    Aphonopelma sp. (mareki?)

    My friend found this 2” tarantula yesterday on South Mountain in AZ. May be lighting but it doesn’t look like chalcodes to me. A bit late in the season for those, anyways, right? The palps do look a little bulbous, but I don’t have a different angle pic. Could this be mareki?

    @Ungoliant To be honest, I’m not entirely sure :oops: This was before I discovered AB and knew any better so she’s from Petco and not a breeder. I think rosea, because right after her molt, she definitely had pink coloration on the carapace but now she’s just grayish...

    I’ve mostly been posting these on IG since I haven’t been as active on AB but, yes, still doing silly tarantula photo shoots :)

    Repticon Phoenix 9/15-16?

    Anyone else going to Repticon Phoenix this weekend? I’ll be going on Saturday morning probably. Come say hi if you are! I need more IRL spider friends (most of the people around me just sorta tolerate my excited bug ramblings :hilarious:).

    @OliverWhatever here's an in-progress pic of the stamp :) It took several hours overall, but it's hard to estimate how many because I worked on it intermittently over the course of a few weeks haha.

    @LittleGremlin I used the pink speedy-carve rubber pad! Very easy to cut into and work with.

    @Leila Haha whoops. Fail. Ok I left several of the old conversations in my inbox so hopefully that will allow me to receive more DMs. I did get the alert that you sent one but for some reason it won't show the message itself even though I've cleared out some space...

    I finally finished carving my spider stamp. DM me if you'd like me to mail you a hand-stamped card (free!).

    What to do with molts?

    Thank you! Like @Rittdk01 said, the molts won't rot or smell funky since there are no internal gooey parts. I start by putting them in a sealed container with a thin layer of warm water to rehydrate them (if it's not a fresh molt) and leave for a day. Once the molt is flexible enough to pose...

    What to do with molts?

    Make them into cool displays! A nicely mounted molt makes for a great gift (for the right kind of person, that is). Framed genic by tetracerus posted Jul 30, 2017 at 2:25 PM

    @CyclingSam Hot glue glob under the center :hilarious:. It stays gooey long enough for me to line up the edges of the carapace.

    "Confirmed Female" JUST KIDDING

    @EulersK What a nice-looking pair! Hope the second pairing attempt goes well! Keep us posted :D Side question: Is it just the picture or are they the same size? The one time I tried (unsuccessfully) to pair my female, she was much larger than the guy. Admittedly, I haven't seen too many other...

    A chalcodes too weak to move? Dying? :(

    Update: Shortly after placing her back into the tank, she wiggled into her burrow. Every few days, I checked to see if she showed any signs of dehydration and dripped some water into the burrow on the side closer to her mouth. I can't tell you when exactly she passed away but her legs never...

    Looking to start a hiking group in Central Arizona.

    I'm interested! I'm up in Scottsdale which is a little far, but I'd love to meet more invert people as well.
