Well my tarantula is finally molting. I was waiting for this to happen and now that it finally has, I'm kind of happy. Now I can finally figure out what gender it is so I can name it. And also I finally was able to catch the crickets lurking in my T's pvc pipe. I guess they were attracted by the tarantula laying prone on the ground. I didn't want them nibbling on my freshly molted tarantula so I manged to remove them both. Admittedly, I had to mortally wound on of the crickets so it would run away but still, it's all good.

It's a Chilean Copper, Paraphysa scrofa. Imagine a G. Rosea. Only a more redish brown color, coppery, if you will. :p Make it smaller and you have a Chilean Copper.
