April 4, 2001:
Sorry about the lack of updates. I probably won't be updating every single molt in the diary anymore, or updating the "upcoming molts" section, but I'll still track them on the individual spider pages and mention them on the main page news section.

I put Speck in a shark cage with one of the females yesterday, and I saw them responding to each other strongly last night, so I should be able to let them go at it in a day or two.

There have been some big taxonomic changes, notably Pseudotheraphosa apophysis is now Theraphosa apophysis. Also Brazilopelma is now synonymous with Nhandu making Braziloplema coloratovillosum Nhandu coloratovillosum.
