Oh for sure, if I have an egg sac with these - I would definitely tryNot initially of course, but might be worth attempting with 10-20 about an eggsack or two in if successful.

These will be the last ones I buy, I promise!
From what I was told my batch's parents were from Iquitos, PeruUh, this week...
Which came first, the chicken or the spider? Where is this species from?

New phormictopus sp full green baby say hi to Pickle only t to ever try and eat my fingers through the tissue as I was opening the pot and at a whopping 2cm it was adorable quickly took the worm n gave me the vile in exchange after a quick happy dance.
Thank you @NMTs for suggesting the sp I have a feeling Pickle will end up as a firm family favourite

And a bit of a surprise to me I ordered a 3/4cm psalmopoeus irminia unsexed and got an 8-10 cm female rather chuffed as I only paid £6 for her. Total bargain imo. Say hi to Amaterasu or her butt anyway She bolted out of her travel tub and hid straight away so I have left her in peace to calm down after her journey.
Welcome to the family little ones
You've got to get a versicolor, though- they're so pretty! Arboreals are the best. And, the enclosure technically takes up less space, due to the smaller footprint.Other than C versicolor... but I told myself no arboreals.
Aphonopelma moderatum look a lot like chalcodes, especially late in their molt cycle, and they are definitely more high strung...I received 2 New World 'Mystery Ts' from a friend who got them as freebies after ordering online. One looks intriguingly like a A. johnnycashi, the other is a living contradiction. It is at 2.5" legspan so far and looks remarkably like an A. chalcodes, yet is a tong-lunging, hair-kicking, bolt-happy, and threat-posing little bugger. I'm going to try and post a photo if I can manage to borrow a camera/phone with camera, but in the meantime, does anyone happen to know of any A. chalcodes lookalike New Worlds that are generally bitter with life?
Ach, I know that feel. My mum has a Moderatum that she raised as a sling, and that gal had the worst social anxiety in a T we both had ever seen. She would kick her bottom bald just from seeing the T move in the enclosure beside her own, and when her terrarium was isolated; a single footstep could cause her to skitter, kick hairs, and call the police. It's truly remarkable how creatures of a same genus and sometimes even the same species can have such variation from one another.Aphonopelma moderatum look a lot like chalcodes, especially late in their molt cycle, and they are definitely more high strung...
