My L. violaceopes can't seem to get enough of them, I've introduced them to her enclosure a number of times only to find various "armor-plated" boli scattered about at the base of her hide within the week.

It looks as if you have a Utricularia sp. flower perhaps? They are a fun genus of carnivorous plants with subterranean/aquatic/epiphytic hair-trigger vacuum traps.

Any word on this amazing spider?

Interesting, the yellow bar threw me off, All the images I had seen the spider lacked the bar. Either way, congratulations on this most striking spider.

Whoa! Looks to me like you have a juvenile Iridopelma seladonium! Congratulations!

Great collection! It appears you H. gigas is Heterscodra maculata!

http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?p=1772241#post1772241 Seems to me to be the same species in this thread. (you lucky devil)

Great spiders!! However, I have a bit of trouble believing both of these statements. Do you have in-situ or captive photographs of comunal groups? What about these 10 foot burrows? Again, Great photos and a magnificent species! Best Regards, Nick

Definitely an Olios sp. perhaps Olios fasciculatus! Great spider, I've been going out to Joshua Tree since I was a wee tot... never managed to find Olios before, congrats! Sure must be nice to live in such a beautiful desert!

I was thinking about that myself and frankly, having never tried it I cannot say. Perhaps someone else will have an answer for you, sorry.

hydrogen peroxide goes to town on molds, you might try swabbing with a small amount.

those are some great burly pedes! What species is the South African individual?

NOT M. giganteus they are American. Most likely Thelyphonus sp.

I understand stridulation, i was curious about the "true" part specifically which you have now clarified for me. thank you! :D I believe I've heard my L. violaceopes stridulate a few days after a molt.

my turn, :p what do you mean true hissers?

What about Phlogius sp. "aussie goliath"? Aren't they flaunted as growing to large sizes?

You have the most awesome gear and an incredibly enviable collection! Your C. shioedtei vid made my day! (my very favorite species) Keep 'em coming!

A. Metallica female (deceased) A. sp. "Peru purple" female and finally my pride and joy A. bicegoi juvenile female

Aphonopelma from southern california. Possibly reversum? Terribly sorry if my pics are too large :o

Actually, I left them all where I found them, I was only looking to collect a couple Megahexura fulva. But perhaps next sring I'll go back and see if I can't find some more to shoot. Thanks for that!
