Male tarantula appreciation

[WolfSpider]

I miss him. You should have seen how beautiful he was before his ultimate molt. I drink to you, sir.
Thanks for giving him a chance @Arachnoclown.

My P smithi molted today....I can’t believe how drastically different he looks as a MM.

 

[WolfSpider]

Nice shot of boxing gloves @Metalman2004. As the old saying goes, a mature male is a totally different spider. It’s so true, isn’t it?
I hope you find him a girlfriend, he is quite handsome.

Just rehoused this little fella last night. I got him when he was a 2nd instar. I haven't seen him since, locked inside his web tunnel system. To my surprise when I got him out he was hooked. Neoholothele incei

What a shame that you have missed so much of his growing. Some of the dwarf Ts don't live long sadly .

Yeah...didnt even think about that until I dug him out. I haven't had him too long either. I have a date lined up for him though...a beautiful gold girl.

Nice to hear that you have a date for your lovely MM I absolutely adore MM Ts I have many but they are all that couldn't be found females so I just love them for the rest of their days

He gave it a shot that’s for sure. Looks like he almost made it. Poor guy, what a warrior.

Sad **** dude.

 

[Nunua]

Sorry for the loss @Arachnoclown Sad thing but also fascinating in my opinion. Nature is weird.

If I would have known this was going on I could have saved him. He was already gone by the time I found him. Bled out trying to chew off his pedipalps.

 

[Whitelightning777]

He's not quite mature yet but he doesn't have long to go!! Maybe one or two molts at most & he's ready to send off to someone.

He looks great in that new cage.
