Thanks! They are doing just great. Other than the fact that my E. pachypus won't burrow or eat. I don't know whats up with her, maybe she'll have finally settled in by the time I get back from my vacation.

Thanks!!! Now I can't wait for Marik to mature so I can breed the two.

Thanks! I especially love how the new female has more peach around her carapace then my male does. I wasn't to sure how I felt about getting an Aphonopelma sp. at first (it was a freebie) but I really like the little guy and he's growing a lot faster than I anticipated, I've had him for less then a year and he's double in size. The only thing that bugs me is he won't take live prey, no matter the size, only pre-kill. :wall:

Exciting! How big is the one you're getting?


She is gorgeous, isn't she! I wish she'd hurry and molt so I confirm she's a girl and breed her, and then C. bertae for everyone.

I felt the same way, I got a coupla freebie Aphonopelma slings and wasn't sure how much I'd like 'em. Gotta say, Aphonos are pretty cool. Dig neat burrows, more active than I'd have thought, and I love watching mine tackle a cricket and then tumble and roll down her burrow with it. Not sure why yours won't take live, mine have always been tough little killers :?

My Aphonopelma had a really nice burrow in his first enclosure, but hasn't attempted to burrow in his new enclosure. and ya, definately more active then I though he'd be. I don't know why he'll only take pre-kill. but even if I put a small live cricket in his enclosure he just runs away from it.

And some of you may know aready, but my 3" "female" A. avicularia, Tani, molted into a mature male! Ya, that's right. Makes me pretty sad, but he is GORGEOUS!

Just waiting for him to harden up before I send him off.
