Hi Steven,

Those photos are absolutely stunning! I'm really impressed. How big are they, i can't get a sense of scale in the pictures? What type of setup are you keeping them in?

Cheers,

 

[Steven]

thanx Dan,..

they are quite small spiders,... at about 6cm legspan and a 25mm bodylenght
I keep them in cylinders that are 15cm and 30cm High.
i find their colors make up everything for their rather small size

 

[FryLock]

6cm is not that small Steven most the t's i like are that size

 

[Lasiodora]

Amazing. Are those guys available often in Europe?
