My two pricey ones were both Brachys - juvenile smithi for £65 and a drive of about 3 hours - turned out to be female though so whoop whoop! Other one was a beautiful 6 inch female auratum for £70. Biggest rip off I think was £40 for my A genic whose one and only moult with me was its...

Actually scratch that, out of stock now!

You can get them here now too from this site - www.thespidershop.co.uk = They seem to be pretty much the same T but deep red tinted, lovely looking thing, I don;t have the room or cash for one though!

I say stick with it, it'll be one of your proudest T keeping stories, and already is I'm sure! Plus that T deserves to be with you instead of someone who pays such little attention to their animals that theuy don't notice when pieces of it are missing! Godd work sir and keep it up! :worship:

Mental! That is so strange, it looks like it's supposed to be that way, like the perfect deformety! What a beauty!

I have seen my A avic display some crrrrazy speed skills since having her - even spinning round like a Matrix scene on the glass and then instantly darting from glass to her branch without me realising she'd even moved before she stopped again - this species can be, so vicariously ARE - fast...

Thanks everyone for your replies, very helpful and somewhat encouraging! He looks fine in himself, isn;t sitting weird, he's started to stretch out his front legs nicely - and the buggers put on some size too - so hopefully he's just doing it front first, back later! :rolleyes: More...

Hey man how ya doin? :cool: I have seen him move a bit but like I say none of his legs looks to be doing anything that well. He can move them, but just like a total invalid! But it doesn't have any DS appearance to it thoug which is good to know.

I was hoping that was all it was, i'll keep an eye on him and hopefully they'll ping back into shape. He just looks so... broken! If anyone wants him for some "extra curricular activities" please let me know as he deserves his chance for a legacy like all the other boxing-gloved cassanova...

Right guys - definitely a MM! Phew, that's one thing off the list. But like I said, back few legs look wrong... they have been in this position or close to it ever since he flipped back upright, and they are like it when he's moved, I haven;t caught him during a movement yet so can't be...

Hey guys, Well what I hoped for is exactly the case - I have a MM A genic instead of a de-palped girly! :rolleyes: However the back legs still look a bit wrong, they were this morning still crossed behind his rump as like a human doing breast stroke. I have a picture but can;t load up...

That was what I hoped for - I've read lots of people posts with similar problems, and noticed plenty of people mentioning the T simply used it's foremost legs to do the jobs of the pedipalps in catching and manipulating prey items. I will get pics tonight for you guys to peruse....

Yeah I know I was on my way to work when I discovered her/his troubles - I'll get some tonight if I can.

I am fairly certain, the pedipalps are showing the white of the 'joint' part as far as I can see, although I couldn't check for hooks due to the T being very huddled up against the side of the glass. The 'guess' factors such as bulkiness and how leggy it appears would suggest female. I'm am...

Hi guys, I've been away for a while and I'm sorry to say I return with bad news. My young adult A genic Whitknee Houston moulted last night, and this morning she has clearly lost both her pedipalps apart from the femurs - she has nothing below the first joint. Also her two back legs look...

Slash! Mine is named Slash too! Great minds think alike eh? They are wicked and my little fuzzy one is one of my faves for sure, even though she's vanished underground for the last few weeks!

do you guys' seemani's not web when they're feeding even? Mine always does. She also webs up balls of sub' when she's burrowing to hold them together while she moves them around. Maybe mine's had some sort of training? {D

here's mine, got her in may - she's moted twice and has gone from just under 3" to 4.25", and she's got balls too, just last night she beat the hell out of my tongs when I had the gaul to pick out some food boluses! Just after her last molt, like five mins after she rolled back over...

A good rule of thumb is there should be enough open floor space (in the hide can included in this) that you could hypothetically fit four of the spider in the space without them over lapping each other.

My 6" B. auratum escaped when I went away last weekend, had the run of my flat for two days for all I know - found her in the airing cupboard next to the emersion heater.
