    Without being able to go to the pet store 2hrs away I can safely stick with the 3 I own

    I'd have to go in and see what's available.

    Does the pet store have a website that lists their spider selection?

    It does actually, but last I checked (last month) they had a disclaimer stating that their inventory won't be accurate and they would only sell food, supplies, etc. with live animals being excluded.

    Shit

    Hopefully it molts soon again to grow another; I've read about people mashing up a cricket or roach to feed in a different manner.

    Yeah I'll definitely crush the heads of the roaches I feed to it. Aside from having a small sling die while molting this is the first molting issue I've seen on one of my Ts.

    I meant almost like a cricket soup or something, not just crushing its head.

    Maybe put it in a little dish as you would with some water, and feed it a bit more than you normally would to speed up to its next molt.

    The spider should still be able to easily eat smaller roaches with tong feeding and head crushing.

    I'm a big fan of the Psalmopoeus genus.

    Lol it's a big plastic cookie jar I got from Walmart. Nice and clear and more vertical than horizontal which is ideal for an arboreal species.

    If its like other species, when they perform a threat pose, it'll show off its colorful features underneath to ward off potential predators.

    What @Kwikvette said. Light (flash from my phone in this case) actually makes them appear more blue/green than they really are, but bright colors in nature are always an evolutionary way of saying "stay the F back." Here's a good pic of an OBT (not mine) showing a threat pose with the blue tips.
