My Avicularia versicolor molted today! She just gets more and more colorful every time. I took her out for a few photos once she had several hours to relax. Check out the shine on this baby :)

This one should give a good idea of her size. She's about 3.5", by my guess.

Is yours defensive at all? Mine is nasty-mean. Last time I tried to work with her, she reared up at me.
Not a friendly spider at all.

Mine's a little angel 95% of the time. That's pretty normal for the species, from what I understand.

Mine moulted yesterday! Though it's a fair bit smaller than yours is Mr. Eternal

I got to it shortly after moulting, and took a video of it's heart beating, visible through the soft abdominal tissue. It's fairly big in size though, so I can't upload it to my website really.. I could probably email it to anyone particularly interested though, they're only 4 seconds long or so.

Here's some pics of mine to keep the thread going. I assume mine should look as nifty within a few months! Do you know the gender of yours by the way? Sorry for being retarded, I don't know if "she" indicates female, or just used as a personifcation kind of thing. I'm going with male for my spider on the limited details I've got.

Picture one of three, for scale reference

I'm fairly good at sexing from about 1 inch and up. That said, I tend to get small arboreals wrong.

This spider has looked like it was female from about 1 inch onward. I haven't seen a change yet, so I'm starting to assume I was right :)
