Rehoused my beautiful Macrothele gigas today.

If you don't want to watch the video I've put her in this.

She's certainly a decent size after her recent-ish moult.

One of the Sicarius thomisoides slings has moulted again. Mustn't have missed the event by much.

Got some great footage of my Liphistius cf ornatus feeding.

Could clearly make out she's definitely regrown her 2 missing legs.

Lovely speicies. I have a friends that specilized on Diplurids and had many Macrothele sp. How many speicies are there? They have potent venom havnt they?

I'm unsure how many species there are to be honest. I only know 3.

Again I'm unsure on their venom although I do believe a bite off a gigas will ruin a few days. I also have Macrothele calpeiana but they're much, much smaller.

Pretty defenssive beasts

Aye. They're certainly defensive if they feel they need to be. But that's understandable.

Its funny because you would have to pay any of our native Diplurids 1 million crickets for them to give you a threat posture! All they do is run

These will too most of the time. It depends how close "the threat" is. Of course during rehoused then 100% absolutely. Even as slings.

Platythomisus octomaculatus aka 8 spotted crab spider.
