This one is about a 3" or a little bigger eating a roach!

I'm looking to start an appreciation thread on the new species for the U.S. hobby that came in as spiderlings March'06 called:

"Santo Domingo Goliath" Pamphobeteus sp.

A few indivduals bought some of the spiderlings back then. Post your observations of their behavior and pictures and any info that you hear about them here.

I've seen a photo of an adult female. I do not yet have permission to show the author's photo, but it is a stocky, species with large carapace, big, thick legs. Very impressive. Kinda looks like a G. pulchra in color with short, grayish adominal hairs, but it's a Pamphobeteus sp. Santo Domingo is in Ecuador on the western side of the Andes mountains.

I currently have two females... The first is 5" (same side measurement). The second is about 4" (same side measurement).

Since I have had numerous requests (and some time), here are some pics of my two 6" females. Enjoy!

They are gorgeous. This is a species I'm very interested in.

Me too! Seems as though they are still hard to come by and very pricey.
Maybe as they become more available I will actually be able to afford a female without having to sell my plasma :razz:

Hey BLS (I listen to them too), how about if I trade you my 6" female C.Crawshayi and my Mother-in-law for one of your Santo Domingos..?

OMG!!
That's so pretty, it's almost painful to look at.
I m.u.s.t. have one or two --- where did you get it?

 

[Moltar]

I'd call him Purple Nurple or maybe Purple People Eater. I take it that's a male?

Bee-ootiful.
