Enjoy

Grammostola rosea "Concepcion" (adult female)

Grammostola rosea rcf (adult female, not looking her best I suspect she's about to molt soon)

Grammostola rosea rcf (subadult male)

Grammostola porteri (subadult male)

Great photos!! Nice animals.
Wait till that RCF molts out - awsome looking spider!

Nice looking T's, and your enclosure's look nice from what I can see. How about some enclosure pics?

 

[AcidQueen]

Sorry to disappoint you Fierce Deity, but I took the T's into my back yard
I would never use stones in my enclosures.

 

[Fierce Deity]

I like to make natural enclosures, and use rocks and stones sometimes. I have never had problems myself, but I have heard stories or the rocks falling down on the spider if it burrows under it. Just be more careful in the way you set it up...

 

[AcidQueen]

I rather use cork bark and fake (very real looking) plants, no risk in using them and it looks cool aswell!

Grammostola rosea "Concepcion"

What is that? I have heard of Grammostola sp. Conception but yours doesn't look like it. I don't see any enlarged scopula on metatarsus, but maybe I am just blind or stupid.

Nice spiders though!

 

[jwasted]

Nice pics they look very nice.

Sweet pics!! The RCF G.rosea looks !SWEET! after a molt!!

Could be the same one, she's been sold to me from Germany as G. rosea "Concepcion". That's all I know

[metallica]

could it be that you are talking about 2 diffrent species? G rosea rcf from concepcion Chile and a possible new Grammostola species from Concepcion Chile?

 

[Steffen]

Anything is possible if you ask me. But it doesn't really resemble any rosea I have ever seen, since the carapace is black. :?

But it is really simple. Acidqueen, check metatarsus on your specimen please.

 

[AcidQueen]

The carapace isn't really that black.. more a shade of greyish green.

Here's a picture for you Steffen.

Grammostola sp. Conception

I will ask the person from who I bought the spider why he's selling them as G. rosea "Concepcion" rather than G. sp. Concepcion. Either is fine with me, it's a pretty spider regardless of it's name.

 

[Steffen]

Well it kinda looks like a rosea so I can imagine why they are being sold as such. But for that matter, I can't say it is not a rosea. Only that I have heard otherwise. And considered the fact that it is supposed to be kinda newly discovered I would have say "DAMN they described/determined that species fast."

But I'm no expert, I just like to think so. But I completely agree with you, it is a pretty spider no matter what. In fact I am planning to get one myself in a few weeks hopefully.

 

[AcidQueen]

this is what I got from the guy that sold this spider to me

To your Question,the Name G.rosea "Concepcion" was created from Pedro
Avaria,he is a Guy from Chile and the Importer of all G.rosea, G.porteri
and other Spiders and Scorpions from Chile in Germany...
I dont know exactly,if its real a rosea Varieton,my meaning is by this
Way...

 

[Steffen]

Ok thx. So no one is sure of anything. :wall:
