1 male and 2 females, all found here inside home (Very common here, today i´ve found another one. Took it and released in the garden :B )
I have them for 8 or 9 months
The male acts like wandering spider, very agressive >.<

Really nice pictures! Incredible colors. I had no idea they carried their offspring like that.

What happened to that gecko? I see the claw and it's all wrong

Damn... amazing pictures (and a lot of them that's also nice)
Wolf spiders are definitely one of my favourite spiders. So much more interesting than T's which never move or stay hidden for the most of their lifes
I didn't knew that they already produced another eggsac when they are still carying the spiderlings :?
The shot with the large roach is superb...

PS: what is HR Giger :? an artist or something?

Btw, what camera do you use?

Giger did the original painting/drawing in the back ground of one of the pics

let me count which one...
in the third set, in the 12th pic, the creepy woman's face on the left hand side of the pic is a work of art by HR Giger
that is a google image search with safe search turned ON

to see all of his works you have to turn the filter off, but i can't post a link to an unflitered search =P

he's known for disturbing/erotic/mecha-organic art

done killed his self, if i remember correctly

oh, he made artistic basis for the aliens in Alien

edit: man i forgot how creepy that dude looked

 

[Gesticulator]

Absolutely amazing pictures. Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see the eys and the jaw and how they differer from those of a tarantula.

 

[Stefan2209]

Wow,

indeed very nice pics, thanks for sharing! :clap: :worship:

Looks like the species, which is sold as Lycosa erythrognatha over here. I kept a male of this species last year. They´re quite aggressiv, but fortunately lack the climbing skills of the banana spiders.

Please show us some more brazilian true spiders, if you got pics.

Greetings,

Stefan

P.S. Did you have any trouble with raising the slings? A buddy of mine bred those but wasn´t able to keep the slings alive, all died.

@cacoseraph:

Thanks for sharing man I didn't have a clue. His work is... different Really strange, but pretty cool actually.

Thanks!

all i can say...

...is DAMN. Those are some great spiders! :clap: Those are some of the most amazing and interesting pics that I have seen in a long long time. They are very wicked looking. I agree with Stefan, show more pics if you have them. Once again, very nice pics.

P.S. are they very toxic?

peace,

Bobby

No, they aren´t.

In the 1930 this species was known as Lycosa (Scaptocosa) raptoria and people believed this spider to be very dangerous. It was believed that the toxin would cause severe necrosis and eventually even death. Some years later it was found out that the afforementioned spider-bites had been inflicted by spiders of the genus Loxosceles.

Recent research showed that L. erythrognatha is harmless to man.

i know that name has been around for some time in the European hobby but who has identified those as L. erythrognatha ?

PS:
i'm also seeing more then one specie here no ??? :?

 

[WithCerberus]

Strange that a spider that is harmless would be so aggresive and have that great threat display. I wonder if ithas any thing to do with mimicry. They do look a little like Phoneutria nigriventer and have a similar threat display.

Hi,

maybe, may not be.

Personally, i don´t think that´s mimicry, whenever i saw a spider gimme a thread-posture it was the same old "Phoneutria-stance" with every single specimen, regardless of genus and family.

[Schlyne]

Thanks for sharing. Those are great picture and a really nice species.

And the male before the last molt, attacking an icecream stick just for touching him =P
(i told this one was very agressive =D)


Steven and cacoseraph, yep, Giger rules the world =O
All the pics are just one specie, L. erythrognatha

And brazil sux , i can easly find phoneutrias and these lycosas at home, but cant buy the coolest especies cuz its forbidden to have spiders
And i´m a outlaw for having my V. sorocabae and these wolf spiders >.<
Can be arrested :X

Mithrandir, i have a Canon A510 (3.2megapixel)

Wolf spiders are definitely one of my favourite spiders. So much more interesting than T's which never move or stay hidden for the most of their lifes

Same for me =D

hmmm they do not product another eggsac, in the pics, she´s still carrying the eggsac from the lings in her back, there´s more to come from the eggsac =D

P.S. Did you have any trouble with raising the slings? A buddy of mine bred those but wasn´t able to keep the slings alive, all died.

I didnt raised any lings :/
I release all of them in the garden... ( i dont need lings since i can find the big spiders ^^ )
The smaller one that i raised was my male, he was almost 2cm when i started with him


Sorry if my english is too bad :B

Are you serious? That is a pretty crappy law. So you can find these in your house but if you put them in a container you are breaking the law. Sounds pretty silly.
