P.Regalis (Sam) molted

Checked on Sam this evening after leaving him at a corner for a whole week and found out he molted

This beast grow really fast, every month he will molt into a giant, suprise me with his size in every molt

He outgrow his enclosure in no time and looks like i ll need a new exo terra arboreal tank for him soon...

Some pictures to share

The color is getting darker, typical color for a male

Beautiful webbing

Boxing glove?

Sam was purchased as a 1.5inch sling on november 2008 and he was name after my late dad cause i receive him on the day my dad passed away due to pancreas cancer...

Luckily it turned out to be a male else the name Sam would not suit a female regalis =p

Anubis eating

Finally got some new batch of crickets

It's hard to get hold of crickets since i moved back to my hometown

Need to walk very far only can buy, luckily my mom working nearby and she help me to get RM2 worth of crickets today

Just a small update with 2pictures to share

Ever since i got Anubis, i have never seen him so willingly hunting for prey when i drop it

Usually i need to hand feed him only he will take

Leiurus Quinquestriatus (Anubis) Photoshoot

I'm so proud of my L.Quinquestriatus now

Few weeks ago i found it moving like a drunkard and when i try teasing it with a tweezer it started to act strangly and i notice it became very weak

At 1st i suspect he might have suffer from dyskinetic syndrome but i cant recall that i use any chemical stuff in my room and its weird cause he is the only invert in my whole collection that showing such symptom

I got so worry bout him and even prepared a container to preserve him in my freezer if he pass away but to my surprise, on 26th May, just after i finish moving back to my hometown i found that he molted! 

I was so happy as i expected it to die but it molted, guess i worry too much

Now 1week after he molted, he started to show his stunning golden like coloration just like the one rafiqos posted in his flickr album

I love him to death now, here are some pictures to share

This is him before it molt...

Freshly molted (Sry bout the quality, using phone camera)

And after a week, there he is with his stunning color

This is an angle that rafiqos love the most, dedicated to him

Molting R.Junceus

Just now while surfing the internet i notice Nadare (R.Junceus) is shaking its metasoma violently from side to side while walking on a piece of vertical bark

At first i thought something is wrong with her until she begin positioning herself vertially and placed both of her chela in front of its carapace

Straight away, i noticed she is going to molt and i immediately spray some water on the wall of the tank as the substrate are pretty dried up, my bad :( 

Here are some pictures to share

The starting position...

The carapace cracked and she started pulling out her chela and legs

Legs out

Showing me a double peace sign telling me she is ok although her chela is badly twisted in this picture

Almost there...

And there she is out of her old case

With the molt just now, it make her 6instar now

She was purchased for a breeding project with few of my other friends hoping that we can get hold of this beautiful species in our country in the future without importing them

Just one more molt to go and she is ready to have some sexy time! 

Until next time...
