Phoneutria spec. - Fresh imported

[Emanuele]

Hi Stefan. Couldn't you identify her by the epigynum?
If you want I could try to identifiy it for you, I only need some Phoneutria publications and the specimen in alchool 70%.
Cheers

Hows it going with the clutch you got in the summer?

Hi Ema,

thanks for the offer, but the female is only promised to "Improver" for ID. Bastian has gained a lot of knowledge this year, regarding the taxonomical ID´ing of spiders and especially of Phoneutria.

He has the papers and the equipment and the two most important things: he has experience (it was he who id éd the P. boliviensis and the P. reidyi) and good commo with Diana Silva if he should happen to have troubles.

Greetings,

Stefan

Hi,

good.

16 specimen left, the biggest have alreday legspans around 2-3 inch (5-6cm).

Nevertheless, i´m a bit concerned, as i was informed this week, one other breeder here had the extreme "luck" to raise 12 specimen of P. nigriventer without any troubles, just to realize he had 12 females...

However, i´ve got still some 50 slings from the last sac here, guess i´ll try to raise at least some 5 to 10 specimen from that batch to adulhood, too. Just to make sure.

5 more spiders went as a present to switzerland this fall, so there is some kind of back-up, too, if things should go all wrong.

We´ll see, so far, it´s pretty ok.

Greetings,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,
heres your backup ;-). Since we met us, there were no problem with raising these guys (no loss): They are well growing (approximately same size as your specimen), they are greedy and dont really care about prey-size ;-)

Hi Marco,

glad to see the babies are doing fine.

My biggest specimen have some 6-7cm (3") legspans now and develop some temperament...

Better think about breeding, big things have come to Europe...

Hi there,

did some shooting today and started feeling bad about giving all that attention to the new introduced creepies and neglecting my very own babies. So i decided to snap a few pics of one of them, too.

Here we go, specimen from the first batch that hatched at the end of july:

The last batch had just molted for the first time. Got some 30 slings set up communally and added a big load of micro-crix.
Time will show, which ones are going to make it.

Greetings,

Stefan
