As usual, great new pics! Your pic thread is probably one of my faves, I am just so jealous of your collection. :D

I concur with shell, i really like your pic thread. So many different species and great shots of 'em. I'll be looking forward to seeing more shots of your Orphnaecus sp. blue as it grows

Thanks man! There are still plenty of OW I want. The Orphnaecus sp. are great, I got 2 a few months ago in a trade and I love them. I set them up in vials, gave them half substrate with a plastic leaf in to the center for climbing and webbing. They have tunnels all the way down and web tunnels all the way up and sit at the top most of the time. They're great eaters too. Feeding time is usually a quick flash and the feeder is gone. I was lucky enough to get that above pic. :) I can't wait for them to grow up either, I think I need more. :D

As a relative "T noob", I am somewhat familiar with most of the species everyone knows, but it's always nice to see a species that is new to me, especially when I would like to keep it; Encyocratella olivacea fits that bill, definitely, nice shots of it too!!

After a quick google image search, I see that they are not all that far removed from P. murinus to my eye, visually (at least in carapace colour and abdomen pattern, "knee" banding etc)... are they a comparable species for behaviour and temperament also? I see they share a close natural habitat too.

*I know I could have googled all of my above Q's on E. olivacea, but in my experience, direct feedback from a keeper is always better! Thanks for your time.
Great thread overall BTW

I have only seen a threat pose once and it was to a roach that spooked it. If you have an OBT, you'll do fine with this species. Just treat it with respect like any other OW.

If your interested in this species read-----> this. :D

Stunning pictures, really like the C. darlingi; I would like to keep either one of C. darlingi or C. marshalli... OW "baboon" species are really growing on me lately.
Congrats on the new borns too.
