Hi Everyone, I'm in Australia, so the following pertains to our Native OW Tarantulas...maybe of interest to Aussie Collectors, and Collectors of Aussies... BACKGROUND: I have recently returned to the Hobby, after a 7 year break, only to find a plethora of 'new' species in the marketplace! I...

No mate, I haven't - the locales are about an hour or so away from me. Sent you a pm, though...

Hercules is maybe 12 months old...sloooow grower, but I have upped his feeding cycle during the warmer weather.

"Romeo" from 7 years ago. Adult male. 16cm l/s Got sent all over Australia for pairings... Basically, a spider doing more travel and getting more action than I was!!:arghh:

AWESOME shot!!!

Hercules, my Selenotypus sp. "Gemfields" has just moulted. Unsexed Juvie, approx. 5cm l/s

I kept this species 7 years ago. One of the most defensive of all Aussie T's. Just scored 4 slings of these beauties!:D

Cheers, mate. I've kept locally caught Trappies in the past and found them fascinating, but it's T Time first!

Cheers for that! Change in life circumstances, and an ongoing battle with The Black Dog.

So, after reading through the Arachnoboards Forums semi-regularly, and checking out T vids on Youtube - after a 7 year hiatus, I'm back into T's!!:) I'm in Australia, so I'm limited to our Native Old Worlders ONLY, but I've already started to get some neighbours for my lone juvie Selenotypus...

All Old World. All terrestrial. Here's our Species List: Page 1 TABLE – WORKING SPECIES LISTING Species Common Name Comments Coremiocnemis Simon, 1892 Coremiocnemis tropix Raven, 2005 Coremiocnemis tropix “dwarf form” A distinct species from C. tropix (Raven) but congeneric and named by Nunn...

Thanks for the comments. Here's a link to the Species Notes for the P.strenuus for those who may be interested in sharpening up their knowledge of Aussie T's. http://http://www.thegreenscorpion.com.au/documents/SpeciesNotes_Strenuus.pdf

Just picked this boy up today - approx. 150-160mm legspan. Most defensive/aggressive T I've come across to date...actually leapt across the tank to strike the paintbrush while rehousing!:eek:

I'd love to see a shot of your C.tropix Community Tank! How many are housed together? I don't have any Rattlers yet, still quite rare in the hobby at this point. Nice collection of Aussie T's there! I currently have the following sp. Coremiocnemis tropix (The 'Dwarf' term is now being...

Hey Chris, Are there many Aussie T's in US collections? Are they legal imports or black market animals? What sp. of Aussie T's do you have and how do you find they compare to other sp.? Here's the male & female Gemfields I just acquired for next breeding season: Female Male

Creepa, what Aussie T species do you currently have?

Cheers creepa. I just picked up a m/f breeding pair of this sp. yesterday, so I've now got 2 breeding-age females for the next breeding season. I love our Aussie T's, but they sometimes seem so plain-looking compared to some of the exotic sp. which we can't import into Australia. You always...

Just thought I'd post a picture of my big girl as there doesn't seem to be too many (any?) Aussie T's posted here for your viewing pleasure. These are an arid species (Australia has arid & tropical spp. of T's) growing to a legspan of 130mm. Enjoy!

Had my 1st moult from my 1st T!:biggrin: I was concerned that I hadn't seen my Coremiocnemis tropix 30mm sling for a while when I noticed what I thought was a dead spider in at one end of her burrow. I gently removed it with tweezers after observing no change in it over a few days, thinking I...

Fantastic looking T and great vid! Damn the pocies look good...
