Thanks, dude, my female just moulted, but the male is still a juvie. So the plan is simple. Mate them in Autumn 2005. Hope my male will be adult for then.

Honestly, I have no idea about You Hysterocrates, I never had one, and don't want to tell You edit...

Unidentified Hysterocrates sp. sling (poss. gigas or crassipes).

Just a thought.... That looks nothing like my H. gigas sling, and a lot like my C. crawshayi sling.

I have a crawshayi sling (the same size). It's not as hairy as Hysterocrates and it's more red. On Martin Hubres site there's an article about Hysterocrates escape strategy. My is similar to his spider.

I agree, I don't think it is Citharischius crawshayi. If I'm right Hysterocrates gigas, has also a "Dark Form" and a "Red Form".

Chilobrachys sp. 'burmensis' sling

There is no "dark" form or "Red" form of H. gigas. The spider turns red when it has been a long time since it molted. When freshly molted H. gigas are dark brown..

My H. gigas after the moult gets velvety black with a little tan of green on the carapax and silver at her legs endings...
She gets dark brown after aprox 2 months and before the moult she seems to be very light brown.

But she is never like Yours morda...
Maybe it's just another Hysterocrates

BTW where did the name Rusty red babbon come from ?? Maybe You've got the pure H. gigas ??

 

[morda]

This weird Hysterocrates was form Pol. Labeld as H. hercules, Nigeria. It's after 5th moult. I have no idea what this can be...

 

[Tarantula]

I can almost guarantee that its not a real H. hercules. Extreamly rare specis. Dont belive that there is a "real" one in captivity that is known of.

 

[morda]

Yes, I know. I also believe that there are no true hercules in hobby. This could be some hybrid... well - we will see.

 

[Tarantula]

It could be absolutly anyting. Thats the hard part when keeping Hysterocrates sp.

 

[morda]

Yeah - the biggest problem is when You plan to breed them. You can't be sure about Your male/female species, and that's why we have many hybrids. There is so many different colour forms... etc.

 

[Tarantula]

Yes LOL! I have a pure gigas over here.. who I have mated whit a pure gigas male

 

[morda]

Just some pix:
1. Acanthoscurria geniculata - adult female.
2. Stromatopelma calceatum - juvenile male.

 

[Tarantula]

ahh very nice pics! How big is the calceatum in legspan?

 

[morda]

Calceatum is about 7cm (2.75 inch). He's a psycho!
