have fun owing the little critter... a friend of mine has a female that will throw herself on her back murinus-style, exposing her fangs and dripping venom if you so much as look at her {D

She's not pissed, she is waving hello, with her fangs.

How cute! I had a sling flick hairs at me from its little vial once and fell in love with the thing, so I took it home. Now I have a fun-loving spastic squirrel for a tarantula who never ceases to delight me.

Did she take a chunk of you with her, or just threaten to?

I bought a 4" spider under the name C. Bravipes. I'm pretty sure one little C. Brevipes didn't find it's way to Sweden for the measly price of about $17. So I'm guessing it's a C. Huahini, judging from availability and color.

Is there any other way of ID'ing this spider except for the two factors mentioned above?

Thanks for the reply. My spider looks nothing like the spider you posted in the linked thread. Perhaps it will change in the upcoming molt though. It's about to molt any second now, dark and plump.

Yes he did, fortunately! Last time I didn't see any, but this time I did!
So fingers crossed from now on! :D
I definately have them crossed for you, such a beautiful species. Maybe she got mad that he actually knew what he was doing this time.;)

GoTerps.. maybe you can lend some assistance in my huahini breedings. Im having a little trouble with these two. The male doesnt pursue the female, and the female doesnt acknowledge the male. Last night's mating attempt went something like this...

It started as all fun and games with a Conga Line


Then I thought I saw romance


But then something odd happened, something Ive never seen before!!




which resulted in this..


Any recommendations?

Hi Morels,
Your female will not respond so soon to a big disturbance in her enclosure. I can see you've taken some of the furniture away to get the shots, a lot of her silk home has been upset and she's naturally on edge. Fisrt thing she is thinking is that she is under attack, and has responded accordingly. She will need a couple of days without you disturbing the enclosure (other than to remove excess silk from the outer areas of the enclosure, this is good to remove so the male can locate the female, if there is only silk at her home, he can pinpoint her instead of freaking out with silk everywhere, a chemoreceptor thing ;)).

Once the female has her home rebuilt, you'll be good to go. You usually don't have to worry about your male vanishing into her home, 90% of the time he will lead her out into a more open area anyway. You'll get your images then ;)

If you move the enclosure for the breeding, give her an hour on a still surface prior to introducing the male, this will also help to calm her down.

Hope this helps,
Steve
