hey Brazil

I have seen your pics too, your Terrariums are awesome!!!. It takes a lot of time, effort and patiece to achieve something like that but the results are rewarding. I like to spend hours with my Ts taking pics and feeding them.

Au revoir

also he is much bigger than that last photo, even there he is pretty crunched up

Well, that Lividum looks exactly like my Lividum when it was a juvenile. He is now a mature male. Beautiful spider btw. Shouldn't be too much longer until you can tell.

i would say that cobalt is a female

Why?

Oh, and I can't believe the fallacy about all lividum males being brown their entire lives is STILL doing the rounds....

here's mine

 

[lucanidae]

I got a male H. lividum on breeding loan to put with my recently molted female. The problem is her cage isn't really great for breeding, especially with this fast species. Here is what ended up going down......

The solution to a 4.5 diameter cage with no room to put a male.....

You can just barely see the female at the bottom of the farthest hole....

He goes down one hole.....shakes his abdomen...and she starts coming up the other......

He comes all the way around the back side and tries to mate with her on the surface.

Here you can see him sneaking around the back, you have to look closely....sorry for the quality!

I missed the shot! He ran so fast! This is just the female after the male left her sad and lonely on the surface....I think he had a successful insertion.

The male went down into the burrow....impossible to get him out as of now, so I fed her a little treat.

Hopefully she'll let the male live.....

I should be receiving one of these tommorrow and I'm just wondering. In the pic it seems as if the male is more of an all around brown color as opposed to the female who seems to have the usual silverish with blue leg coloration.Do males not get the same coloration? Also how long before either one starts to display the color. Sorry for posting this here but it seems as if you are pretty knowledgable about this.

You'll most likely start to see a lot of the really nice blue color around the 2 inch mark or so, starting around the bases of the legs. Some get it earlier, some later. That is if you see the T at all. I've been lucky with my burrowers, they always take to a starter burrow along the edge of the cage. (Another reason the diameter of her cage is only about as big as her legspan.....) Males will have the same blue color all the way to penultimate or ultimate molt when they turn brownish. Females don't lose the color.

Oh, and thank you for the compliment...I do my best.

 

[MEXICOYA415]

Thx alot for the answer. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a female.

Great looking spider but it needs lots of substrate to burrow into. Looks like it is desperate for some place to hide.

I agree. Great T, Needs DEEP substrate(like all Haplopelma's do).
