My male Euathlus which I thought was gonna die last night, surprised me by trying to molt, he wasn't making any progress and almost ripped off a leg, so I decided to cut off his exo rob c style and pull him free, he looks pretty badly crippled though , and one i gave up on the palps, one may...

simple build. I kept a small fishtank heater under the bottom to warm the paper towels, causes a bit of condensation but all the ewls popped out at that time

Pulled from the mom, 40 ewls so far. A third of the eggs look stuck together and bad, about 120 total. we will see what happens.

yeah, now that you mention that, I may do that. good idea.

I figured it didnt really matter for this species. Ive read a few places that you could even pull the sac right after its laid and it will do fine. (not saying that's true, just what Ive heard/read) Is there a reason why you pull the mom out after they emerge? is there a benefit to this besides...

It is convenient. I have a busy schedule and work 50+hrs a week. Id like to take care of it ahead of time to minimize time gathering the little ones and dealing with the angry female when I'm prepared to. Its going to be hard to get her out and get the sac with the way she is set up. In...

With a pterinochilus murinus sac to pull in ~10 days and hopefully a euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi "green" sac on the way I was hoping people would be willing to share their egg sac setups. Right now I have taken a few containers the size of a coffee filter, and i plan on putting moist paper towels...

Its the same reason why purebred dogs are valued more than mutts... we already have taxonomic issues within the avicularia genus, we don't need things more complicated. Every time someone breeds a hybrid we have identification problems. It just causes a mess for the hobby, noone likes headaches.

Molt measurements of the past were 2 7/16, 3 5/8, 4 3/4. I'm not looking to argue, I'm mostly just looking for someone knowledgable in avics to tell me the notable phenotypic differences between an avic avic and a braunshauseni, but noone has been able to do that for me yet.... from what I...

I agree, plus when it was a juvie it didnt have the abdominal markings of an urticans. Tarantula_tamer of ig suggested it, thought id throw it out there. I'm starting to think maybe I should just give up, and forget about finding a female to avoid crossbreeding and perpetuating the avic ID mess.

Because I have another Avic avic that looks different, and this guy is larger than most male avic avics I haven seen. most MM avic avics I've seen were ~4" or the size of my MM diversipes.. I spoke to the breeder, he said he traded 50 H.mac slings to someone in florida for a bunch of different...

braunshauseni? urticans? large avic avic? (double the size of most avic avic mm's ive seen)

thoughts? Urticans maybe? Still too large to be a MM avic avic, not sure how large the male braunshauseni run.

6" is a more realistic guess after holding him.

Your compassion for tarantulas is appreciated by the community! I would not place the sac outside as the mother needs to take care of it. If it just laid it, you have 3+ weeks to find a home. Leave the sac in there and allow the mother to roll it around and take care of it. Try posting another...

Right, he is roughly double the size of most MM avicularia avicularia, hence the point of this thread. Braunshauseni seems the most likely answer but could be a potential urticans, whatever it is, it certainly is not an avic avic ... I can confirm that he is about 6" while laying in his web...

I have a pair of euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi "greenfemur" I am attempting to breed. I was concerned when I bought the female because her carapace was smaller in size and not quite as large as the male. Regardless I exchanged webs, kept her in the critterkeeper I bought her in, and introduced...

please see above

since it just molted I have a picture of the molt being measured, its too soft to take out right now, but it gained a considerable amount in size if you look at the fatness of the abdomen pre molt. pic of the gloves as well

My avic avic sold as female molted with the molt measuring less than a cm under 5" its now approx 7-8" which is gigantic for a mm avic avic IMO. any way I can tell the difference besides size? should I be looking for a female braunshauseni, will I even find a female avic avic bigger than him...
