Going to find him a mate?

It’s a female.

It’s a female.

Those pedipalps scream mature male. T. blondi and T. stirmi do not possess tibial hooks as adult males, only T. apophysis does from the genus (hence the name, as the 'hooks' are known as apophyses).

For some reason I read 2020 as the current year, so that is an old moult anyway.

Those pedipalps scream mature male.

Ohhhhhh my bad, I thought you were talking about my very last post, about Pamphobeteus antinous.

Yes, you are right, T. blondi was indeed a male, I traded it with P. rufilata sling as soon as it matured.

 

[dangerforceidle]

That P. antinous lady is gorgeous!

No difference after a molt or anything, but the difference in booty after having a good drink and a good meal.

3 years of patience. Finally had those beautiful adult colors.

Not really of a pic of a sling to an adult, but before and after a molt for my H gigas. It's a pretty big color change, from normal h gigas sling colors to the darker adult brown.

7.5 months later, after her last molt, a few days ago:



They grow up so fast...
