B. schroederi appreciation

[PanzoN88]

I've had mine for a little over a month and it has quickly turned into one of my favorite tarantulas. It also seems like they get overlooked in the hobby even though they are rare. I decided it's time to give this species some recognition.

I'm going to need more convincing then that if you want me to jump on the bandwagon. Post some pics, from what I hear these look a lot like G.pulchra.

Slow growing terrestrial.. not for me.

Love schroederi, have been on the look out for slings for a while but no luck so far.

That's too bad, you should give them a chance man. They are very rewarding to raise long term. Since you have other spiders to keep you busy, what's the big deal anyway, just their growth rates?

I don't have a ton of money to spend on spiders. I only buy the ones I really want.

Mainly, yeah. Just boring.

The growth rate of the schroederi isn’t that bad.

If they got nearer the size of pulchra it would be awesome. But nice sp. none the less. I prefer them to a lot of Brachys even though they are probs smallest of the genus.

Will do, it's nowhere near full grown at around 2" but she is starting to show some adult coloring (black abdomen) especially now after the fresh molt.

I already posted these on Instagram, but here are pictures of my female

Oops forgot the second one (before she molted)

How small do they mature?

Slow growing, terrestrial, and small? Definitely a no go for me lol

It's not about the size of the boat, it's the motion in the ocean.

A semi pretty terrestrial, and it's small. There is absolutely nothing about it that can appeal to me.

I like them but them I'm collecting all black tarantulas. And mine was a whole 4" when she matured

 

[Exoskeleton Invertebrates]

Schroederi a small species? Hmm not.

I can't believe some of these comments, this is the B.schroederi appreciation thread. That being said, black, small and slow growing? Sounds perfect for me.
