Thanks for all the info everyone. Sorry this is so late but i've been away for Easter. I've posted an image of the leg i markings (on outside of metatarsus and tarsus) in the gallery for anyone interested. Hope it worked OK:) Cheers Graham

True! Also the femurs appear to be a darker colour than the rest of the legs which i don't recall seeing on my specimin. I am at work at present and will check on this tonight and try to get some photos of the leg colorations which i could possibly e-mail to anyone interested. I really would...

I picked this up from my local store Contact Pets in Chester. Usually very good on T's (carries about 40 to 80 species). It was sold to me as Haplopelma doriae common name Borneo Black. Cheers Graham

Morning Lopez Looks quite similar to this photo. Unfortunately i am struggling with the photography as i have no access to photobucket and the file sizes are just to large for uploading here (2 to 3 MB) What species is that photo of? Graham

Haplopelma doriae Does anyone out there have any info on H. doriae. I have tried several searches but can't find too much. :confused: I have just got hold of a 2.5 inch specimin and he/she is absolutely gorgeous, with a jet black colouring all over but with iridescent gold stripes running...

Should be ok. Don't see any difference to storing in bag that you buy it in or tupperware boxes. The Erin is the same stuff my local pet store uses and i'm told that Chester Zoo uses it as well. Cheers GREF

Most garden centres stock "Erin" peat which is a mixture of as dug Irish peat and sphagnum moss. Costs about £2.50 for a large bag. If you don't have room to store then fill the tank and use sandwich bags to store enough for a couple of refills. Cheers Gref

Hairy Legs!! My A. genic (4"+)eats as much as i feed him! What amazes me is he never leaves anything! Not a bolus in sight! Last week i gave him a small pinkie which was devoured instantly (well in about 5 hours) leaving not a trace . I don't think he even put it down for a second. GREF

Hi my local store has a 3cm Guatemalan blue [I]Aphonopelma sp. [I] advertised for £10.00. . Must find out what they look like!!! Keep us up to date please Cheers GREF

Hi all My name is Graham and i'm new to both Ts and this Board. I have just the one juvenile a. geniculata as yet unsexed and un-named but very very hungry. Will post some pics when i manage to get him/her out of his/her burrow for longer than the time it takes to grab a cricket!! Cheers...
