I have a pair of P. subfusca cohabbing and today I found the male had been sprayed! Poor guy, he's gotta be embarrassed!

Oh NO!!! I hope it's just a lovers' tiff!

Nice shots sir, how many H. maculata N2s do you reckon you got from that sac?

Cheers Chris! I'm actually not sure! I don't count until they are 2i and separated. Here's an incubator shot, you can count them if you want.

P.S. Not all of them have left the sac.

Ooohh more feet, you've got a problem my friend.

My son (he's almost 7, and has autism) quite likes the pics of your H. mac sac. He said "oh look at the cute baby spiders mom".

 

[papilio]

I love the irminias!! With those beautiful blue legs, much nicer than P. cams I think.

I know I might need TFA(Tarantula Foot Anonymous). I'm glad your boy likes them! How about your girl? Does she like spiders too?

They are soo close to P. cambridgei as slings, it would be hard for me to choose one I like more. How about if it is Psalmopoeus, I like it!


A little background on this lady. I received her in January with DKS-like symptoms. She was very lethargic, twitching a little and also wouldn't/couldn't use her legs. She actually would use her fangs to pull herself along. It was a very sad sight. When I informed the seller he checked and his other female was displaying the same symptoms. Sadly his girl didn't make it a week. I kept this girl in a 32oz deli with nothing quarantined away from the rest of my collection. I would water her with just pouring water in the cup, after a month or two she seemed to be improving. She was drinking, pooping and laying down a little webbing. I fed her two pre-killed crickets and eventually moved her into a short 8x8 enclosure with two water bowls. I am happy to report she has since molted and seems to be doing just fine. Her molt measured 6" and she did get noticeably bigger. She will be moved to her permanent home now and finally join the rest of my collection!
