Wow, 1 of mine has molted 4x's and the other 2 3x's, dont have the exact dates off the top of my head.
Every body that has slings from Johnny should do a write up of conditions, temps, size and feeding schedule and try to do a life study and compare notes.... _________________ “Look down at me and you see a fool;

apparently you need to feed Hogna MUCH more than calisoga

There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
WOW I dont think mine even have hair yet _________________ “Look down at me and you see a fool;

What do you keep her in? Does anyone know how big the males get? Maybe the males don't even get as big as yours. Can you sex these tiny guys with their molts if you sent it to somebody with a microscope?
Mine is definitely over an inch but nothing like Dave's! I just fed her a dubia nymph after reading this post and took a couple pics. I'll try to post them soon.
Johnny, How are the Ethel and Mildrid doing? Do wolf spiders have multiple sacs? _________________ Jules
Ethel is fine but Mildred is in spider heaven feasting on chocolate covered crickets and having sex will the males without the burden of dragging egg sacs nor free-loading kids.
She's in a small KK with coco fibre. That is one fast and skittish spider. She can take down the largest size cricket now. From the size of her booty now I think there's no doubt that she's female. _________________ "I hold your opinion above all others, tribe elder." - Neshan W. Sarkisian
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, like they should be.
Yeah, they are wicked fast and very skittish. Mine got loose on the kitchen counter when I was rehousing it last time and I thought I was going to lose her for certain.
Her are a couple pics of mine (not the same quality of Dave's pics mind you... ) to give you an idea of how she/he is doing.
After giving her the huge cricket, I realized in hindsight that I should have pulled off the cricket"s hind legs. I won't be making that mistake again. I don't normally give her meals that huge. True spiders are such fearless hunters.
I can't believe I raised this spider from the tiny little fruitfly size thing it was when I first got it from Johnny. I think these were all Mildred's babies weren't they? Maybe when somebody gets a MM we could breed it back to Ethel.
That's a *ferocious* girl you have there, Jules! Amazing to see her eat that huge cricket! _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
Wouldn't you just love to be able to have one the size of a blondi? _________________ "I hold your opinion above all others, tribe elder." - Neshan W. Sarkisian

Actually, I got what appears to be a Rabidosa Rabida look-alike which appears to be even larger than Ethel. (that is such an innapropriate name for her, it should be something like "Elvira" or "Medussa" or "Delilah"). I believe I might have a male but is it ok?? I mean, they are from Carolina after all....
Okie Dokie, after 310 days she molted again. She's one big bad girl. And I like that in a spider. Yeah, I know, things grow big and fast at my place. I didn't expect another molt; I thought she was all done with that stuff. Anyway, here's the old gal and once again, thank you Johnny.

Oscar - Yeah, the colors deepened and darkend. I just love that little girl. And what an appetite! If you find a male can I get seconds? _________________ "I hold your opinion above all others, tribe elder." - Neshan W. Sarkisian

OK, this just crazy. Two molts ago I thought she was mature but now she's molted yet again! It's been 126 days since the last molt. The previous one took 310. My neighbor raises chihuahuas and I get the imperfect ones to feed her.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. _________________ "I hold your opinion above all others, tribe elder." - Neshan W. Sarkisian

Didn't I see a giant spider like that in a Godzilla movie one time? ;-) _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
Haha, I love all the roach bits lying around her cage. ::lol:: _________________ "Paranoia driving me insane; Paranoia ripping through my brain; Paranoia making me believe; Paranoia, that somebody's after me!"
