Finally got a decent, similar posed picture of the two of them. It's been kind of frustrating trying to dig around and figure out exactly what the difference is. Some believe they should be two different species. Others believe the color difference is simply due to the temperature the eggs were kept at. Supposedly it has been recorded that both color forms can come from the same sac. And some people chalk that up to hybridization in the hobby. All very fascinating. All very frustrating. The one thing that kills me a lot of the time in the hobby is, when you search for answers, usually there is none because no one knows for sure yet. Lots of confusion, assumptions, speculation, and general bad information. But somehow it's always still worth looking into and discovering the loose ends for yourself. There's always something to learn and that's why our hobby is great.

I swear that Freshly Molted GBB looks like it just pulled on a brand new pair of 501"s

If someone would ask me for an opinion about lowland/highland P.subfusca, being a different species, I would definitely say they're not. I would even end this nonsense about high and lowland thing .. Spiders can vary in colors.. some different adult females of P.ornata for instance (and it's still just P.ornata)

These are my first poecis. They're both gorgeous, regardless. But all the different opinions kill me. I agree, though. That makes sense the most sense to me. Not complaining though either way. I got three good sized female poecis plus enclosures for three hundred bucks. That's a score in my book.

Avicularia avicularia molted last night.




And my Gorgyrella inermis threw out an exuvium. I'm going to double check when I get home, but I think I spotted a spermatheca. Didn't have enough time to look super close, though.



Chilobrachys fimbriatus before take down.

 

[LuiziBee]

Happy Valentines Day from Cyriocosmus elegans to you. <3

 

[LuiziBee]

Gorgyrella inermis is female! Awesome.

A few days post molt Avicularia avicularia







Grammostola pulchra

 

[LuiziBee]

Edited myself a new photo. lol



Comparison. First recieved, then and now. Thrixopelma ockerti. "Thrixi":



C. elegans



P. irminia



T. ockerti



Shipped off two of my males the other day. P. murinus and C. marshalli. OW T's are 10x easier to get into shipping containers than slow NW T's. Jfc.



Avic avic



P. subfusca highland



Tibial hooks and emboli of MM Brachypelma vagans

Chilobrachys fimbriatus

My little Haplocosmia himalayana is female!



Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens

 

[LuiziBee]

Comparison first recieved, then and now. Pterinochilus murinus, "Muriel".

I made this because I shipped him off the other day. Should arrive at his new home today. Remember when Kelly Swifts shop (swiftinverts.com) burned down and he lost pretty much everything? I recieved this guy from him as a freebie a few weeks before that happened. I think Muriel was probably my second OW tarantula.

Euathlus sp yellow



Haplocosmia himalayana post molt



Poecilotheria subfusca lowland tarsal claw



Poecilotheria vittata first time I've laid eyes on her. Was starting to wonder if there was actually a T in that enclosure. She's MASSIVE! Ran away and hid immediately after photo, unfortunately.



Thrixopelma ockerti

 

[LuiziBee]

This pretty thing was a birthday present to myself in 2012. I only get a chance to see / snap a picture of them once a year. Guess s/he wanted to come out and wish me a happy birthday last night. one of my favorite species, Monocentropus balfouri.







It's funny, too. They are somewhere around 4 years old. Only measuring around 2 1/2-3" DLS. Tiny little buggers not growing at all. lol
