correct. it was sold to me as a "boring brown spider" I was pleasantly surprised and the spider earlier in the thread with the pink carapace and blue tint to the legs is my G.rosea or "Chile rose" Thanks for your comments everyone.

Congrats on the moult, it looks gorgeous! It looks just like my bigger one.
I can't get over the fact that this one was the same size as my little one when I sold it to you, yet mine has not moulted once since I sold this one to you. Yet yours is over 2 inches now, same size as my larger one. It's just bizarre, it's been in pre-moult for months. I keep it warm too. Weird.

 

[Arachnophilist]

LOL yeah I seem to have a <insert arachnid equivalent of green thumb> lately everyone is growing well. scorpions included. was the big one alot larger when u gave me this one?

 

[Lorgakor]

Not a huge difference, but at least half an inch. This one was from a different source than the other two, I got it a couple months after.

[Natemass]

B.vagans is the only brachy i like and yours happens to be a very nice one check out the florida B.vagans you'll be blown away

 

[Arachnophilist]

yeah I am familiar with that awesome colorform of B.vagans.. wouldnt mind getting a hold of one some day.. mind you when this one isnt so fat she looks alot more red lol. you dont like B.albopilosum?

 

[Natemass]

ya i wish i could get a FLA b.vagans i contacted someone about it but couldnt get one, and no i dont really like most of the brachys they kind of seem like girl ts to me idk im kind of a big,fast,agressive t person my self, i do have some smaller/slower more docile ts but hey what can you do?

 

[cheetah13mo]

Nice P.met dude. The days are numbered before I dive in and get one. Nice pics.

 

[Arachnophilist]

yeah well seeing as its probably isnt a big trip for you to get it you should probably just go ahead and do it

 

[Arachnophilist]

B.smithi molted.. sexed it as a male

 

[Doezsha]

awsome pics bro, I cant waite to get me a P.metallica or two

 

[Arachnophilist]

[Arachnophilist]

some more photos.. first some nicer shots of the B.smithi male

and the pic sucks but my B.emelia molted (it's being shy)

and now some shots of the new P.murinus project..

first the enclosure

I am gonna let her settle in before introducing him.
here she is...

this is the new boy. "Captain Happy" He escaped and terrorized the pet store employees

this is her exploring the new cage a bit.

and that is all for now. I will keep this updated and post the project in another thread perhaps as well..

Tegenaria "Thats a chile rose isnt it? Not boring at all."

Right Novak. The reference to boreing brown is it's common name (hatian brown) P. cancerides.

Oh right well you learn something new everyday!

 

[Lorgakor]

Great pics Christopher! Very nice set up for your P. murinus. Good luck, hope you get lots of little orange demons!

I can't believe how much bigger your B. emilia is than mine! Mine is still tiny! You must feed yours steroids! Your B. smithi is a beauty, really makes me miss mine. Is yours much of a hair flicker?
