My true spider thread

[Deroplatys]

Got 4 species of Sparassids at the moment, hoping to get some Salticidae again soon.

Heteropoda boiei

Holoconia insignis

Gnathopalystes kochi

Heteropoda davidbowie

 

[pannaking22]

Great pictures! The silver one is the male Gnathopalystes kochi?

 

[dylanaxolotl]

Wow! Where did you get them? I have three davidbowie, but not the others.

 

[Psychocircus91]

beautiful photos and spiders

 

[Deroplatys]

Got them from The Spider Shop here in the UK, and yes the silver one is a male Gnathopalystes kochi, at least i hope so lol.
And the female in those pics turned out to be sub adult i think, she's just moulted and im pretty sure to adult.

Also got more pics of the H.davidbowie, no chance of breeding these anymore unless the female was already gravid, i introduced them and the male dashed toward the female stupidly, resulting in the female crushing his cephalothorax as if it was nothing.

 

[pannaking22]

Geez, that's hardcore about the female H. davidbowie.

 

[dylanaxolotl]

I only have a single davidbowie sling. The cleaners crush one container and the other one stupidly drowned in a tiny pool of condensation.

 

[Deroplatys]

I had an extra female who had some legs missing, they were all wildcaught, and she just dropped a sac, not sure whether to get excited or not lol.

 

[pannaking22]

I'd be excited lol, but that means you're going to have quite a few slings at some point. Good thing they're pretty little guys!

 

[yjh]

Know of any supplier that I can get a Heteropoda boiei from?

I'd be excited lol, but that means you're going to have quite a few slings at some point. Good thing they're pretty little guys!
