I know resurrecting old threads is a bit of a no no, but I thought I would considering its mine! After nearly 3 years of not keeping Ts at all, I've recently started a respectable little haul of slings :D I'm definitely enjoying keeping them all over again. I've laid off the photos as I...

Thanks Storm, I don't think these will be long growing, the parents were matured in less than 18 months, lol. Hoopefully I'll get some good L2's soon! Cheers :) Thanks Michael, yeah it was pretty exciting to remove and open the eggsac, and a good stage to find them at too. Really happy...

The female OBT dropped an eggsac between the 9th and 11th of July, apx. 9-10 weeks after the initial pairing. I removed the eggsac yesterday, apx. 30 days later. I had no camera at hand yesterday, so took some shots with a phone - the pics are rushed and blurred, but I was fairly eager to...

Stunning B. smithi, looking well on the vid :D

Looking good Paul, great pics too :)

Thanks folks, I hope she produces too :) I haven't been really taking much photos lately, none of the slings like being hassled, so just leaving them to it really. -Both of the C. schioedtei have moulted once or twice and are doing good - neither are willing photo-subjects so I just...

Great T. ockerti series there mate, and the P. cambridgei shots too, really like that 3rd one down :D

Thanks for posting that link Shrike - I actually stumbled upon this thread after doing a quick google search to find some info on he natural habitat of M. balfouri :) ---------- Post added 05-25-2012 at 01:28 PM ---------- Just read it, and it is no wonder such an unusual tarantula hails from...

The breeding reports on here really helped me to learn a good bit in preparation for pairing this species recently. They also make for a great point of reference when trying to gauge sac laying/development times. It really is as straight forward as Catfishrod has explained there - feed the...

Baboon sp. males maturing in 4-5 years and females 6-7? Bad info. Try 18 months-2 years, max!

Definitely is a world of difference between appearance of the males and females of that genus, but I wasn't previously aware that it was consistent with the entire sub-family, as Chris mentioned there . Top notch pairing pics there Jason, going by the size difference, probably a good plan to...

Can't chime in with any noteworthy experience here Shell, other that to say she sure is looking nice and round!! :D Awesome looking T!

I seewhat you mean about the chordatus looking like a lugardi, quite lighlty coloured alright. Very nice baboon. Like grayzone said, Iam not a scorp person either, but love the blacklight photos of them! Nicely taken pics :)

Nice collection of spiders there, and nice shots, some real gems in there. Fantastic selection of shots here too, think I need to start taking more shots before I post, lookin at all these!

Fantastic pictures of a very nice haul of Ts there Annabelle! To be honest I love all of your photos here and the Ts in them, but the P. parvula and A. versicolor are my favourite of your Ts - both beautiful examples of their respective species. :)

Quick update photo of the OBT girl - she appears to be lugging around a bit of extra junk in the trunk. Paired 2 weeks ago and has not really been excessively fed since - well fed, but not excessively Gravid? Spotted her once or twice since Saturday, outside the burrow, and moving around...

Too many impressive Ts to mention here, but from recent shots, I really like the new P. ornata and C. fimbriatus, the ornata seems like plenty of fun! Big congrats on the A. minatrix slings, and the hopeful P. pulcher slings too, there aren't many NW arboreals that can rival those two species -...

That is fantastic news Chad, I am delighted with the conviction of that reply :D Really did not want this one to be male, she is my favourite T, hands down. Cheers!

Not too shabby for a freebie, true indeed! Proper little digger too, having fashioned a very cool tunnel already (pretty impossible to photograph it's extent, but it's an impressive structure) - a simple setup, rearing jar mostly filled with substrate, small piece of moss for a water source...

Fantastic species and definitely not your run-of-the-mill T, markings-wise! I'd like to keep one (or more) C. fimbriatus some day. Not the kind of T that can be coaxed into view for a photo-op too handily either, I imagine?!
