Mmmmm I've got one of these, and she's currently my favorite! Simply astoundingly beautiful. Did I get lucky, or is your's out all the time as well? I don't think I've ever seen her hide, after she got settled in!

Out of all the psalmo's in the hobby cambridgei is the most likely to stay out in the open from my observation of this Genus, both irminia and pulcher seem to like to stay hidden more and as for reduncus? I only have 2 and been around 1 other so not much to go on there... Greg

thats how it is at my house. my cambridgei is almost always hanging out in full visability, unless i distrub the container, or possibly the table it is on. where as my irminia is always in its hide, until the lights have been dim or off for a little bit...then it comes out to the entrance or a little passed it fairly regularly. not sure about pulcher and reduncus, but i want to get them all so i'll find out one of these days.

Thanks :)

I'm not 100% sure on the legspan, but she's gotta be getting on for 7"

She's so velvety, and the old skin is really soft, makes you wanna stroke her, lol :)

My first T, a beautiful 2.5" P.Cambrigei:drool:(Thanks Botar) It came this morning about 8:30, 2 hours early.. =]

I couldn't have been more exited, I let it crawl out of the vial into my hand, where it gently then crawled into it's encloser. It moved around a bit, it's now resting on a nice spot of the bark.
He/she's name for now is Boss.




















This is my favorite pic, caught her in action ;)

I know what you mean. I got a pair of them and Sarge was sooo tiny when I first got him a few weeks ago.
Now he is huge in comparison. I swear he must have molted twice since getting him.
Not as big as yours. But just love the coloring they have.
Congrats!!

Sorry for all the pic's being of the same spider, but it is my first T.

I was excited ;P

Anyway can anyone tell what sex it is from these pictures? I'm clueless on how to find out really, thanks in advanced :worship:
