citrusxsandfire.webs.com Tarantula update request by tarantulaHEINZ www.youtube.com Had a few molts over the holidays and an update request, so i thought what better timing then to show off the newly molted tarantulas and a couple of other updates. The following recently molted: Acanthoscurria geniculata Aphonopelma hentzi Brachypelma smithi Brachypelma vagans (about 12 slings) Chilobrachys andersonii Heteroscodra maculata Lasiodora parahybana Phormictopus cancerides On another note, my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (GBB) are starting to show color in there legs. This is a very fast growing species. I bought them about 10 weeks ago, they were 0.5". They have molted 3 times since and are pushing 2" now. I have another half a dozen more sub adults in pre-molt now. Just a brief update. Ifyou have any questions, special requests, send me a PM.
