You're thinking of X. immanis- Columbian Lesserblack and the photo above is a P. nigricolor- Blue Bloom Birdeater. The carapace has a similar starburst pattern but, they are not the same genre.

Guess who had a female that needs to be bred? Yup, me. I have been trying for a while. I'm right next door!

Thank you everyone. I have had a great response for females with him. I am starting to line up a breeding train for him, if all goes well at each of the steps.

Holy Crap! everyone keeps posting these fantastic looking P. nigricolors:drool: best of luck on breeding.

 

[drunkinmaster]

Whatdya know I have a female too!

 

[stonemantis]

I have two slings on their way to adulthood. Good luck on finding a mate or mates for this striking male.

Congrats, sadly the video is too dark to see any of the good stuff. They stayed hooked up for quite awhile. Good luck with a sac though!

woaaah

Very nice spider, this one i will take in to consideration for some of my next ones. What can you tell me about this girl. As far as tempermants and other cool facts?

 

[pato_chacoana]

Hello, not difficult to take care of them.

They are very cool fast growers. It's amazing the size they gain with each molt and how often they do it.

I keep Pamphobeteus quite cool, around 24ºC day - 20ºC night. They eat and do very well in lower temps too. I keep humidity high with the moist substrate sphagnum moss mostly
This female is in her hide most of the time, I use tree bark.

I cant wait for mine to get bigger even tho it is just gorgeous at 1.5 inches. There is really no not gorgeous time with this species,however.

 

[Randomhero148]

Cool i would love to buy a baby slings. How are the tempermants, and how much do they cost? I have been buying tarantulas as slings its cheaper, also you never know how people raise them. I just got an obt and a suntiger, both under 1" now if i bought them as adults who ever raised it could be like those people on you tube that poke them with sticks.

 

[pato_chacoana]

Well, I personally like to raise them from slings too. But when buying spiders it's always good to do some research about arachno-dealers, some of them have quality spiders, some don't. Take a look at the Sales section of AB and the dealers reviews, it might help. I can't help you much 'cause I don't buy from them 'cause I from Argentina, far far from the US. About prices, well US prices are high comparing to Europe's, and Pamphobeteus species (for what I've seen in adds) are not often available, while in UK and Germany are quite common and fairly cheap.

About temperament, most are hair kickers when disturbed. Not aggressive, a bit defensive and skittish, great eaters and growers. I love this genus. If you're are into big terrestrials and NW spiders, I highly recommend you any Pamphobeteus, Xenesthis, Lasiodora, Megaphobema and Theraphosa...all of them, cool genera.

Best regards,
Pato.
