Neat little guy! What species is that? I love the orangish colour on him.

My Brachypelma boehmi has done this prior to a molt. Great pic. I haven't ried to take pics of my slings cause they are so tiny! Good job.

its a brachypelma smithi, (mexican red-knee), its about 3/8" and is pink because its mostly bald.:)
thanks Dani33, I was surprised the pics came out so clear...I can't wait to take a pic without the web partially hiding him.
Do you notice that little orange glob near its head?...that is some kind of a mucousy substance. Could it be a venom deposit because I disturbed him?...
