Here's my 4 Paslmopeous, only one I don't have is maya. Man, I love this genus!

adult female P. irminia

Juvie P. cambirdgei

A little more...

P. reduncus sling

and the beautiful sub-adult female P. pulcher

I wish P. maya would come into the USA already!!!! I'd be all over that!

My P. cambirdgei

I also have irminia and pulcher but these are slings and hard to get a decent photo of.

I heard that there is P. plantaris, which should be extremely fuzzy, in a way that you can't even see his body ...
Has any of you seen/heard of it ?

Is there only 5 species in the genus Psalmopoeus then ? :?
Have affinis, ecclesiaticus, emeraldus, intermedius, plantaris, rufus all been found to be synonyms of cambridgei, irminia, maya, pulcher & reduncus now then? :?

No.

These are considered to be in genus Psalmopoeus:
affinis
cambridgei
ecclesiasticus
emeraldus
intermedius
irminia
maya
plantaris
pulcher
reduncus
rufus

But not all are in the hobby as for what I know. I've seen only irminia, reduncus, cambridgei, pulcher and maya (this one only on pic).

No, sorry I should have been more specific. I meant the 5 that I wanted and were most available. I try not to fret over the ones I can't have.

Finally have them all again!!! After having all but the reduncus for quite a while I finally get the reduncus that was short lived though as about 2 or 3 weeks after that my pulcher has his maturing molt and off he goes to breed, so there I am once more one short of the full lot of available psalmos, this all went on a few months ago, well earlier in the week I picked up the pulcher that has been missing Greg

very nice specimens all! I only have one Psalmopeus, a P. cambridgei that was given me by a friend. You can find a photo of him here

My question is how do these compare to the P. irminia in terms of difficulty? I'm still rather a newbie, but the irminia are gorgeous and I'd kind of like to try raising one.

Thanks all,
B~
