Got a nice surprise this morning :)

[KezyGLA]

So after recently seeing someone post a photo of their Lasiodorides striatus, I decided I wanted one heheh

I had not seen any other Lasiodorides apart from polycuspulatus before.

So it looked good and had me interested in keeping one. I has seen some listed on classifieds from breeder in Germany so I sent him an email to have a chat.

He had 0.2.2 large juveniles listed so I was Interested in buying a female and let him know my intentions. He had replied saying would do a good deal for me if I bought the 2 females at 120€ inc. shipping. I thought that was reasonable seing as I dont see much of these about for sale after thorough searching.

After telling him I am good with that and willing to go ahead, he then informed me that he would send me the 2 unsexed large juveniles for free. I was in shock ahah. That was music to my ears! I wrote him back to show my appreciation of the gesture of the free Ts

So fast forward to this morning, a parcel arrived and within it a large styro box. I opened to find it very well packed with 72hr heatpack still nice and warm. Always re-assuring when see these things.

After I had removed what I thought was my 4 new Ts tubs I noticed something a little further down. It was a wrap with 4 medium vials inside with 4 more small juveniles

I still cant get smile off of my face. It is the first time I have received 6 great freebies with the purchase of 2 Ts.

What a kind breeder indeed. Was Saint Nicholas German? They are growinng on me these Germans

Here are some photos of the new arrivals.

0.2.0

#1

#2


0.0.2 Large juveniles
#1 (suspect female)
#2 (suspect male)


Small juvs 0.0.4




Also I have a question. Can anyone who is keeping/has kept these before tell me how big this sp. will grow? I cant find adult size anywhere.


Thanks in advance

I didn't know I wanted one until I saw your pics.

These are commonly mistaken for A. seemanni. They are from similar localities and look a little similar.

But I like the purple hue on carapace and femurs and the orange stripes on the legs

Was just gonna say this. It looks a lot like a seemani aside from the brownish stripes and lovely purple.

They're stunning! I love the orange stripes. Congratulations on your awesome new additions.

I only wanted one ahahah. Gods honest truth

I am getting rid of a massive C. minax 'Brown demon' and a Theraphosa strimi subadult. Will have room for a P. mut and the striatus

Oh wow they do have purple! I did a double-take when scrolling through the pictures haha! I thought I saw purple on the thorax so I scrolled back up to look closely, but assumed it was just a light/camera trick. These are really beautiful and adorably goofy looking T's. I love the subtle colors on the thorax complemented by the Orange booty hairs and knee pads.

I have seen photos of AF of the sp. jeeez the carapace can be huge! Usually giving purple shine with copper highlights.

Mine have a good bit of growing to to but hey I cant wait

Hello,
this T was sold to me as A. seemanni. I was a little skeptical about the accuracy at...
