Yep..very nice~!

Kind of a mix between a T. blondi and a Zebra sp.

Alot of Acanthoscurria sp. look very similar and it's almost impossible to seperate them by looking at a pic. Beautiful specimen though. I sold my cordubensis a few months ago.

mine must be a sissy

Nice pics all! Wow, I must have an oddball. I'd heard what great "display" Ts they are and that they are voracious eaters. I bought a 4.5" female about 15 months ago and must say of all my Ts she is the most, uhh, "disappointing." Don't get me wrong - cool animal - but nothing like the behavior I expected. The blondi and parahybana I bought on the same day (4" and 6" females, respectively) are great feeders and have both molted twice, but the genic eats like a bird and has only molted once, about a year ago. In fact, she is easily the pickiest eater of all my inverts. She's about 5" now. I've thought she's in pre-molt for the last 4 months. Appears healthy but no appetite. She took a couple of fuzzies in the first couple months I had her but lost interest in those quickly. For the last year I've offered her a cricket or two ever week and usually end up removing them after a couple days since she just climbs the glass and hangs out there to avoid the crix. Maybe she's more temperature-sensitive than the others? They slowed down a little over the winter but not significantly, and are as hungry as ever now that it's warming up some. Not the genic - she's picky and fussy as always :? Anyone had a genic like this? I don't know the exact temp range in the habitat but it's the same room in which all my other tropical inverts thrive. Weird.
