Pamphobeteus sp. "Santo Domingo Goliath"

[Angel Minkov]

Okay I'll look at it when able. Thanks Tom and thanks Angel for the heads up.

Anytime. The slings on the last page of the genus thread are of aff. nigricolor, which I am unsure if its the same species, but yes, the slings look exactly the same - no christmas tree pattern.

I sent him an email yesterday, just waiting to hear back.

Sounds good can't wait to see the photos that should be posted on his website.

LOL...I have been trying to get top photos of her for some time now but, alas, she is very skittish so most of my photos of her are through glass. She is definitely not as thick as my stirmi that are close to her in size and my SDG is a slower grower. She is leggy like them so I'm sure she should get 8-9" but she will not be as heavily bodied for sure. I have raised stirmi, blondi, apophysis, genics, Lasiodora species and the SDG seems like a cross between the apophysis and genics in body type. I had a hobby nigricolor that was not as leggy, this girl has much longer legs like Jose's photos. I would think she will thicken as she gets older as all T's do. Here is a shot of a recent stirmi molt whose carapace measures 1.5" side to side and front to back. Theraphosa's are by far the heaviest bodied T's I know of.

Awesome, thanks! How do their urticating hairs stack up, in your experience?

The SDG rarely flicks...she is very shy and is always close to her hide entrance. Theraphosa in general have some of the worst urticating hairs I know of. I am not allergic to the hairs luckily, but Benadryl crème works for instant itch relief when I get itchy.

Cool, thanks for the info!

Now you got me wanting a Theraphosa species...ugh lol. Hopefully I can sell the Ts I have right now to make room, and funds, to buy some larger NWs haha.

@BobBarley when are you getting your Goliath/Santa Domingo Goliath?

Just ordered two today along with a T. sitrmi. No more t's for a while now. Should be here Thursday-ish.

I hate you lol, what is the size of the Goliath compared to the stirmi? I have 2 antinous (2") and 2 Goliath (1.5") coming in tomorrow, not the same size as I would like, but close enough haha.

Stirmi is listed as 1.5-2" and SDG at 1.5", so a little closer in size.

Do you mind messaging me where you're getting them at?

Sent!

Couldn't get any photos of the antinous as they quickly darted into their hides, but the Goliath was out and about. Fed them too.

Both are probable female at 1.5"

Beautiful! Congrats!

MY SDG arrived at 3 inches a basic light brown colour - 1 male and one female - the same looking - no christmass tree ...

They are now big and cool and blackwith a bit of red on the face - eat snakes on occasion. no Christmas tree.

reminds me of a fancy LP
