I've been thinking about getting one of those. These pictures just make me REALLY want one. This spider must be one of the most gorgeous species!

Thanks for sharing the pics! Awesome T!

Are they overly defensive?

 

[Jakob]

Very nice specimen you've got there!

Are they overly defensive?

I would say that all Psalmopoeus species in the pet trade are rather defensive.

awsome looking T, I might have to look into getting a hold of one of them.

Are they overly defensive?

yes they are very very fast as well.

oh yes excellent pics as well that P pulcher is awsome looking. hands down excellent T

 

[jdcarrel]

wow, looks great.

Damn, they look sweet after a molt. Can't wait until my girl molts, I will go photo crazy...

Mine is actually very sweet and hasn't reared on me yet.

Are they overly defensive?

Not overly. Thier attitude reminds that of T .blondi. All bark and no bite.

Also, this species is kinda uncommon and not cheap.

Man thats a Nice T, I've never seen one before......... Thanks now I have to add another T to my list

Nice looking female you have there, my male just matured a couple months ago and is out on a breeder loan with someone very reliable so am hoping for a few slings in the near future. Greg

 

[Goliath]

Thanks everyone! She is very fast and somewhat defensive, at least this one is only somewhat defensive. Most usually are more defensive than this one.

Greg,
Good luck on the breeding loan , I hope it goes well and you get lots of these. They are such a cool T, we need more out in the hobby.

Large adult female.

 

[Nick_schembri]

Not only large, but looks very well-fed too. Any plans to breed her?

 

[aftershock]

Yes, she's in premolt and I have a male ready to get sent to me as soon as she's molted.
