Yay for Sheila!

When we first moved down here to Nevada, our tarantula, Sheila, Had a little accident and broke two of her legs. She limped around for a while until she molted. At that point the front leg was then missing entirely, and the one behind had only grown half way. We were sad:-(

But she just recently molted again (they do this about once a year), and we are happy to announce that her limbs have been restored! Well, they're not perfect. They still have some growing to do. But we have hopes that within time she will fully regrow both limbs.

So here are the latest of Shelia, our beloved Chilean Rose tarantula!

Isn't she gorgeous!
The shell. If you look closely int he red spot you can see the fangs. Yup, they shed those, too!Here is a good look at her regrown limbs. The red arrow points to the limb that was previously missing entirely, the white arrow to the half-limb.
