Acanthoscurria geniculata, Nhandu colorativillosus

Thanks, folks!!

Well - my A. geniculata female that was mated on November 5th has dropped an eggsac. It took her about 30-32 hours to complete the entire process.

1.1 Acanthoscurria geniculata mating sequence.

Here's a little update --- these photos taken in the past 24 hours.

And got my N. colorativillosus pair mated -

Lasiodora parahybana

Hopefully this pic brings out the beauty of an otherwise under-appreciated tarantula!

Unidentified species, & Ornithoctonus aureotibialis

This specimen is un-identified... it appears, in my opinion, to be from the Phormictopus genus. It is NOT Grammostola, Euathlus, Paraphysa, Brachypelma, Aphonopelma. Anyone have any ideas??

Also- Ornithoctonus aureotibialis, large adult female. This girl is SO difficult to photograph...

Parabuthus laevifrons, Ceratogyrus brachycephalus

Adult male P. laevifrons- local to the Kalahari side of South Africa, and an adult female Ceratogyrus brachycephalus - wild form. The tarantula belongs to user "Ceratogyrus" here on Ab.com- and we'd both like to point out the difference in horn shape between his 'wild caught' (recently molted though) female compared to the 'hobby form'. My hypothesis is that the 'hobby form' is muddled with bechuanicus/darlingi... (do an image search here for comparisons!) enjoy!

Nice pic's as always.
the Unidentified species, could it not maybe be a Trixopelma, can't find any where that says how big they grow, so i could be mistaken, your's looks pretty big and not sure how big Trixopelma grow.

Very nice Matt

 

[calum]

dude, that parabuthus shot is AWESOME!

 

[Endagr8]

awesome pics! I like your nw terrestrial birdeaters. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

[Kimo]

That unidentified species is surely from genus Phormictopus and I have one adult female P.auratus that's looking like that if she is labeled right. Btw. great pictures.

Augacephalus junodi and Parabuthus schlecteri

OG post deleted -
someone on another forum linking to what I wrote in this thread onto another thread before i joined it (a ban-able offense on most forums!).

Anywho - here's Parabuthus schlecteri, local to eastern South Africa.

 

[calum]

wow, you were right the males are microscopic compared to the females... cool shots.

Poecilotheria subfusca

And some shots of one of my female P. subfusca specimens, about 2 weeks post molt - she's somewhere in the vicinity of 10-12cm (4"-5") legspan.

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

She sat still for this photo shoot? lol
Great pics. :drool: :drool: I think subfusca might be my fav. pokie....might.
Are you going to try and breed her?

 

[Ice Cold Milk]

Poecilotheria rufilata and Poecilotheria regalis

She sat still for this photo shoot? lol
Great pics. :drool: :drool: I think subfusca might be my fav. pokie....might.
Are you going to try and breed her?

Ya, once she gets out of her terrarium she is quite timid, and even petrified, I would say. She sat still through the entire shoot.
Yes, I'll be mating her. I have 2 males sitting at 7cm and 2 females at 10-12cm.


On to these photos -
P. regalis and P. rufilata

Matt,

Sorry I've viewed this thread so many times without leaving a comment! Your photos are awesome! I really like the variety in the backgrounds. They are very inspiring to me.
