very nice photo. i was going to order a huriana but they were all out by the time i made up my mind what else to get with it heh. what camera/lens are you using???

 

[shogun804]

i would have to agree with you here, this is also one of my favorite T's to keep, my female actually just molted 5 days ago, they are stunning T's. yours is very nice looking

thanks for the compliments everyone I was surprised it was that clear as I don't have a tripod and was pretty close-up picture...I don't have the steadiest hands usually.

I am using my gf's Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3 with the macro lens...i think it's a 4 megapixel.

she's gorgeous, I've always wanted a huriana.

Have you any pics when your huriana has been growing up ? Post it if you be so kind.

 

[Crimsonpanther]

Wow shes sexy lookin !! No really though shes a beaut !!
I always wanted one of those Avic's ! Great photos man !! :clap: :drool:

 

[Gesticulator]

a real beautiful...on my "next avicularia" list! Yes the flash does accentuate the hue!

 

[Immortal_sin]

holy crap! nice pic!
My 2.1 megapixel cam won't take pics that nice, and mine are smaller than yours. I think I don't feed mine as much

it's only molted once since it has been in my care and the previous pics I have are not the greatest. Have you checked the Avicularia species picture thread? There's a few pictures of this species in it as well...kind of long but the pictures are great and of ALL KINDS of Avics

Gesticulator, thanks for confirming my suspicions of the flash

Holley, you must be starving yours I feed this one about once every week and a half...gets two crickets, the other one I got from you seems to be on the slower side and to be honest, i am kind of worried about it. After it molted it grew about the same amount as this one pictured but is a lil skinnier and won't eat nearly as much...MAYBE half what this one will. I kept thinking it was in premolt but it was much to soon for that to be. Hopefully it will be ok after the next molt and start eating like this one.

oh, then you just have a nice cam LOL. Mine are fed once a week on either a small cricket, or a lobster roach juvie. They are probably close to 1.75" or so, maybe a bit larger....
How bout yours? Some of mine are bigger eaters than others too, hopefully your other one is ok...

 

[edesign]

ya, they're about the same size...

chris, hijack away nice pics...how long have you had that one?

 

[ChrisNCT]

I got it about 2 months ago from a friend. It molted about 3 weeks ago when I took these pics. Sexed female about 4 1/2".

With flash.

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.

Um we have the twice-monthly Streamwood ILL show....thats 24x more often than Tinley Theraphosid Breeding project is Always there....

And on minatrix size, I have many and NONE are 4" legspan, even with Male Measurement Syndrome I couldnt call one that big
3"...3.25"....
tONY

GoTerps: I've read somewhere that azuraklaasi is supposed to have some orange setae on leg IV apart from toes ... Does your have anything like that? I would love to see pic of that.

Not that I can tell, but this is a young, growing specimen. I don't see red or orange setae anywhere on this specimen.

Is this in the original ""description"" (if that's what you want to call it!!) by Tesmoingt? Just curious. Whether a valid species, or a regional form, they really are gorgeous.

This spider was imported as a sling from Germany.

Talking about "colored setae" on Avicularia is sure to give one a headache! LOL

Interestingly, another specimen I have, from the same eggsac, is a little larger than this one and still has some redish setae on the abdomen and a little on leg IV... I'll work on taking some pics of that one as well.

[Becky Wheeler]
