Hi,
No problem, I will post more pic's soon ;-)
I have noticed that "some" of my slings are getting big enough
to be photographed. They are in the 3 skin now.
The body is 1,5 cm now, so a half inch. The eyes are good visible.

PS: Here is a pic of the eyes (I tried)

I aquired a couple of these little fellas: Thanks Tom.

I'll get round to some photography with them after a few more molts. This one looked dead in the pot but when I went back later that day it was just sheding. I placed it in a small container with fine vermiculite and some sticks and the following morning it had climed the stick and was webbed up and raring to go.

Even though they are still very tiny their Ogre-like face is visible. These will make awesome photographic studies when they reach ultimate moult. I really hope I have a male female pair in the three individuals I have here.

They realy are. You can even see a sort of pupil
(iris) inside the eyes. (@all, they are just about
8-9 mm body length. Amasing equipment.:drool:

These quickies were taken through the glass of the jar with no preparation on the day after you sent them. When they have settled in I'll put them into a marco rig that I use and get some extreme close ups done. They are (all three) suspended from twigs with casting webs ready. One has taken a cricket tonight.

Any updates from the Deinopis keepers?

Hi,

yeah, but just a very short one:

HERE

Otherwise not much news, still easy to raise and to keep.

Apparently i have two subadult males here and three more specimen that are still too small to be sexed. The rest of my batch i gave away to Gordon.

Greetings,

Stefan

Hey!

Here is an adult female, Deinopis spec. Looking for a male now

 

[Bungholio]

First of all I wish a happy new year to all Arachnoboards members!

Then my second question if anyone has tried to breed them? I had also last year 8 adult females but no males and everyone that I asked had the same situation.
After a few months the adult females died of senile decay.

 

[dtknow]

Someone needs to get these into the US!
