Nice pictures, especially of the Iheringi and Chromatus

Is the moss you are using dried?

And are you Norwegian by any chance? : )

Yes, it's moss, but i don't drie it, put it in a bowl of water, or in the fridge for an hour.

And i am Norwegian, four miles north of Oslo...

Ah ok, but it does die if you don't keep it rather constantly moist. I guess dead moss keeps its color? Then that is most likely a lot more practical for most species.

Kempefine edderkopper i hvartfall!

Hi, and thanks for your comments. I know i need more spiders, but there are already some more there than in those pictures. And on the upcoming saturday, some friends of mine and me are going to an expo in Malmö, Sweden.
We'll have to drive 40 miles each way to get there. Have reserved a bounch of Brachy juvenils, a couple of sub-adult/adult Aphonopelma's (one of them is seemanni"blue form")and i'm also getting my first arboreal, an Avicularia metallica female, which we are gonna try to breed with my friends male. Hopefully there are som more interesting T's there too...
But i have noticed one thing that strikes me, all the Brachy's and Aphonopelma's (U.S T's) are much more expensive in the U.S, than hee in Europe. One of the T's i'm getting is a 3" B.boehmei $35, and an 0.1 A.bicoloratum $42. I think that's weird.....anyway gonna post more pictures of my new T's after the next weekend....

Thank you for your great comments, I have a Nikon D50, with the kit lens Nikkor 18-55, Hoping to buy a Tamron 90mm macro soon, but it's expensive over here....

 

[Norsken]

A week ago we decided to try to breed my Avicularia metallica female

introduced this male

For a couple of hours they just sat stairing at eachother

after more hours without any kind of action, we decided to leave them together for the night, and this is all i found of the male the morning after

Hope he managed to do his job....

Got a molt on my Aphonopelma seemanni juvenil

New clothing

Ater over a month hiding, my Lasiodora parahybana finally decided to show herself again

Also put out a couple of pictures of some new terras i made in the enclosure thread sticked on top in the pictures section.
