Better shots of the Theraphosa apophysis juvenile this morning. I really hope it's female... Much prettier than the blondii I think, albeit rather more leggy.

One nice thing about working until the middle of the night is that I catch more of our #tarantulas out and being active when I get home. Here are some pics of the ones who welcomed me back tonight.

My #Theraphosa blondi finally let me have this #molt and it was both large and intact enough that I am pretty sure I can officially determine that she is female! 🎉
That flappy bit between her front book lungs that is resting on a part of the forceps is, I believe, her spermatheca.

Here is a reference photo for comparison (tho I can't comment on the reliability): https://www.mymonsters.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/THEBLO_FS.jpg
