Heteropoda simplex
This species is massive compared to my other huntsman. This female is like 6 inches DLS.

Wow, that's about as big as my Holconia immanis was when she died :(. Wish I could find some more of those, she was the best, and most laid back, True that I've owned. But I'll settle for some of the Heteropoda simplex if you breed them, and I wouldn't mind some of those green Gnathopalystes sp. either :D.

I just have the female simplex. I have a group of the Gnathopalystes, although I don’t know the male to female ratio.

Phoneutria fera
Could you please upload pics of this specimen where the dorsal ophistosoma is clearly visible and if possible also pics where the ventral femur of the first leg pair is visible?

I suspect we have mis-ID'ed P. fera in the european hobby. Would be interesting if you've the same in the US.

There’s were similar issues here. The one in the photo is actually nigriventer.

We have spiders sold here as "P. fera" that seem to be in fact the Central American P. boliviensis morph.

I'm not surprised to see mis-ID's here and usually don't comment on those, but it'd been interesting to see the very same mistake made in Europe AND in the U.S. in the same time frame. I wonder where those specimen came from.

They were imported from Europe.
