The business end of a Macrothele gigas.

If you look closely you can see the chelicerae teeth.

 

[basin79]

Not full grown but she's got to a decent size now. Arrived as a small sling 3rd August 2018. She's eating a morioworm in the measurement pic so isn't actually laid flat.

You can see the black pigment or skin is actually missing from one of her eye clusters.

One of my Sicarius thomisoides moulted today.

Can't help but imagine an enemy out of the Doom universe.

Got some pics of this little stunner this afternoon.

Kiss of death.

Indeed. But it was only a little quick kiss rather than a 20 minute Frenchy off a mantis.

Bit of an update on the Liphistius trapdoor slings. The sp Khao Luang (right) is still a bit behind the yangae but will catch up. Some state they grow slow but it's more they're that tiny as slings when they arrive. You can see they grow at a reasonable pace.
Yangae now

Cheers ears. Was one of the best decisions I ever made getting a camera. You see so much that you'd usually miss. Made me appreciate the hairy little buggers even more.

I get you there I like to watch my spiders through the close up on my phone you see so much that you miss with your eyes I may have to look into a better cam now so I can see more again
