Genus Hapalopus

[tarcan]

Could not find any thread of these... maybe would be good for Sheri's sticky...

A very nice species, H. triseriatus...

Now thats a cool looking T. Is it one of the dwarf species? Kinda looks like C. Elegans body shape sorta. Nice spider nonetheless.

 

[tarcan]

It is a small species, not tiny like C. elegans though

 

[Grim91Z]

Awesome!!!

 

[Apophis]

Awesome species! Is this species commonly kept in the hobby?

 

[tarcan]

Apophis, it is not very commonly kept...

Took a few more pictures tonight of a female of mine.

 

[becca81]

Wow! Very nice, Martin! Any future breeding plans with this species?

Are these in the US hobby yet?

 

[tarcan]

Becca, on my side possible distant future project... but not any time soon...

Some spiderlings were brought in earlier this year in the US, apparently most died as they were sent as 1st instars and the few that survived were kept privatly, not sure if they are still alive or not.

Take care

Martin

Here is a cute little spiderling!

Hopefully at least a male in the future within my spiderlings.

Hi Martin
I'm affraid to say that my mated female moulted out, so unless you have a mature male ready in time for the next expo in Stuttgart that I can use, or if I find another male inbetween it could be that you may find yourself bringing two more females home with you!
Sorry about that.

All the best
Chris

 

[Tegenaria]

Very nice T!

 

[tarcan]

Chris, that is unfortunate indeed, Iwill keep you posted on what I come up on my side, I wonder if I can have mature males as soon as next summer with the specimens I have. I kind of doubt it, be we will see.

Take care

Martin

How big do these get when they're adult?

 

[PhilR]

Missed out on a female of this species a couple of months ago

If anyone's got any to spare or knows anyone who's breeding them (in Europe), I would very much appreciate being put in contact.

[tarcan]

I've got one sexed as a male, not sure what this one is yet.

Lucky guy! I sexed two of my slings and they are females:wall: :wall: I really hope I have a male, only have one sling left to sex.

Big fat female

Amazingly beautiful spider. Never seen these in the UK.

 

[christin]

Wow, I second that! How beautiful! I've never seen one of those either, I'll have to do some research.
