I agree with you Jeff. Doesn't look like schioedtei. Maybe a haplopelma sp.?

On second thought, I might be wrong. I agree that the lighting could be throwing me off. Anyways, looks like a nice spider regardless.

All I know is I bought her from Ken as a female C.shioedtei

New inverts I got at the reptile show.

Sold as "Rear honred baboon" :rolleyes:




Female A.sp. Peru purple




Smaller unsexed A.sp. Peru purple




This one I'm not sure of, sold as "Togo starburst baboon" I was thinking P.lugardi, to tan to be H.mac right?






M.Velvetosoma




The ones not pictured are the female C.ritae I picked up and the A.metallica(well hopefully, bought it from a cluless vendor)

Nice collection but dude, you gotta get a bit more humidity into some of those enclosures ie the C.fasciatum, P.regalis, H.lividum, L.parahybana, P.cambridgei and M.velvetosoma all of these species need humidity......

Thanks Terry. :) I atally traded her at the show, her and the P.platyomma, the only NW's in my collection I'm really trying to keep are ones like Psalmo's, Avics, and any others that don't kick hairs.

mcluskyisms- I'm not trying to come off arrogant or anything so I apologize if it comes off like that, but for the C.fasciatum, they do not always need to be moist, I keep the sub dry but have a water dish and wet the sub directly from time to time but my large female does not like the sub moist, and she still laid a dud sac and actually just molted within the last few days.

The H.lividum's humidity was fine as well, the top couple inchs of sub was dry but the bottom was moist, she ws completely fine, specially since she did like most and stayed in her burrow 9 times out o 10.

As for the P.regalis, they were fine as well, both molted multiple times, again, dry sub with a light mist time to time and a small water dish.

The L.P., her sub was moist, fresh squeezed eco-earth with about 5 hand full's of dry mixed in.

The P.cambridgei, does have moist sub, plus a water dish, and I mist her cage in a corner every week or every other week and she will some times drink from there.

The M.Velvetosoma, the sub is only dry in that six inch area, other wise, I over fill the water dish, plus I have a live Potho's in the enclosure which gets watered every four or five days, so the sub on one side is completely moist.

I know they need humidity, I just do it differently.

P.s. I have sold the H.lividum, last I heard she was being nice enough in Link's care to co-hab for breeding. Sold both P.Regalis as well and as I said, traded the L.P.

The one on the top looks like H. maculata, but not the bottom. You're probably right in saying it's a Pterinochilus species. Doesn't look arboreal.

Thanks anubis, actually the one sold as a "Rear horned baboon" is S.calceatum, and it looks male to, which is fine by me since my other one is female. :)

As for the "togo baboon" I'm leaning more to P.Lugardi after looking at more pictures of them, and yeah they completely webbed the bottom of the enclosure's over night and made a small starting burrow.

Actually Anubis I believe you are correct about the "horned baboon" being an H.mac, after looking through more pics and comparisons I believe I should have just kept my yap shut :) Thank you for the input, made me search more.
