I love the C. fasciatum! I had a chance to get some shots of a pair, but they didn't turn out so well. Great photos!

C. fasciatum

This may be an issue more productively raised elsewhere on the forum, but have this individual's tiger bands always been so narrow (furthermore, how old is it?)? I have seven C. fasciatum spiderlings, all of whose bands are rather wide in comparison (examples in my picture thread if you want to see). I don't know a great deal about the genus, but my gut feeling after seeing these images is that the bands either diminish as the spider ages, or maintain a consistent width as it physically grows, resulting in proportionately smaller bands on the adults. I also gather there are subtle differences in appearance between related Cyclosternum species (eg. fasciatum and pentalore) but that most of these with tiger bands end up simply being sold as fasciatum. Nevertheless, I haven't read of any cosmetic differences between species involving the thickness of the bands. Forgive me for mumbling aloud here; I just found the narrowness of those bands pretty striking!

Great photography all-round, by the way.

Ya, i hear ya,..this particular specimen is a bit different than others ive owned.....

not sure of her age....she shows the characteristics of an adult, but she is only around 3.5, wich i guess in this sp. is close to full size,..although, i have had some nice size fasciatums....hmmm

[Formerphobe]

Nice pics! Gorgeous spiders!

 

[Storm76]

Lovely pictures, Levi! Awesome irminia

Btw - what would you say your C. fimbriatus act like? Worse than OBT / Haplo, or easier? I've heard some scary stuff about them and considering I own two slings myself that already show huge attitude, I'm curious about others experiences.

 

[crawltech]

well, id say they are somewhat comparable to those above mentioned,...jus with more focus, and accuracy...i would also they ahve more of a personality aswell, wich makes them easier to reason with in a hostile situation...lol....nah, they are great, one of my fav sp!!

oh, and btw...they wont be slings for long...one of the fastest growing T's ive ever owned!

Silly! The "easier to reason with in a hostile situation" part cracked me up! They grow pretty much as fast as my P. cam so far. Insane! Mine both show a huge personality already, but I love their looks.

 

[crawltech]

Im hopeing to get sac from her soon,..she was paired up, and ate a little mm a few months ago.

 

[grayzone]

like the shot of the regalis "giving you the finger"... thats too funny
