First, my biggest female alticeps freshly moulted, LS +12cm:



Then there is just-about-to-molt female aureostriata, LS ~5cm or little more:



Immature male iheringi, LS ~8cm:



Unsexed actaeon, LS. ~5cm:



Also have rcf rosea and sp. concepcion as slings and in few weeks I'll get sub-adult female mollicoma and unsexed juvie grossa. As you can see I just love these guys/girls :D

Wow very nice spiders Skuikki. Remember to post pictures of your mollicoma when you have it. BTW, I found actaeon tend to get dehydrated easily (more so than iheringi). So now I keep mine in slightly moist substrate apart from having a water dish.

Thanks JohnxII. And you don't have to ask for mollicoma pictures ^^ The dehydration thing, I usually pour the "old" water to the substrate, wash and refill water dishes to every Grammostola, even though they would happily live in a drier condition. :)

Hey James, both are gorgeous, but the velvety black on the G.pulchra is just too good!

Nice shot James. I was wondering how they compared to each other.

What's the temperament on the Formosa?

thx

Yeah many people have asked because several folks thought some of the pulchra imports where formosa, but they look a lot different. The formosa are a little more agressive but these are WC and the cbb are fine and think they will stay mellow.
