Jan, Shell answered your Q on the dot. Thanks Shell!
No prob :) I love Cyriocosmus, sold off all of mine last summer when we moved, but I had quite a few of them for a couple years. Time for some more I think...

Love the new pics! I am starting to worry about your foot fetish though. :p

Hehe because you've had one for a week? ;P


Female Avicularia versicolor








HEY.. its been AT LEAST 2 :sarcasm: and yeah.. in the duration ive owned them, i have discovered what theyre all about. Unpacking the perezmilesi was real fun lol
Cyriocosmus are little sprinters for sure. My ritae builds real cool tunnels that it is quick to disappear into (until slamming into the prey) once its feeding time

Nice versi btw.. where the heck are these juruensis you speak of?

Of all of the Cyriocosmus I have kept, I found perezmilesi was the easiest to deal with (with ritae right behind it). I found elegans to be the most "difficult", had them bolt out of enclosures more than once (always caught them, but they kept me on my toes). That's just my personal experience with this genus of course. "Difficult" also, when compared to other fast and/or skittish species really isn't that bad with Cyriocosmus, they're quick yeah, but nothing awful.

Sorry Chad, I really owe you donuts now for hijacking your pic thread. ;)

Yea Chad, don't make me grab one of your cameras and snap a few shots for you! You should never slack on a picture request.

Wow, great series here Chad!! :D Sweet shot of the spinnerets!
The way you kept us zooming into the eyes I thought I was about to get pulled right down its pupil!! :eek:
Thanks Michael! Now with a few more tricks up my sleeve, I'm thinking of going back and taking a second look at that sess. ;)

Beautiful versicolor and great photos, Chad! Those colors are gorgeous! Also what Shell & Steven said: Thanks! Maybe at some point I'm gonna get another dwarf, but my new T's will most likely arrive this friday... :biggrin: boy, that'll be FUN housing those 5 - actually honestly looking forward to it!
Thanks Jan! Cyriocosmus are awesome! I would add at least one to your next order. You won't be dissapointed! :D

Love that last shot of the versicolor. Nice work, Chad!! :D
Thanks Jason! :D

Nice shots as usual Chad!!
Thanks David! I can't wait for a photo sess at your place! ;)

Very very like!!!
Thank you! :)

Now I may not have a foot fetish like you do, but that is one sexy foot. You also seem to like butts...tarantula butts and feet...hmmm. :p

There they are! Really wonderful shots Chad ... look just as good as on the LCD!! :D

That 2nd one is especially outstanding! :)


p.s. Sorry, I didn't even notice before but that spinnerets shot is a fantastic image!!! :D The lighting on it is amazing and the shallow DOF works perfectly here!
(and you know how much I love the cracked mud! ;))

Lol, you know it! There are three eye cluster shots there and I like to get other parts of the spiders. It just happens to be butts and feet. :p
