Genus Avicularia

[GoTerps]

GoTerps,
How big is your minatrix now that she is mature? I have two and I know they mature on the smaller side for avics, about 4 inches or so, is that right?

Hi Karen,

Well you need to keep in mind that there is a difference between maturation size and full-grown size.

She is 3" DLS right now. She was ~2.75" DLS when she laid the eggsac.

So that was Botar by 8's at the Tinley show? I was there and saw that versicolor. That guy was cool. I got my skeleton (E. murinis I believe) from him. I can't wait for more shows to come to the Chicago area! Much love for the avic's. I'm getting a versicolor as soon as I can.

Right now I'm trying to breed some A. avicularia's. I have the male with two females in a 10 gallon aquarium. Was just wondering if that would be alright to leave them together for a while. I know that this species can be kept communally, but don't know what it's like to have a mature male with two mature females, and me trying to get some spiderlings here.

I am looking for a blue T for my collection but it seems I cant find a pic of Avicularia azuraklassi (powder blue) I love the cobalt and gbb. I am leading towards GBB ,Does anyone have a pic of powder blue? I hear they a rather rare.

Rick West has one on his web site at:

It seems that hes the only one to have a pic of it. He also has it for sale.

I don't have one of the A. azuraklassis, but how about one of these? This was traded to me as a Homoeomma sp. "Blue", but I believe the scientific name for this has been changed to Thrixopelma cyaneum. This is a mature female, but she's quite small, about the same size as my C.(Davus)fasciatum. She is in pre-moult in this pic, by the way, so her blue irridescence and mirror patch normally are more evident that this. She's a very docile little spider. She isn't for sale, though I've seen other specimes offered from time to time, more frequently than the Powder Blue Avics, anyway.

You can find photos of Avicularia azuraklaasi by searching this very site. Make sure you're spelling the name properly... in your post you have it misspelled.

Here's a couple of my photos of this species.

Juvenile male:

Subadult female:

I don't believe that Rick sells photos to individuals. I think he only sells them for commercial use.

Maybe Dragonmaiden means that he has the T for sale, not the picture.

Rick sells photos, not T's.

A. huriana pics

Not sure what happened to my original thread i posted last night...it is nowhere to be seen

anyway, i took a bunch of pictures while i fed my T's and the following pic of one of my A. huriana's turned out to be one of my better pictures and had to post it here. The first pic is ok, it shows off the purple on the abdomen i had never noticed before...is that normal or perhaps due to the flash?



and my favorite

Nifty picture!!! I really like it! Very good detail.

I was telling Jason last night, the best way to inspect your spiders is to take a picture and inlarge it...LOL. You get great detail.

Cool pic!
