One of my king slings doesn t burrow much....any concerns or anything like that?Whats the key to keep them burrowing, except the thick layer of substrate...?
This is insane.
The King Baboon i got from www.southernspiderworks.com will let me hold it!!!
She shows no aggresion at all.
Ever heard of one being docile like that?

"Yes. The only known true H. hercules is in a museum in England"
wow that is really rare lol...also i was wondering...if any spiders get much bigger than king baboons wouldn't they rival t. blondi in size?

Swifty has H. Hurcules on his pricelist. :?
Yes he probably has, same as many other European and US dealers. But it isnt a true hercules they are selling. Its most likley its a hybrid of two other Hysterocrates sp. or a misslabled Hysterocrates gigas/crassipes. The genus Hysterocrates is a complete mess.Evil Cheshire said:

Cithariachius crawshayi pairing
I placed Tom's (Philth) male in my female's enclosure. He walked toward her burrow entrance and began to "vibrate" his legs. He had no response so he got closer to the burrow. He then proceeded to tear the silk lining at the burrow entrance. After doing so he went in the burrow halfway. The female came toward him and tapped once. She then followed him out of the burrow. They hooked up three times. During the last hook up she put all of her weight on him and bit him. She held on with most of her legs and flipped over in the process. She then turned over and took him with her down the burrow. I did not see any insertions because of the angle at which I was watching this. He did have enough time to get in some insertions so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Lastly, she descends back into her burrow with him in her fangs.
