Nice collection, I still haven't gotten a p. Irminia yet . I kinda dove into old worlds. And I love the baboons. I'm getting a C. Marshalli in June, anyways nice Ts you got there.

Got get a P. irminia! They are freaking awesome, despite their defensiveness / speed! GREAT to watch...well that is...IF they are out! Very reclusive species Probably gonna get some baboon at some point, too. M. balfouri / C. darlingi or C. marshalli probably

ya nice work on the purpea,...one of the avics i have never had,...they dont come around very often around here..

Thanks, man. They are even here difficult to find, since as soon as they are advertised, they're sold out within a few days usually. I got lucky

awesome purpurea Storm.. i got a couple im getting this week as well.. WE SURE DO have the same taste in ts... lol

Thanks, man! And yeah, some similiarities there with the choices, lol - Although I'm getting addicted to the Psalmopoeus' that I have and proably gonna try to get the other species form that genus. We'll see...I'm not in a hurry

I love those purpurea slings. For some reason, their gray color appeals to me more than any other avic sling

+1 I just recently got 3 one of which has already molted adorable little fuzz balls

Oh well, their sling colors aren't that appealing to me, but their adult coloration? WOW! I just love blue and/or purple hues on spiders! Looks so amazing!

Mine started to web up their sling enclosures already the night after I got them and have quite some webbing going on in there by now. Curious how yours are? Frankly, it would seem the purpurea slings web the most of the Avics that I have so far. The versicolor & azuraklaasi web some, but not much and especially the diversipes / amazonica seem to be content to not really web at all...keeping conditions don't vary between those, so I guess it's just their personal preference.

ive noticed that too .. my diversipes webbed one tube web down the deli its in, while the versi has webbed a bunch.. seems to be pretty common, as ive heard versi are considered "heavier webbers" for avics.. cant wait to see how the purpurea's rate IN PERSON

 

[web eviction]

Ya mine are .5 inches haha well 2 of them are still and they webbed there little viles the first 20 minutes they were introduced... My versi has only ever made a web hammock in the top corner and ive had him since he was about half inch, he matured about two months ago.

They'll probably web the heck out of the enclosure. I've seen mine starting to web pretty much EVERYWHERE in there. Here a tubeweb, there some strains and OH HEY: There has to be another tube! *webwebweb* pretty funny

My versis both have a single tubeweb only in the place they like.

Soo, here some pictures from my Heterothele villosella girl, "Takhisis" - she was out and about webbing and checking on the immediate surroundings of her web

 

[Storm76]

Some more shots of her and her webbing:

And last night, Euathlus pulcherimaklaasi sling, "Neelam", molted:








Also, one of my 3 Avicularia purpurea slings thought it was about time to shed its skin The little one is still
hunched up in his webbing, these Avics are very shy so far and retreat into their webbing when disturbed like
on the picture shown:

I really like that E. pulcherimaklaasi, they look great at that stage.
I've watched a couple of your vids too, good job with them, the last vid I put on youtube was a terrible quality GBB sling feeding vid, goes to show how lazy I am with making vids, that GBB has matured and died since...! The B. smithi I saw in one that was relucant to move made me laugh, most of the Ts here will set off like a bottle rocket at so much as a touch on the foot I love frantic Ts, but couple of chilled out additions might be needed also!

Thanks, Matt. My B. smithi was just 7 days post molt, so she was not really willing to move However, she showed me the other day that she certainly CAN be fast if she sees the need to (filling the waterdish after putting it back in wasn't what she had in mind - checked back 2 hrs later - waterdish full with dirt *sigh*)

Alright, so I received my P. cambridgei juvie female today and she's VERY quick as is normal for this species. Poor thing was in the post for nearly 48 hrs due to the post over here. Not the sellers fault, he actually did a great job at packing and I'll certainly buy from that one again (www.chromatopelma.de) - but anyways, here's some pictures of my new girl and I'll edit the post to include the housing video once it's uploaded (you'll have fun @Porp!) Enjoy!

Kinda bad one, through the plastic:


Way better with open lid:


She's about 2,5" I think. Need to measure her if I get the chance...



Here's the videolink of the unpacking & housing her:
