Very nice!

I like these guys! For some reason I am drawn to look at them. Maybe the color?

 

[robc]

His color is unreal, at night all you see is orange legs walking around...very awsome spider.

I just recently got an M robustum sling and I am super excited. I haven’t heard of that many people keeping them and so I was a little nervous at first but after two molts and a voracious appetite along with lots digging/excavating I think he is pretty healthy and happy!

Here's mine. She got a rehouse recently and had to be unearthed. Saw her for approximately 1 minute and then she disappeared down the new burrow. She was bigger than I expected, I think she's probably over 4 inches at this point.

That’s a beauty! I’ve heard they spend more time out in the open when they mature but it sounds like yours is still a little skittish? Mine will come out if I have it very dark and still but as soon as I come in to get a photo he is gone in a flash. Still a beautiful spider though!

She's still a juvie, she was around the size of yours about a year ago. And she is very secretive, the rehouse was the first time I've seen all of her in quite some time. I see legs occasionally and that's about it so far. I know she comes out at night sometimes because the dirt piles move around.
