Happy Days
Alrite Andy,
Congrats on the female smithi mate!
My l.para shed today and I checked the moult and its a male.
Bit of a downer because I wanted a femme fatale but still my mate has a female so at least he won't go without getting any lol.

Great news and picture Andy. I'm hoping my smithi will moult in the next few days. The bald patch turned black about a week ago. So fingers crossed.Gloria my little Brachypelma smithi.Comment
