This is the female P. subfusca that is the mother of the sac I just hatched. The 1st instars began molting to 2nd instar last night. I will post photos of the offspring when I can (egg/postembryo photos were posted earlier [above]). As you can see, this same image is the source of my current avatar.

Cheers, Michael

Wow!! Very pretty. Hope to find one or many soon.

 

[Michael Jacobi]

Unfortunately, I didn't get any mating photos. The first image shows the male in the female's terrarium several days after introduction (sorry, slightly out of focus). The second photo shows the female's subterranean nest and the eggsac. For more photos you'll have to wait for ARACHNOCULTURE 2(2)

Cheers, Michael

How lg is the female?

How lg is the female?

I've never measured her. I would estimate her diagonal legspan to be about 6.5 in [16.5 cm]. - MJ

Wow that is a great picture Michael. Its amazing how beautiful the Pokies are, even besides the often drooled over Metallica, every single other kind is absolutely breathtaking. Im thinking the goal of my collection will be 1 female of every pokie species...........:drool:

EDIT: The only pokie I do have actually is a P. Metallica, (photo below) but its only a sling. Once these grow (or any pokie) do you find they are hidden more often or tend to stay visible more?

Heres my P. Metallica (my only pokie, something I hope to remedy in the near future)

Great pics....keep'em coming. My female P. regalis just laid a sac and ate it the next day, so I will not be contibuting any interesting photos like I had hoped.

Miranda baby

pokies are my favourite, so now i'm missing only the most expensive ones (metallica, smithi, sp. tigris) and the notpurchaseable (seems like i've found new word) one - hanumavilasumica. and well, talking about uniformis is kinda meaningless

 

[xgrafcorex]

it got scaled down way too much..but heres a recent pic i took of my ornata taking a drink. i wasnt using a tripod or flash, so the pic isn't focused perfectly..but its a little harder to tell since its so small. http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c345/xgrafcorex/?action=view&current=IMG_2336.jpg

 

[drunkinmaster]

Hey Mr. Jacobi, was wondering if they all molted out alright?(Cause Im interested in some!!!;P )

 

[Michael Jacobi]

Yes, they have. And please call me Michael.
