    Spider ID Please

    I live in the Sacramento Valley and I was told that C. sacra was probably the ones I have. One funny thing to note about these spiders. If you are going to try and find some in the wild, don't use water to try and get them out of their burrow. They are not like a t and will not come out with water.

    What Kind Of T Is This?

    You beat me to the toe thing. 100% Avicularia sp. and if it says Avicularia urticans I'd go with it. I have no idea where those other guess came from.

    Anyone have a guess as to if this is a B. auratum or B. smithi?

    7" and not mature? Are you sure of that size? I would like to see a pic of that.

    When I need to I will handle any t but to put a t on you face just for a pic is just plain dumb.

    California Mature Male T –got Lost

    Not a t but a Calistoga spider. It's mating time for them about now.

    Spider ID Please

    It is a Calistoga spider. 90% chance a mature male that won't live long. It would be best to let him go where you found him.

    using real limbs

    Go with Cork bark. It won't rot and seems not to attract insects. I have tried a few other types of wood but after a while, even after being "cooked", they developed pests.

    I'm trying to move to Puerto Rico and they don't allow any non-native animals. Yes it could be done and I probably would not be caught but If I did I would be risking several thousand $$$$$$. I have new price list up today.

    Puerto Rican t's in the wild. Pics

    I'm not sure how widespread they are on the island since we only had time to for them at one location. They were pretty easy to find once you knew what to look for. If you did not have someone to show you where and what to look for you might never find them though. They were pretty much in every...

    Puerto Rican t's in the wild. Pics

    Sorry about not getting back to you earlier. What I was trying to say was that at least half of the A. laeta we came across were very defensive. I have kept A. laeta for a couple of years and they defensive at times but never like what I saw in the wild. They seem to be the most defensive Avic...

    Puerto Rican t's in the wild. Pics

    I recently got back from a 2 week trip to Puerto Rico. I got a chance to meet up with an Internet friend for some tarantula hunting. There are a few sp. of t's in PR but I only had about a half-day free so we decided to go out looking for Avicularia laeta. Here is the location we found them...
