Araneomorph (True Spider) Picture Thread

[ForTW]

That’s pretty cool, congrats on the all the babies. Are you planning to keep them together for a while until they’ molt another time or two to make them easier to work with?

Have a few demands that i will seperate, the Rest will end up in a larger container (more control) and will be raised together to get the strongest .

Just love how good the juveniles look. This colouration!

Hogna maderiana
Heteropoda lunula sub male

This is what I saw when I checked the shelf in my office today!
Lycosa tarantula, Heteropoda venatoria, Heteropoda sp flores and Dolomedes triton. All are out and carry their egg sack...
This summer will be associated with some unpleasant work...
Little nimble bastards...

Great species. I had 10 slings, only 2 survived N3.

5/8, only one male. But they are highly aviable rn! I am sure some offered are I4+ from then on they are doing great!

Heteropoda davidbowie 0.1, by far the most relaxed Heteropoda species I keep. I bent the plant 45 degrees to take the picture, which - as usual - didn't bother the yellow devil! Picture 2 shows a still small Lycosa preagrandis from Greece.

I know that breeders always take credit for their successes. But that's nonsense. Nothing is easier than breeding spiders. You make sure that both animals are adults, feed the female thoroughly and at some point place the male in the female's terrarium. He either gets eaten or distances himself at some point. Then you take him out. Now all you have to do is wait for the egg sack... that's all... If you have any specific questions, feel free to write to me.

Thats really good to know, more specific question how do you identify an adult molt from the epigyn
