H. maculata, would not come out for pictures, so I had to take what I could get.



H. lividum, she looked just as beautiful in natural light with no flash.




P. cancerides male in the grass.

thats a real nice collection u got there :clap:

although i dont know the scientific names i recognize a few of them

one i think was a cobolt blue and i really really want one of those

 

[Lorgakor]

Thank you, and welcome to the Boards!

Yeah, the cobalt blue is a very nice looking tarantula! Of course once they burrow you won't see much of them. I've been lucky with this one, she is not defensive and she doesn't burrow, she just uses a terra cotta pot that she webs closed.

You'll learn the scientific names soon enough, soon you won't even remember some of the common ones!

ive just put a deposit down on a 3 year old cobalt blue ;P

a few questions tho.its a 3 year old female about 3"/4" and has not got the blue shine yet,is this normal? or could it be younger than he thinks?

Congrats, I'm sure you will love your new T! Not all H. lividum have the same colouring, I've seen some that aren't quite as bright. Also, maybe they are wrong about the age, I'm not positive, but I don't think a 3" one would be three years old. Juveniles are not as colourful as adults.

As far as advice goes, I can't really help you out much, as mine is insanely mellow. I can put my hand in her enclosure no problem, and I know this is not the norm. I would advise you to search the forum for info on H. lividum, that should help prepare you for it. Good luck and be sure to post pics!

Thanks! Yeah, he is a bit of a monster!

I don't know what the bump is. She has had it for quite some time. Apparently she has molted several times with no problems or changes to the lump. I have not seen her molt in my care however, so I am still waiting to see if she can in fact survive molts like that. It could be a parasite, it could be scarring from an old injury. There are two scratches on top of the lump, so it could have been injured. I just observe her and feed her. She is eating no problem, but she doesn't burrow. Anyhoo, I don't know what it is, but I'm hoping nothing serious.

He's just about eight inches. How big is your T. apophysis? Must be pretty huge!

I wish I did. What did yours get the bump from? Was it a parasite? I'm just waiting and watching with this one.

Nice pics, is Hagrid blondi or apophysis?
