My new monster girl

[Veneficus]

I don't know why it's taken me so long to appreciate this species, but I think Chilobrachys are vastly underrated--I just got my new 6-7" C. guangxiensis girl and she is a monster (I'm in love )! Talk about a beast ...she came out of her shipping container on her back and attacking anything which moved. This girl has no fear--she immediately laid down some webbing and set up shop for her next kill, which I promptly threw in a large B. discoid for her.

Impressive girl you have there.... looks very happy to be eating.

She is awesome!! I have a C. Andersoni. I really like her. I will have to locate one like you have. Not even going to try to spell that specie! Good luck with her!!

Thanks! I picked her up from Krazy8's. I think Swifty is selling some too.

It looks like she needs a molt.

I got one from Krazy8s a while ago too. Chris is selling them so dirt cheap it's crazy! Not to mention they are H-U-G-E. I no longer have it but for the time I did it was by far the meanest spider I had. I'm pretty comfortable with Ts but this one always got my adrenaline going when feeding time came around

Sounds like a certain A. geniculata that I know.

Seriously though, she's beautiful! Congrats on the addition.

Thanks, it's partly because of you, lol. I had to sell some before I could get some new ones.

 

[LadyPharaoh]

Aw shucks ma'am. Glad to help. Sounds like we're both happy campers!!

Chilo's are so cool. I have only the one 4" C "huahini" but she is one of my favorites. I like how they move, even when they're going slow they're fast...

 

[SRirish]

Awesome T! Mine is around the same size. Her attitude is second to none so far. When yours molts she will be stunning! And I agree that they are underated. Chilobrachys is quickly becoming one of my favorite genus.

 

[tarantulaholic]

very nice beast. She looks scary. I almost bought a large female C. Huanini. But it got sold.

Yeah, they're becoming mine too. I just got a female C. huahini which is smaller. She's about 4-5". Even she came out of her shipping cup with some attitude--she stood up on all her legs and refused to move, no matter how much prodding I did. I had to wait for her to move on her own time, lol.

I had a similar problem moving mine. She grabbed hold of the cardboard i was using to cap her and absolutely would NOT let go. That was of course after I chased her all over the batroom...
