Have a nice weekend.

cool pics and very nice specimens you have there, can't wait for the xenesthis prices to lower a little bit!

x.immanis:drool: i need some

Stefan2209 · Feb 10, 2008

Hi everyone,

thanks for appreciation!

That Xenesthis is a freak genus to my opinion!

Always acting defensive at the slightest disturbance but backing up as soon as they realize they can´t eat one...
Just gotta love them... :drool:

The price situation in regard of this genus seems indeed to be a bit "strange", at least around here: sometimes one will be offered already medium sized specimens for quite decent prices, on other occassions it´s just hard to find any young slings at all.
When one finally manages to find something that´s still quite "fresh" in regard of early instar age, one has to put out more cash than for bigger specimens...

Anyway - as these are extremely hardy spiders i´m not too much worried because of the cash spent, can´t go too far off with these...

The said-to-be T. ockerti is strange, too, and literally the exact opposite of the Xenesthis: totally calm and docile, strangewise this particular specimen even isn´t caring too much about direct contact with humans, as i have it running up my hands quite frequently during maintenance work.
Apparently very fast growers, too, going through three instars in just three months.

Greetings,

Stefan

GoTerps · Jul 16, 2008

Hi Stefan,

Do you know who decided to use the name "A. velutina" for the spider you have?

Thanks,

Eric

Stefan2209 · Jul 16, 2008

Hi Eric,

nope - donno.

I´m not too engaged with Avicularia, but some close friends of mine are. This is the very reason for my evergrowing stock of Avicularia

The reason, too, why i rarely ask twice about the origins of the parental generations, my friends are much more interested in such details than i could claim to be.

Anyway, i´ll just check back with my buddies - maybe they know the answer to your question.

Will get back to this.

Regards,

Stefan
