Just sexed my Chile Rose

[Phil Rea]

She moulted successfully yesterday, and although I couldn't get the skin out before she'd mashed it a bit, I'd say female



I hope I'm looking in the right place or I'm going to look very stupid

[Phil Rea]

Here she is, just before moulting, bless 'er

Glad everything went ok!
How does everyone store the exuviums? I just can't throw it away, could be a long long time before she does that again.

[Phil Rea]

Wow scary They look almost identical

Glad yours went OK too

I store all my old skins in empty cricket tubs each spider has its own tub.

We've just had another moult this evening. Our juvenile Costa Rican Blue Front (Aphonopelma Crinirufum) has just finished moulting.

Let's hope we can sex him/her from the exuvium.

Two moults in two days! Oh the stress of it

You just wait till its things like 3 in 24 hours then your know bout the stress of moults. Shudders and hopes hers dont do that to her ever again.

I reckon I'd go loopy if that happened

I keep my moults in either cartdor or tesco oval ice cream tubs, the shape is perfect for keeping the legs straight, the bigger ones e.g, blondi,parahybana I have the very large cake type boxes so they don't break the legs off.

Thanks Mark, and thanks for the 'Ice Cream' tub idea Mary
