  • My T Blondi has grown :)

    Good news , one of my Blondi shed "her" skin last night . Im a bit relieved really because she was looking like she was gonna explode ( see pic !!!)

    As you can see , her carapace is visably larger ( how the hell do they do that ?? ) , and she is getting a good size now , about 5-6 inches id say ! , but then i always was one to exagerate size !

    My other Blondi is only hours away too , they seem to be shedding their skins almost to the very day from each other and keeping roughly the same size ! .So both females i hope !!

    Ive tried to get a pic so someone can sex it for me but its not very clear im afraid , any help would be appreciated because i just cant really work out what im looking for .

    I think she was a bit fed up with me at the end tho !

      Nice pics and a beautiful spider.

      Can't really tell the sex from the picture, but here are some pics I posted on another forum of the exuvium of my female T.blondi. Hope it helps.

              Hi Neil,
              If it turns out to be a male I have a female who is currently about 7.5 inches, and I see we live quite close. Maybe we could get them together in a couple of years.

                Its a date Richard lol

                I have two identical size , the other is ready to burst also so maybe your girl will have two boys to contend with !!

                Am i right in saying that if i have a male and female , will the male mature and die before the female matures ? I bought them both together at christmas and they are like twins

                Hmmm , in saying that , they may be from the same eggsac , id better check that with the person i bought them from !

                  My other blondi has also shed his/her skin

                  As you can see they are virtually the same size but todays blondi has a bigger carapace .
                  Ive inspected both skins and going on what ive learnt from other people and sexing threads , they BOTH look male to me !

                  i hope im wrong
