It is great that we have shows like that we can go to.
The last 2 pics are of a juvi Arizona Giant Wolf Spider, not sure the latin name right off the top of my head. They are a sweet true spider. They are a hunting spider so tend to be active and always hungry LOL They get to be a good size to for a true spider. Definitly a kool one to have if you can get your hands on one!

I would guess it to be a Cyriocosimus elegans.

 

[David Burns]

Is the 5th pic a P.metalica? Is it yours?

Is the male Xenesthis an immanis? I hope you have a female for him.

I would have prefered the pics to be labelled. Just a suggestion though

 

[8 leg wonder]

no, that wasn't Dave's, They were on Bruce Carr's table, we just took some pics

 

[Arachnomaniak]

Yes, C. elegans is correct. They are a pretty little species, literally! They don't get very big at all!

Yes that is P. metallica. Such a pretty spider but the pic still doesn't do it justice. Just couldn't capture the irredescence. Unfortunatly that metallica is not mine. I did pick up a few at the show though

As for the male. I don't remember exactly what species it was, that one was at a different table so I can't be 100% sure. Who said purple doesn't look good on a guy anyways LOL

I wasn't thinking when I posted the pics cause after I posted I realized that I didn't add the lables!

Thanx for the info! The spider does look very sweet and has a gd size to boot!
Now if onli i can get my hands on one!! :drool:

The crassicrus lamanai is gorgeous!

The P. metallica is pretty too.

 

[Lorgakor]

Nice pictures! Wish I could have been there to see all those beautiful tarantulas!

 

[Sheri]

I really hope that immanis(?) has been bred. To someone I know, preferrably...

The 8th pic looks like a x. immanis.

 

[Randolph XX()]

i think it was an X. intermedia male, he also has a X.sp "white" on display too

 

[Cooper]

It was an immanis. I asked him.


And I spy some of my spiders in there

Post pics of the snails and crested

 

[Jmadson13]

definitely X. immanis, the setae on the abdomen seem really well defined and what's the word"spiked"

 

[Arachnomaniak]

The X. immanis was definitly a handsome spider. I was pleased the pics showed up so well and that I was able to capture the colour. I always have a hard time getting the true colours. That P. metallica pic for example barley shows any colour. They were absolutley electric blues and yellows at the show!
