if you keep P cambridgei keep irminia the same way you will have no problems i keep all my (psalmos) the same.

Freshly moulted P. irminia (i believe it is a female, but the molt was destroyed so I can't be too certain).

I absolutly LOVE this family! Hard to get a good pic sometimes though cause mine are so darn shy!!!! I sometimes get to enjoy a leg or a flash of colour here and there but other than that no bold appearances

does all psalmopoeus specie web like crazy? Mine is currently around 2" and it sure webs like crazy. I can't even find it. Can i prevent them from webbing like crazy?

One of my favorite genera. Suntigers are cool. I really like the contrast of black and orange.
Nice T's guys

I would say that you can't. I've got one that hasn't webbed that much, but she's only been in her new home for a short time. She is mostly hidden by corkbark anyway. The Psalm's I have hide all the time. Heck, my P. irmina got named "Legs". It's all I usually see if it.

[aaronrefalo]

there are some irimia with a stuning orange markings while others are more faded...is this becouse they had recantly moulted?..

Hi
what big is P irminia?? I anywhere didn t find informatoins.
Thank you

Just what I could ask for ...a thread devoted to psalmos!!!I am quite intrigued by them as they are so different (temperment-wise) than all my other tarantulas. I couldn't imagine how fast they were until I had my own trio... My first encounter with my Ps irminia was her teleporting ;P from her tank to the top of an open window...so I've been hands off ever since. I'm just glad I have now devised a system to keep her contained while I clean the tank. I often get to look at the sheer beauty of the Ps cambridgei as she is always visible.

Really beautiful pictures. I noticed some on ppl's hands...how many of you actually can handle your psalmos??? (Please no wandering off topic to discuss the handling issue, it's just a question in response to a photo)..

I also read in other thread how psalmos burrow as well...Can anyone elaborate?

P. cambridgei mating

Here are a couple pictures from today's mating of Psalmopoeus cambridgei.

The male is on loan from Goliath (Mike).

He got a solid insertion, then she tried her best to nail him but I got him out safe... he'll have a date with my other female in a few days.
