Hi Shelob The B. dubias have semi-hard shells. None of my spiders, lizards or other roach-eating animals have had problems with them. If it makes you feel better; serve them when freshly moulted, as they are soft and delicious. Second question: Place the heat device on the side of the...

I have a few of these angelic creatures - I like to call them Cyriopagopus sp. "brown".... :rolleyes: Well, they show some blue after molts, but not for very long (1,5"). There are adult females in Europe, and they are big and bright blue!! :worship: Believe it or not, but these are...

Hi!! Congratulations... You are a grandfather! :clap: Though i forgot all about you? No, she just took her time to produce, and I have been away. The eggsack ins't too big (this picture is taken on the day it was laid - it has increased a bit since then), but she finally did it. ;)...

It is no Poecilotheria, that is 100% sure.... As mentioned, Stromatopelma calceatum or Heteroscodra maculata.... I can't believe you couldn't find pictures of any spider looking like yours... ;)

Vys: No more mescaline for you! :shame: :wicked:

Same as pinktoes804. Unfortunately, I was a bit late. :rolleyes:

All the time... {D Most of my arachnofriends are into OW spiders. They just LOOOVE to tease me about it (I keep 13 species of Avicularias), and say they are girlie spiders. "Thank God you have some REAL species, too!" (referring to my Poecilotherias and Cyriopagopuses).... I really...

It says the molt belongs to a Nhandu c (coloratovillosum or carapoensis)... And I have to agree, the picture is really good!!! :clap:

I'd definitely go for the Cyriopagopus sp. "blue"!!! It gets bigger and is a great looker. I have seen both P. metallica and C. sp "blue" IRL, and they are both beautiful. But IMO the Cyriopagopus is the overall winner. I'd give anything to own some Cyriopagopus sp. "blue"!!!!!!!! (Oh...

I strongly recommend quarantine, especially if you buy from shows (or any store/dealer that may have WC specimens in their collection). I have recently lost 3 Theraphosids to the feared nematodes. Pics here Luckily, I kept them quarantined, which may have saved the lives of the ones I...

Could be Blaberus discoidalis... In general, the Blaberus species can be hard to tell, as they also hybridize (is that a real word?? :? ) within the genera.

Yes, that would be a male...

I am so sorry to hear that! :( :( :( If the ventilation is good, you can't always smell it. (Do I know you from somewhere?)

Mister Internet: What you have is simply two natural color/pattern variations in B. dubia. I have seen the spot variation in several cases, especially when I've dealt with cultures from southern and eastern parts of Europe. Those cultures have been more patterned, than the ones from northern...

No time to hesitate here: Dig it up and check it out! Curled legs are never a good sign. If it still shows signs of vitality, put it in an ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and monitor it closely. (Where in Denmark do you live? If you don't live to far away from me, I might have a look at it.)

Welcome to the boards! :) I will most definitely go with female here. I have outlined the spermathecae in red, to make it easier to spot on the original picture.

Hi I would like to know if there is any different in sizes on the two different color variations of the males? If you could give me the measures in cm, I am positive that I can help you on this one. (I currently keep 9 species of roaches, and have been keeping cockroaches for the last 7...

Here it my freshly molted A. purpurea, and it's really blue!!!!! I believe it will become more purpleish in a short time, but right now it's just stunningly blue. Yes, I did use a built-in flashlight , but the bolors on the picture is NOTHING like the colors it shows in sunlight! :clap:

Here is my kitchen "pet" jumping spider. I feed it about once a week, with tiny mealworms.

As said before, I will place my money on Lasiodorides striatus. Its common name is sometimes "Giant Stripeleg", which would fit in with the rest of the story. (Got to love the common names!!!! :wall: )
