Avicularia sacs are nothing compared to some sp., I've heard some T's can have upwards of 1000 slings in a sac!

DAYUM.. 1000+??? :? I can see a sling-infested tank in me head now.

That's why I pulled the sac early. I can contain and care for them pretty easy in an incubator setup. Much easier to pull 1 sac than 150+ 2nd instars w/ mom guarding them.

It's still very tiny but I think it's a female. Probably still around an 1".

Looks like one so far!May be a little to small to tell tho?Unsure.
gotta love species you can sex by color hehe!
Its like night and day:

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

If your referring to the pictures syndicate posted, they are lampropelma nigerrimum. They are a sexually dimorphic species so it's easy to tell males from females at a very small size. I believe the ones pictured are under 3" and the sling I have is about 1" and so far it's looking like a female but I'm not sure they can be sexed at such a small size.

Anyways, a recently molted p. rufilata female.

She was fun to shoot.

Wow.. mad colors that Rufi got. Get it to hide on a live mossy bark, I guess its gonna be hard to spot.

0.1 p. ornata -gravid-mated back in july of 09.

Upon excavating her sac laying area she found a large b. dubia that had been buried for who knows how long. She keeps getting fatter and fatter and fatter. lol

1.0 a. versicolor MM-doing his thing.

Sorry for the quality.

Gorgeous rufilata! I really do need to find me one of them..

 

[J.huff23]

Dang that ornata looks like shes going to pop! I also love your H.incei "gold". Very neat little T!

 

[Ariel]

Great shots. and I have to agree, that H. incei 'gold' is definately a neat lookin' T.

Thankyou. They are definitely a great looking sp. Hopefully I'll be able to mate my 3 females soon and I can send one your way.

I know, right? She's huge. And only getting bigger by the minute. She keeps finding random food. Yesterday it was a dubia and today it was a cricket that was hiding under a leaf lol. The craziest thing about this female is that she was bred back in july!!!! She's currently excavating big time behind her cork bark. I'm thinking if she does lay a sac it's going to be soon.

I also love your H.incei "gold". Very neat little T!

Great shots. and I have to agree, that H. incei 'gold' is definately a neat lookin' T.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to get some more so I can put together a little breeding group.
