~4" Unsexed and very unhappy Hysterocrates sp.

The spider above finally matured:

He hasn't gotten any friendlier though:

Hey Becca,

Great pics! Any idea how many molts until maturity for your male?

Hey Becca,

Great pics! Any idea how many molts until maturity for your male?

He's still not mature. I expect him to mature in the next 1-2 molts. I've had him since April of 2005 and so far he's molted 7 times in my care (I've had him from about 0.25" - 0.5".

Hysterocrates sp.

The most unfriendly spider I have ever had, female.

And the mating. Sorry, not so good pic.

I've found the female very unaggressive towards the male. He will push her around in her burrow, even after mating, and just hang out in her web.

dinner time

some communal shots (temporary holding tank while i sell)

at night everyone is out wondering around, but most of them started hiding when i started taking shots you can see some of their butt sticking out of the burrows.
