Ooh I've never seen one of these before, very nice. How large is that one?

They both sat still. Both waiting for the other to make a move.

Time was standing still.

"Ah, forget it!" said Lt. Caine, and ended the dance.

Here's a few more of my Grammeys-first, a close-up of my big G. alticeps girl:

Next, my female G. species "formosa", taken three weeks post-moult, in natural sunlight. She looks VERY different from my G. pulchra girl, especially when in the sunlight. She's got the same sweet personality, though. She really is basically a dark gray, not black, with those frosty highlights.

Here is my lovely old G. pulchra gal, also photographed at roughly 3-4 weeks post-moult, in natural sunlight. She's still one of my favorites, and it's so easy to see why this species is in such demand.

Now, this is a "mystery Grammostola", that I purchased as a G. iheringi, but that's clearly NOT what she is. I don't know what she is, actually, though I'm pretty sure she is a Grammostola. She's a neat, pretty T, regardless, so I'm hanging onto her, though I'd still love to add a real "Entre Rios" to my collection.

Here's my young female G. actaeon I recently got from Singapore Blue here on DA:

And, yeah, she's just a common Rosehair, a dime-a-dozen G. rosea, but this girl is still one of the prettiest specimens I've ever seen of this species. Too bad I can't get the bright irridecent purplish-pink on her carapace to show up in a photo, though.

Your mistery Grammostola is known in the hobby as ''Grammostola chalcothrix'' Maybe found in Entre Rios Argentina, but not in Entre Rios, Brazil, where G. iheringi is. hehe

You can found this species in same habitat as G. mendozae, rocky uplands...but they are much smaller..

best regards,

Thank you, Pato! I've never seen a Grammostola chalcothrix "in person" prior to this one, so I really had nothing to compare her to other than pictures. I'm glad I know what she is now.
