if you think she's that insane, why are you handling it lol.

Im sorry but im not a big fan of the people who present the spider like a monster, and then show a handling picture. These people seem to dont have enough experience with the spider to handle it, and the worst of all, they seem to want to show off a little ... Wich is probably the worst point in handling.

Sorry for behind nut with you then, lol.

Its still a sad reality, most people will present the spider like this :

OH MY GOD SHE'S A REAL DEVIL, REAL CRAZY BEAST. Then they show a handling picture lol ... God , what are they trying to prove, this is so ridiculous.

I agree with you 100% Baboon, handling, in my opinion should not be practiced, it stresses the T very, very much as you well know. I just had this little lady decide that she wasn't going to be cooperative during her housing transport, and wanted to venture out in the great unknown. I am with you on the negative imagery that is unfortunatley portrayed by some owners and of course, the following irony of a handling pic. We must protect image of the true nature of these beautiful inverts.:clap:

Yes, sorry again for behind nuts with you. To be honest, my screen is much darker then most screen, and as the picture was already dark, to me it was a 100% black image, I could'nt even see your hand. So I could'nt tell it was a small specimen, and did'nt see it like a joke! :?

Hi,

ah, simply because I was tired to be called Baboon, it was'nt very serious and it was just a matter of time before I change it in the futur so, I tought I would do it right now heh. Also, in some serious forum its obligatory to have the real name and I think its very good like this.

No more confusion ... etc ...

Pterinochilus lugardi mating. We can see that the bulb of the male is directly on the female epigastric, this said, we cannot see the insertion. But, we can see the male shaking its palps, at 28 seconds or so, wich is a typical behavior of an insertion, plus the female immediatly push him back after, and then, the male begin to wash its bulb, wich is a good sign in my opinion. The male was charging its bulb this morning so these are all good sign of a successfull mating.

Hi Nate

Hehe, I agree not the most display container. Comes a time that you dont need to see them, just keeping them is enough heh. When I want to see my spider I open the lid :)
