Some of my red specimens for a random change of pace
Euoplos Variabilis, from @Rhino1 (if you havnt done it, you should give this guy an applause for supplying me with many specimens i never dreamed id get to see personally)
Atrax Robustus "red CF" (bought 2 of these as 1cm slings, 1 recently failed a molt unfortunately but its sibling has shown itself to be one of the very rare red form specimens. These photos are 3 months post molt, so i doubt this is only temporary colouration. Until now she has been very dark brown)
Not really red in colouration, but my remaining female M.Occatoria (red headed mouse spider. Males are vibrant red)
Namea Salanitri (had an MM arrive today, lets hope for some slings soon!)
And finally, my newest specimen which also arrived today. I thought i ordered Euoplos Grandis, not a small tarantula!
Photos cannot express the sheer enormity of this specimen. She is larger than several of my juvenile and subadult T's.
This though, is not a genus im willing to handle during a rehouse for a size comparison photo. They are basically stationary rocks until provoked, at which point they will VICIOUSLY attack whatever moves in close proximity, even if it means snapping a fang on your tweezers or biting 3mm into solid wood. The strength of these little tanks is much greater than a T of the same legspan, and that combined with their quite unknown venom is enough for me to respect them from a distance.
Hope you all enjoy this little update
