OOOOOOOOOO
I think I just had an accident

you might want to go and put a diaper on...

I have an equally gorgeous Hapalopus sp. and much more rare for you here! You can pick them up this week end when you come if you want.

See ya!

Martin,

is it the black one with the red on the abdomen.... or the very orange one? Or neither? The orange one is fantastic! Or maybe H. butantan?

Chris had a male H. triseratus mature a few weeks back, so we are now in the process of getting our females here in TX mated, which I'm very happy about.

Nice one Eric, I hope things work out for you since I dont think it ever happened over here. My male was so scared of the female , and she kept getting frustrated and eventually jumped him:wall: Dont think he ever got it in once, at least he never flipped her over like that. Sure would be nice to raise up another group of these.
Good luck man!

Ah man I'm sorry to hear about your trouble.
These are some of my very favorite spiders, so I'm really hoping to have some luck here. I'll make sure some babies head over to you if I'm fortunate to succeed with them.

I've been admiring that beauty for awhile now.

The photographer (an arachnologist/professor from Brazil) put those photos on his Flickr about 2 years ago... see higher resolution shots HERE, HERE, and HERE.
