My new Psalmopoeus Irminia

[metaldad904]

Got this girl today, confirmed female. I think she might be about to molt. Full of attitude. Cage transfer went real well, no issues at all. I combined two pieces of curved bark which I've thoroughly cleaned, boiled and bake to give her a very special place to hide. Hope ya'll like it!

Add some plants, it will offer more cover as well as anchor points. Its pretty barren as it is.

Beautiful spider, most excellent acquisition.

Definitely will do, this is just what I put together with what I had at home. Next stop is some fake plants and vines.

Very nice! My next T will probably be a Psalmo as well, though I'm leaning a bit more towards cambridgei than irminia as I've heard irminia are far more reclusive. Trying to get some speed and defensiveness in my collection to eventually prepare me for OWs.

good looking T. the P irminia is one of my favorite T's of my whole collection. i know a lot of people use these as a stepping stone to OW's. but my irminia was the most defensive T in my whole collection which included some haplo's some poec's and phormictopus.

Thanks! This one is full of attitude, very willing to charge and bite. Much worse than my P. Regalis who is more just highly skittish. Truly lives up to its reputation haha

Congrats! You got a very pretty girl

Next stop is some fake plants and vines.

Plastic, not silk which have dyes. I use Zoo Med vining plants ('Amazon' and 'Mexican'), they're around $4 for a large bag. Cut to fit, and are reusable.

So my new girl FINALLY molted. Was wondering when it would happen. Hasnt eaten since I got her as far as I could tell. She made it out just fine complete with pissy attitude haha. Here's some pics.

WOW. She looks great! Love those orange chevrons and stripes.

I can't wait for my little ones to get that pretty! Great acquisition! Mother nature really did a good one on this T.

Thank you! I absolutely love this species. They may be a pet hole at times but when you are lucky enough to seen them they are just plain unreal!
