Some people have amazing luck with H. incei and M. balfouri. But id rather not chance any cannibalism. I figure every spider that is housed seperately is one more spider staying alive in the hobby.

irminia are great Ts.

At what size did you pair your female? My girl is getting some pretty good size :)

My female is a little over 5". Around 5.5" or so.



Pterinochilus murinus sac pulled! Was alot of fun, because the mother was not at all happy about me intruding her fortress. She put up one heck of a fight! There is 170 of these little 1st instars!

My dealer has some H. Incei slings in I'm considering a communal too of maybe 4-5 but I'm slightly hesitant due to the mixed successes, seems balfouri are alot more tolerant than incei but also more costly. I'm mainly interested to observe the communal behaviour at feeding time etc.

Just peeked in on my A. pissi I paired a while back, can see an eggsack through the bottom of the tank. Unsure when dropped though as I couldn't see in up until now lol.

Hapalopus sp. Columbia Large sac pulled!

Just got done putting all these little guys into the incubator. Was a tiny sac with mindblowing numbers! There was 0 bad eggs! All perfect 1st instars!


First person to guess the EXACT amount of slings that were in this sac, will receive 1 completely free one from me! Guess away! (Please no cheating by enlarging the deli cup picture and counting them that way :)) And gromgrom, you dont get to play :).

Regardless, small time or not, coming to this thread is spider porn (literally) I envy you.

...190? No, probably not an even number, 185?
