I miss this lady. She was sold to me by a fellow hobbyist who was bitten by her and got traumatized. After the bite, he told me that it was very painful and his veins also became visible from his arm that extended all the way to his neck. The pain he told me was almost unbearable. He had palpitations and he thought that he was going to die.
He asked me to get her as soon as I can as he just wants to get rid of it. After getting this gorgeous girl, I immediately placed her in a five gallon tank with a seven inch substrate. She became calm and less defensive, also eating heartily after adjusting.
I had her until 2011. She was big. She reached around 8.5 to 9 inches in dls.

My huge Ceratogyrus darlingi. One of my favorites now. She loves her new enclosure. One of the rare occassions that she is up and about. Most of the time, she is just comfortably tucked in her burrow.

My newly acquired Theraphosa apophysis (around 3.5 inches DLS). Such a challenge to take care of this in this sweltering heat (Manila weather). Still, it's pretty much relaxed in it's enclosure.

My Orphnaecus sp Romblon female. This was sent overseas for identifying purposes. She was a jet black sling and juvie, until this molt.
These are defensive and skittish Ts from the Philippines. I kept her in an enclosure with a mix of dry and wet substrate. Humidity here in Manila is a constant 70 to 90%.
