Opinions on H. gabonensis

I just want to know what you all think of this species? I'm thinking about getting a few in a few days.

I'm not a fan of 'dwarf' T's at all so they can 'Bugger off!'

I like the villosella more, personally, but theyre pretty much identical except for appearance. I dont own any yet, but i did the research a good while ago.
Crazy webbing, speeeeeeed demons, small size, reports of successful (and unsuccessful, theyre not balfouris) communal setups, theres not a whole lot to dislike unless youre uncomfortable with tiny teleporters. They're high on my priority list, for sure.

Good colours and patterns
Lightning fast
Good appetite
Fairly priced

I loved my male while he lasted. Stupid fast and a great eater. Loved to web everything up. Males are really small when mature and females from what I understand aren't much bigger.
My male shortly after maturity next to his bottle cap water dish for size reference.

Appearance-wise, definitely one of my favorites I’ve never owned one though, so I can’t really comment on anything other than appearance.

I learned some interesting things about them from the seller.


Think this will be my first communal attempt.

True, still not sure if i am even going to buy any juvies of this species as i have my eyes on a female H. namaquensis and C. Darlingi (female) as well. Still undecided on everything for the most part.

Looking back at my records my male lived about 18 months. Flash in the pan sadly for such a cool species.

I know a couple breeders of these. One of them told me they are deceptively fast. He's a large OW breeder, and told me it's one of the fastest OWs he's raised. I've seen pics of them, gorgeous. The discoverer of this species made some interesting observations in the wild.

I would DEFINITELY get it. I will be getting one soon.

I had a sling for a short bit. Not sure what happened but it didn’t make it. All of my other slings have done fine before and after this so not sure what happened.

It was a really neat little thing while I had it. Pretty tiny, great looking spider and the webbing in the deli cup was really neat to look at.

Beautiful little dwarfs!! My MM has been in with my female for a couple weeks hopefully I get a sac of teeny tiny's

Give it a shot if they're cheap. I don't hear alot about communals with this species. And it's important to experiment.

Actually they are decently priced. I'll update this thread if I decide to do so.

Let me know if you pull the trigger, and I will hook you up with the article about them.

Never seen em for sale so if you want some I’d get multiple. Seems rarer , I got an H Mac and a sling horned baboon no dwarf Africans . Good luck!!
I’ve not got any Ts in around 2+ years tho so I’m a little off the grid.
