[Aviculariinae]

Hi Kyle,
Don't take what i said to heart i am just taking the piss cause all aussie Ts are brown or pretty dull in colour. Its nothing personal just sarcasim.

 

[smalltime]

Don't be discouraged by anyone... I love seeing more of those rarer (for the hobby at least) species :worship: :worship: Whether they are brown, black (like most Avicularia,,,,, ) or rainbow coloured.

 

[kyle_de_aussie]

[MeteoRa]

In fact they did have one Steve it was an Ischnocolinae I believe the only one found outside mainland Europe and a giant amongst it’s kin Pseudoischnocolus bipedalis Its a sad tale see the little people liked to use them as steeds (and also fight them) and this lead to crash in there population (that and there need to feed on the scrapings from inside stout barrels ).

P.S Brown but with a nice Seleno sheen

 

[Chironex]

Awesome! Where abouts did you find it and how big is she?

forgot to ask whats her temperment like?

 

[kyle_de_aussie]

She was found somewhere north of me i live in gladstone qld she is about 14cms legspan but thats just by lookin havent been able to measure her properly yet.This one has a surprisingly good temperment considering shes wild caught the other slightly smaller s. crassipes that arrived with her is a different story very fiesty indeed her names ark

That's about the best tarantula natural history story I have ever heard Fry!!

 

[Chironex]

hehe spider history lesson awesome!

Kyle, what other T's you got?

 

[kyle_de_aussie]

HI,
I have 2 crassipes and a selenotypus .ssp and also about to have another selenocosmia.ssp.I had a selenocosmia .ssp before but its gone back to the person who gave it to me for research as its probably got a nematode or parasite of some sort inside it.
What t's do you have?

 

[Steve Nunn]

Hi,
I should add that Kyle was the first person known in Australia to have the Coremiocnemis sp. in captivity. I have that spider in my collection now and hopefully have just sorted out getting some more (providing they are the same I'll send you one Kyle ) for CBing. These would have to be the most colourful T found in Australia. Not real large compared to say Selenocosmia crassipes (17cm), probably about 12-14cm....

Here's a pic of her:

Cheers,
Steve

 

[kyle_de_aussie]

Cheers steve,
Itd sure be awesome to have another one of those t's apart from being very pretty spiders they are also really active the majority of the time and cool to watch cheers mate

I got this girl WC, but I also paired her to a male so I'm not really sure if she came in "gravid" or not. I'll take 'em either way.
