Well he does have a camera we know that, so it should not be that hard to put a few cages close together and get us a photo. Id be showing off 11 adult females if I had them too!
I guess we just have to wait and wonder. :)

Being a friend of Robs, from what he told me a while back he keeps all of his Ts separate far from his home in kind of like a warehouse thing. His camera is not all that great either. So, that being said, he can't exactly just walk a few feet away from his computer, line up and start snapping pics of tons of spiders, and especially very detailed close-ups. Correct me if I'm wrong Rob!
If you guys check out his most recent classified add he's got some newer pics on there too, with baumgarteni females that are starting to show much more black in the carapace. Unfortunately I have not yet recieved my female from him, we are having shipping problems however I plan to do another order with him so he's hanging onto my baumgarteni female until I can pay off the new stuff and only pay shipping once :)

That had nothing to do with what I said. He said he has 11 adult females. He got all pissy when I asked for more pictures pointing out the fact the one he was photographing had just molted.

So all I did was ask for pictures of the other females. Its been almost a month. Somehow I think that is plenty of time to post some more pictures of adults. I know people get busy, so I'll just wait for them to be posted (if they are) so I can compare some features in adult females. That was the only reason for my request.
But for some reason he wanted to read in between the invisible lines and take my request as a personal challenge of his manhood.
Then he removed the picture of the T he did post after he mistook my request as a challenge. (little weird)

I will say the pics he has posted in the FS ad don't look like baumgarteni to me. Unless the image is really just that bad I am not seeing some very key features that the species has even at a small size. But that is just my opinion. They probably are as advertised I just find it interesting how drastic the differences are in my young ones and his, and even mine and some others that I know are out there.
More pictures would clear that up but I won't hold my breath considering he has made it clear he does not care for me :)

You COULD be right, but I'm assuming he did that because he was running out of room for attachments. He's not an arachnosupporter and I remember what that was like, about two attachments was it lol. Open my first link to robs first classified add in the first page of this thread; he's removed those too ;)

I know this thread is centuries old haha. And that Satellite Rob isn’t with us anymore he can’t comment on this thread. So I will say that the females grow just as fast as the males do. At times females are a little bit larger within sac mates. These species still flicks hairs as much as any other red leg species. Calmer then B. boehmei? A little calmer than boehmei for sure. They’re still a pain to deal with at times cause they can be skittish. It would have been cool to see pictures of some baumgarteni specimens on thus thread.

the Baumgartenis have that stripe on the lower leg and the color fades back to black along the leg. Boehmi legs have far more color and it extends further. Both gorgeous Ts. I am fortunate, my boehmei is pretty chill.
