I adore Homoeomma chilensis and had a male for about 3 years. I assume they are still hard to come by in the UK as I haven't been able to find one anywhere this year. I wish more keepers would breed these little stunners. I really hope you find a mate.
Some hesperus mating shots.
This first one was a none starter. An older male coming to the end of his time (I called him Bushy :) ) and what I thought was a healthy female. He made all the right moves but no actual mating took place while I was in attendance. May be shy!. However, less than a...
I actually don't have that much room taken up by Spiders. It has changed alot since those photos but I am not what you would call an avid collector. I do alot more collect and release to be honest. I keep a few genus at a time. Right now I am studying a few Latrodectus and Steatoda and pretty...
My room is pretty much based around keeping and studying arachnids and creating artwork in one form or another (plus a projecter screen and projector for those rare relaxing moments). The problem is, the hobby expands to fill the space available so getting a bigger house/room doesn't seem to...
I can't wait to get hold of Spore and create an arachnid race. The video of that game is just awe inspiring. It would be great to see how an arachnid based lifeform would develop.
I keep an insect trap in every corner of my room and hidden in the bottom of my Spider cupboard. Nothing seems to get past these sticky traps. They are not toxic but they are effective. As most critters will run along skirting boards these seem to catch everything from wild stuff to escapees. I...
Improver: You seem really definate in your statement. What ID would you tag him as?
I dropped a quick PM to the Lady that supplied them so I hope she may pop in and take a look.
I only have Steatoda grossa (female) and Steatoda bipuncta here to help ID him. He's isn't either of them. He...
I keep looking at the spitters. Martin Goss has a few left over here and I keep meaning to mail him to get a couple. Those early pics you posted were very striking with the really high contrast.
Steatoda paykulliana (Edit: I thought...)
This a few images of my small S. paykulliana collection. I managed to get hold of an Egg sac and later a sub adult male and female. They were sourced inside the UK from a hobbyist from another forum/board and they were delivered overnight but both the...
Crap: I just realised after reading Jordons comments I should move these images into the Latro thread at the top. Too late now I suppose as there are replies.
hey Diadematus,
does your Theridion look like this?
I'm trying to track down an ID for this Theridion sp.
I have to agree I love keeping Therididae of any type and most adapt well to captivity IMHO. I have a batch of slings from a Mother care spider (Theridion sisyphium) from this...
