Species Grammostola rosea (a.k.a. Grammostola cala)

[kitty_b]

yeah, the pot had been more of a cave, but she collapsed the substrate and i had to quickly put things back on solid ground.

i've tried to get in there and re-bury it, but she won't have anything to do with me working in there

she won't listen that it's in her own interest, either.

EDIT: apparently she heard you. she let me shutte her to another cup so i could repair her hide spot. no more ostrich!

Nice pictures and thank you for sharing. I saw a little 2" G rosea today that almost came home with me. I think they are highly underrated and just tons of fun! I recently shipped my male off to breed and I sure do miss that gentle guy.

 

[CopperInMyVeins]

Yeah, I just got this female from a friend who has a lot of them. Definitely underrated, I think it's beautiful, and now I'm glad I ended up with a species that's so docile and easy to handle.

I thought it would be nice if I contributed something... so here is my Rose:

This girl is crazy. She is webbing like she was a Chilobrachys.

I love this picture. Look at the web at the spinnerets... cool

 

[TheNatural]

Very good looking G.rosea.
I like when mine ones web all over.

 

[Fierce Deity]

That is crazy. I love how she webs up everything, except the entrance to the little hide. Not even my GBB webs close to that much.

 

[necroscope]

very nice pics, my rosea seems to lay a web all over the substrate but not quite like that.I love the rainbow effect on the web still moist coming off the spinnerets.

cheers mike

 

[jwasted]

very nice pics! That looks awesome

 

[xgrafcorex]

so are there silk glands all over the spinnerets? i just always figured it came out of the tips, but the picture seems to suggest otherwise.

 

[Arlius]

Don't feel too bad, it threw me for a loop too when I first found out that it is ejected along the entire length of the spinnerettes. I always thought it came out their butt and they used the spinnerettes to stretch and place it....

 

[Steffen]

Hehe I think we are all more or less guilty of that. Thx for the comments.

Been trying to mate a couple of G.rosea females and i caught the male stuck in this position for quite sometime.

 

[Endora]

You know someone will end up saying this : Rosie are always weird. I have seen mine in that same position, but i wasn't trying to breed her or anything, she just does some weird poses at times , actually more often then not
