how much time had passed till u mated P.irimia?

Aaron

she was mated April 1. the problem is in a poor enclosure design, she lives in such a half-buried hollow cork branch, I cannot check the inside unless I dig everything up, which would mean a big stress for the female, in case she already has the eggsack, or is just creating it. I rather wait and let her be, she should have all the silence and moisture she needs..the worst thing which could happen, is that I will have to collect hundred little irminias around the terrarium

 

[aaronrefalo]

hehe...but can u imagine...1 day out of the blues you see this thiny ones coming out.....you would begin jumping...knowing that u havent even saw the eggsack...goodluck...i realy like that species...hehe...i want one...

Avicularia metallica, the same as above in this thread, after molt. after those 16 months since the last molt, the hair on legs and carapace was so rubbed off, that the shed skin is almost transparent. it was so long that I thought he is going to die. instead, surprise, an adult male tommorow he is leaving to see some ladies

yesterday I played with the camera again, managed to get two better pictures..

All beautiful spiders. Thanks for sharing some of your collection

 

[Cirith Ungol]

Stunnig pics of stunning spiders! Nice collection you got there!

 

[Grimlock]

It's really amazing how much different the A. metallica looks post molt. But, I guess that's what 18 months will do. :O

Great pics and awesome collection. Thanks for posting.

The pictures are awesome, I think I am drooling on the keyboard now.

 

[Alias]

Thank you. some photos are better, some are worse, I am not a skilled photographer at all, so its all about trial and error

here is a freshly molted B.vagans, young adult female. the fresh velvet black is amazing, this is one underestimated Brachypelma species.

Brachypelma boehmei, fresh post molt

 

[Alias]

one more subfusca

 

[Alias]

I got some better results recently. I bought a large piece of cork bark for photographing, the contrast with dark spiders looks nice imo..

[ScorpZion]

[Alias]

how fast did yours grow ? and when did the colour morph start ????....Thats one huge subfucia !!!! Good lookin T's Man !!! :clap: :clap:

this one was bought in 1st molt 20.9.2003. following molts were:

12.10.03
15.11.03
22.12.03
10.2.04
23.4.04
10.7.04
4.11.04
28.4.05

as for the coloration, as far as I remember, real significant change happened between 5th and 6th molt. I think.

even today you can still see the rest of "child" coloration, especially the pattern on the abdomen. I hope for the full adult coloration with next molt.
