Thanks ^_^. She's roughly 4.5 inches at the moment and rather testy since being put into her new environment, which is completely understandable I suppose.

Kindest kindest,

Kevin P.

It is pure evil, awesome beautiful devil. Great spider. On spring I will get one.

 

[dotdman]

Indeed. I like the t's that aren't afraid to show their stuff... they help keep me in line as a keeper (and allow for some wonderful photo opportunities).

Kindest kindest,

Here's a couple pics of my new H. Lividum. Unfortunatly, the quality didn't really work out well and I was mostly on the run while trying to take these; from the moment I tried to put it in its new home; it wanted to take a chunk out of my hand; as you'll see in some of the pics lol... Please ignore sizeing format... I suck

What is that substrate? Make sure you give it some type of peat moss or soil so that it can burrow. Otherwise you're going to have a very unhappy spider...

 

[G_Wright]

a nice spider indeed

 

[Gemein]

yeah, I'm going to be getting peat moss; I just didnt have enough money on me at the time to get it any. It's only been about 3 days; so i'm likely going to get some tomorrow

[becca81]

Grats! It's been a few months since they mated now hasn't it? You're going to have a lot of "naughty" children soon.

They mated 4 times, last time was just a month ago.

Hopefully I´ll get lots and lots of naughty little children.

Naughty... that's great said...
Congratz!!!

 

[Decapod73]

Since they cant smoke, I guess a cricket will have to do...

Oh, nonsense. Just look for yourself!

Email addy there is the owner of the spider/photographer, not me; I just made it more interesting ;-).

Snapped som photos of my lividum. Dont mind the blurry areas and the crummy lighting. I'm new to this photography-business.

/Cheers!

 

[Zorack]

I had two H. lividum sacs last year from my 4 females. This year I'm 3 for 3. All three sacs are at the "eggs with legs" stage and look quite healthy.

Yay!!! Congratulations Poppi!! :clap:

 

[smokejuan]

Nice and healthy

Looks like a healthy bunch. How many males involved in the three sacs or was it one potent fast male? :worship:

 

[Brando]
