So, two of my bigger Ts molted this weekend, and i thought id try preserving the exuvium!
I spread them out nicely and stuffed a ball of tissue paper into the abdomen,
Glued everything together nicely. Then istuck them onto a piece of plastic file divider.

Looks pretty cool, not bad for a first attempt!
Now i can stick onto my sons bedroom wall.

B.albopilosum 16cm




A.brocklehursti 14cm

Sorry having trouble posting the pics, ill try post them again!

Sounds very interesting Mike.
I have used hair spray before, but then it looks like a shiny version of a spider.

Have you made then smaller?
It tends to help when uploading, if the photos are resized.

If you still have an issue posting pictures, you can email them to me at thunderboltje@hotmail.com and I will up load them for you.

Thanx cas, ive come right now!

Cool man :thumbsup:

Looks good, and that is an awesome idea sticking them on the wall.
if you make the cardboard the same colour as your wall and when you have people come over they will get a such a surprise walking into the house. :evilgrin: :angel:

We had a member on the forum that had a growth stage of a B. boehmei stuck onto a piece of paper., that was also very intresting to see how the spider had grown.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing mike75, I have patience, but not that kind of patience to do that, did you do the legs too?
