maybe it's the wrong thread to not raise the urge to buy this species - the intention would be more to showcase the species and educate about their habitat loss and the importance of conservation. Nevertheless, I hope you can appreciate this tarantula as much as I do

They will mate on the tree itself as the males wander around the trees and find the females see here some footage of it

Hi all How is your experience in raising C. versicolor in captivity? In the meanwhile, we decided to put a video together presenting some interesting facts and figures you might never heard before best regards Martin

regarding Megaphobema robustum - you'll find some information, picures and videos on this page if you'd like to see them in their habitat https://birdspiders.ch/megaphobema-robustum-nature/

Hi everyone! First of all, thank you Vanessa for elaborating some of the difficulties our team faces all the time - much appreciated! As Vanessa correctly assumes, it is a fine line between professional scientists and hobbyists we are walking. It's important to keep information seperate from...

Going to respond in more depth tomorrow, but yes - Mexico is doing this kind of legal exports for all their tarantulas. Also I'm saying quite the opposite, to ask and challenge the author of this survey here first and then check the tonality of the survey and their past publications on that...

Why are so many so naive? I'm the last one who wants to see any tarantula species vanish from the surface of earth because of poaching, but the truth is that we as a human race are destroying the planet faster than we can think of. Ok, that sounds a little too pesimistic, maybe get some other...

There is a new tarantula podcast out there (: Spotify Tarantula Podcast or the directly on Anchor itself https://anchor.fm/bothworldtarantulas

Maybe this will give a good impression about how to keep this elusive tarantula

Hi folks just as the title suggest, I'm trying to link all Megaphobema mesomelas videos from us into this thread. Feedback, questions, critique - anything is welcome. A little different approach, hopefully a good mixture between fun and actual information about this gentle giant from Costa Rica.

sure thing - this was filmed in the beginning of March '19. The locals said it was quite dry and the rain just started a little. Very harsh rain was not present, just the slight one you see during the videos and then some serious rainfalls for a few minutes. It will certainly be more rainy in a...

another one, maybe good input to this discussion?

Hey guys! Would love to hear your opinion about this method and how you are raising your Aviculariinae or Pink Toe Tarantula spiderlings. cheers Martin

cheers mate! I was that dude in Kurt's car - you guys had a chat in front of your house up there ;-) Was nice meeting you!

I'm sorry, of course I knew that the thesis is not publicly available. Wanted to state that there is no official publication in that regard. I'm in contact with the author for a long time and we will hopefully use the synergies present.

Yes, I'm the author. This work is a start, a combination of both traditional morphology and phylogenetics for this group. If you say this description is incomplete, then I'm assuming so is every other genus/species revision/description which lacks molecular data in your opinion? I'm already...

that is some good discussion topic! Let me know what you'd like to know. After all, this is a first analysis of this group being very close with the methods used in recent Theraphosinae research article, and published in a peer-reviewed journal, reviewed by three PhD revisors... so all in all it...

Thank you all! can you show me where the exact master is downloadable? cheers

probably not the most recent one, but I covered some things in a video as well - most of you seem already very informed about the topic, so it might not add enough value to you guys.

Enjoy the footage in case you haven't seen it yet :-)
