Great pics like usual Bill! Good luck on the future future breeding of the G.pulchra.. we all know how slow these grow..

 

[davidmmx]

I love the pic. of those pokies together. I just wonder how do you clean that cage with the three bugs there :worship: Don't they have a nest??? I ask because they are out in the open... Do the share a single nest or have three different?? Do anyone get in the nest of other???

BTW, I love your versicolor too!!:drool:

Nice pics

 

[Sharpy808]

Stunning collection :clap:

I have a request.. can we get a few more pics of the Bonnetina C. please? O and if you have any sling shots from that one, that would be great as well.

They are actually easy to work with and don't give me any problems. The group photo was taken in a new enclosure so it looks clean compared to what it will be in a couple months. They mostly stay together like that sometimes piled on top of each other, it's hard to get pictures though because they web all over the acrylic and everything else. Right now the bigger female is out all the time and the other two are in premolt, stuffed into the same hide.


Sharpy808, as requested a sling pic and a couple very recent post molt, there is also a juvie pic in the first post of this thread.

[Sharpy808]

Thank you very much for the pics Bill. Looking forward to seeing those adult colors in person. Heck Id be happy to just see the T again, lol. Both slings dug in the first day I transfered them and havnt seen em since, typical from the what ive heard.

Once again TY for taking the time for the request :worship:

And VERY nice Haplopelma sp. too!

 

[syndicate]

nice shots bill!whats up with that last haplopelma pictured?did u buy that as schmidti?

 

[billopelma]

Hey Chris,

No, was purchased as sp. "vietnam" (with a comment that it's probably vonworthi) from a fairly reliable source. The leg I-IV ratio is around 95 (on all three of the spiders pictured actually) which would not rule out that ID. Definatly not anything from the schmidti group. There's a pic of it as a sling here on one of the earlier posts. Remember, 'color means nothing'...

I picked up the (first one pictured) in Germany as minax, got to see the mother, was black as coal. But according to Soren, minax does not have any orange on the spinerettes and this one does, though it is getting less with each molt.
The second was picked up at a show here as 'vietnam birdeater' and seems to conform pretty well to what I've seen as H. vonwirthi.

My 'schmidti' as seen earlier in this thread was quite gold, but is getting darker as he molts, probably hainanum then (color means something sometimes )

Looks like you've been getting some really interesting asian's, will be intersting to see how those develop. Keep the pics coming and the info flowing...


Bill

 

[syndicate]

ah cool man.i need to get some of the vonwirthi.nice looking spiders.how is your bach ma female doing?i should have a mature male soon

 

[fartkowski]

The pic of the H incei and kids is awsome.
I love how they are all lined up.
