Its a mature male, they are sexually dimorphic R

And very quickly we are back to everything else inbreeding apart from tarantulas because no one has any proof on inbreeding in tarantulas and HAVE to go somewhere else OK how many people posting on here have actually stood on the middle of a tarantula colony and wondered "how does a male find...

Hope this link works. It is being updated with new information and to address some of the misinformation online. BTS nematode article thebts.co.uk

You do not have access to the NHM collection and neither you nor anyone else will be allowed to vandalise the almost complete and perfectly preserved holotype specimen of H. hercules (picture in BTS journal a couple of years back) just so you can to try and sell spiders...that is not what they...

Your gigas does not appear to be in premoult

Are you a member of the British Tarantula Society? There is an article in the current journal regarding the new genus Abdomegaphobema, and a couple of years back an article by Eddy Hijmensen on distribution climate etc. The World Spider Catalogue has the latest Taxonomical paper covering the...

There is no proof whatsoever about inbreeding problems in tarantulas. Read the comments above and people have to refer to problems with non tarantulas mostly vertebrates therefore using animals so widely different from each other is not good for comparison. . So lets split the vertebrates of...

"Sorry for late reply, busy examining types" Ah ok, I see. I did see Hysterocrates sp. "Bakassi" which is a more specific location than just the Country, but I guess still a vast area in Cameroon. It looked like sp. Gigas on a visual level. "Next wild caught Cameroon shipment comes in I will...

"Hi Angela, yea I have spoken to a couple of arachnologists and importers and it seems the spiders are usually gathered from similar places each time and/or labelled by their place of being caught. Although I hear this isn't always accurate." I have helped unpack numerous shipments and the only...

You are aware that NONE of the availiable pet trade Hysterocrates species have EVER been compared with the holotypes prior to selling? Therefore NO ONE really knows (well a couple of people who have not published yet do) what the pet trade species actually are. And yes I have seen the holotypes.

Been directed to this I think it was Voltaire who said "People running from revolution are probably the cause of the revolution". If people are treated fairly then you don't get revolutions (no taxation without representation), but having to have 2 revolutions in less than 50 years just shows...

Nope there is Davus fasciatus which have never been in the pet trade ( I have 3 females here and dont know of any any other live ones) and there is Davus pentaloris which dealers have been selling as D. fasciatus as well as D. pentaloris.....even though both spiders look totally different...
