Macrothele monocirculata from China that I bred in 2007. These were awesome spiders, but no longer available.

Macrothele calpeiana is also a great spider. These are a spider family no one wants to get bitten by. I think they are more potent than OBT'S.. same family of Atrax robustus lol why i think not dangerous like them.

Macrothele are beautiful! I will own one one day but...not any time soon!
They are easy to find (Macrothele as genus, i mean) in USA? In Europe are somewhat common.. Germany, Poland, Hungary etc

Macrothele calpeiana is the one I'd probably get (first?), I see them pop up occasionally. I don't want something quite that venomous though any time soon. I just love that jet black color with all that web.

Do you have trapdoors in your collection? I don't because i don't like them much, but Cyclocosmia ricketti is unique, so strange.

Yes, I have an Antrodiaetus sp. that I caught and a Cyclocosmia torreya, because of the same reason that you like C ricketti.

Lately a guy who owns one in Poland (Ctenidae "Red Fang") told me that they are very pretty badass spiders.
It's a spider, i have to admit, i'm very fascinated about.. but too little is know about their venom, and i have a no way policy for "hots" or "supposed hots".
Great spiders, however, Tom, as always.

From my point of view, you are a sort of Christopher Walken "King Of New York" of spiders :)

Where's the venom of those sp. "Red Fang" ranging? Like their relatives, or less potent?

And I totally dig your lunula! Gorgeous, gorgeous spider!

What i know about them is: they are great climbers, extremely fast, and with a better, good eyesight compared to T's.
About the venom - i don't know why - but i think that are less potent than Phoneutria sp. but definitely not a spider someone wanna get bitten by.
I consider those "Hots", however.
