You have some really nice looking T's there. I really like the way you have the enclousers set up. I have been using fake plants in mine. Are you using real plants? If so what do you use?
Thanks

So bro, i use real plants yeah. I don't know the names of them but they are of the most common type. Need little light and water. Like those used in offices. I will try to discover the name of these plants.

Mating Avicularia avicularia

Hi ya all. yesterday i tried mating my avics. The male is with only one pedipalp and i am not sure it has the little hook in it. I think he migh be shooting blanks unfortunately. SO it is quite probable i mate her with another male if i am able of getting one.

Here are the pictures.

The male by itself:

The males aproach:

The females reception:

Mating:

Female slowly releasing the male:

Females on its own after having mated:

BTW the female has around 16 cm and the male 17 - 18 cm (he is quite bigger than her in leg span).

I left them together as the recipiente is spacious and they can find food and water with little distress.

Right now i have a couple of chilobrachys living together too.

Hope u all enjoyed, plz leave your comment.

Updates !!

Hey kyle thanks for the pics bro, very much appreciated. Here goes a couple of pics of my girl. I took em last week. She is in desperate need of a molt, last molt was more than 1 year and a half ago. Well here it goes:

I will take this oportunity to update the pictures of my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. I chose to photograph only the fatter one for now.

She went through a molt 20 days ago + or - and hadn`t eaten since. This weekened i recieve some mealworms, so the feeding party around here started heheheheheeheheh. Here is a sequence of her taking 4 mealworms in 2 days. Observer the growth of the abdomen.

First mealworm

Second mealworm (in the same day)

and this last picture she looks like a ball. I took it after she had finished the third mealworm and had already got the fourth one. I give another 15 - 20 days for her to molt The other 4 cm sling is practically in the same position.

I will also post two new pictures of one of my favourites eheheheheheheheheh

Here we go: Heteroscodra maculata

These pics were the first i took with my new cam, nikon coolpix 5600 P2 so its kind of bad, but anyways, you can get the idea of my little girl.

And last but not least, my gravid Vitalius sorocabae:

I am still working on that flash

Hope you all enjoy the updates.

2 CM Poecilotheria rufilata

4 CM Poecilotheria rufilata

 

[Scorpiove]

I know its not a T but i would like to show you all my only scorp. It molted last week. I am not quite sure how big he is right now. i will have to measure later. Hope u all enjoy.

Hey I love your pics but I have to tell you that is no Pandinus imperator . The proof is in the claws. Emperor scorpions always have very granular (tiny bumps) claws. Your scorps claws are very smooth.

http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&q=pandinus+imperator

Google shows various pics of Pandinus imperator All with granular claws. Watch out even some of the pics on google aren't P. imperator either. Most are, just look for the granular claws . Even baby emps have granular claws. Just thought you would like to know.

 

[Cpt.nemO]

What scorpion do you think it is ??

Thx for the advice bro !

I will try to take some macro shots of the claws later on today

Hi Nemo,
Kyle is right, that is a Selenotypus sp. without doubt. I know I told you it was "Selenocosmia", but I was incorrect, Selenotypus.

No problems Steve ! Thanks for the confirmation though Geez i love the Ts from Aussie, its a pitty they aren`t exported yets. Steve how long do you think it would take for you to start sending em ??? I understand that applys that "grandson" rules where you need to have bred two generations right ??

Nice having u around

 

[Steve Nunn]

Hi Nemo,
That is correct, I have to prove up to two generations breeding with all species applied for. That's no big issue, I've been breeding these things for a long time Compiling the records was not easy, they are very thorough, to the point of extreme in their requests, several inspections and presentations later, it is approved Within the month they will be available worldwide.

Cheers,
Steve
