[GoTerps]

Hi Chris,

is this from Ray's eggsac?

Yes, it is. Thanks Ray

Today was the first time I saw an adult female in person. It was actually much larger than I expected.

Very nice.
Ever since I got into T's, these guys have been number 1 on my list.

 

[Becky]

Nice aren't they? I have about 10 of these.. fab lil spiders.

 

[fartkowski]

Any chance these guys will be in North America any time soon

Maraca horrida

take a look at the urticating hairs...vicious!

Chris

 

[tarcan]

but they do not appear to be efficient at all, at least not on me. I had full of them on my hands and no reaction at all and I normally really react strongly at urticating hairs.

Fartkowski, well they are in North America, Eric and Chris are in the US!

Nice spiders

[fartkowski]

Well that is very good news indeed

 

[GailC]

Pretty! The black legs with orangish hair looks great.

Martin,

Yeah, you may be right...when I wrote that it seems I had gotten some on my neck. It didn't last long and other than that, no real problems at all...

But they will kick like crazy!

Wow, glad to see these little buggers on this side of the pond, and in some of
the best hands possible.

Thanks! And the adult female has a male that she's waiting for...he just needs to hurry up and mature. Though I have heard that they are very hard to breed in captivity...and the slings supposedly grow even slower than Aphonopelma!

I didn't think it was possible to grow slower than Aphonopelma. But I have some Euathlus that are testing that theory.
