Indonesian beauty, or Lampropelma nigerrimum demystified

[TarantulaHomes]

Just got this girl. She is something very different from what I've had before - serious, not skittish, but conveys "I'll kill you if you come close" Enjoy!

And here's her new home

Lovin' the set up, shes a real beauty too.

Vitaliy,

I hear you with them being serious and not skittish. The 2 slings I got from you do the same thing. They are always on the defense and they will absolutely come straight for you when mad. They dont seem to care how big the object in front of them are. Great T's though.

Nice, she's carrying a sac...no wonder why she's most defensive!

Nice addition. One of my favorite sp. by far. Reminds me a lot of how my girl acts.

Umm, she's a little over 4" if I'm not mistaken. She hasn't molted since those pics but as soon as she does I'll post some new ones.

Indeed...last time I wanted to stop, I ended up with 3 more P. metallica, 2 L. nigerrimum, 2 L. borneo black and 1 Poec. lowland lol

 

[Shimotsukin]

Very beautiful, I hope to own one of these one day, along with all the other Lampropelma species, I only have a L. violaceopes so far

TarantulaHomes I have got to ask is that some kind of radiant heat device on top of the enclosure.I could be wrong but if it is I'm curious what it consists of? Beautiful T by the way.

 

[TarantulaHomes]

That's actually both cooling and heating system Copper tubing and a PC fan on top. It's connected to a water pump which will be submerged in warm or ice water.
