I confirmed this fimbriatus to be a female. She's already made an incredible tunnel with lots of web. I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to see inside her enclosure in about a month.
I swear these are the loudest crickets I ever heard... pretty sure they're a different species from the ones the crappy big box pet store carries. They're faster, jumpier, and I can hear them through a closed door and all the way downstairs...
Apparently, they taste fine though.
Female G pulchra. Was like half an inch across when I first got it, now she's like 7 inches across. She's a bit skittish but docile and never even kicks hairs. This is one of my favorite things about tarantulas. If you get a female, then with minimal effort you can keep it for the next 20-30 years
There is very little info about this species anywhere to be found. It's tiny, just barely 1.5" DLS, but judging from the spermathecae she's almost mature. Entirely fossorial, only time I get a glimpse is during rehousing. Interesting to see the legs turning slightly pinkish...
See the old molt beneath her? It's brown. But when freshly molted and for the first few weeks they're much darker, almost black, with vibrant pink hairs. She's not the calmest spider, but she's very reluctant to bite when handled. She does kick hairs every now and then and does hiss at me sometimes.
About 3 inches or so currently. I recently Confirmed that she's a female from her last molt. I already have a much bigger female and a male but I can't have too many of these guys. She's a bit skittish but still calm if picked up and never kicks hairs, so typical pulchra temperament.
Time for the monthly A. pissi pic! These are very photogenic, and the larger they get, the more tolerant they are of me opening their enclosure. Now instead of running, they come to see what's for dinner, lol...
‘Quilago’, p. ultramarinus large juvenile F. After months of being buried away she’s looking fresh and ready for food. A truly stunning species, cameras just don’t do their IRL colours justice.
Aphonopelma sp. "diamondback" female. A small but stunning aphonopelma with lighter tones on the front section of the body, darker tones at the back & a triangular pattern at the rear part of the carapace :)
