Jason, Woohoo, the little tikes are growin !

The nigerrimum is interesting. What's the general attitude of Lampropelma? C schioedtei has been on my "for down the road" want list for some time after seeing a pic someone posted of a mf crawling over the top edge of an aquarium. That was one cool-looking t.

My boy is about 3". Perhaps there may be a date in their future

Possibly so! She's such a slow grower though lol.

Lampropelma is a crazy genus lol. Not sure what you're going to get from day to day with these guys. Sometimes I get threat postures, sometimes they just run and hide. They are definitely not a sp. to mess around with. This female was allright to shoot but usually she's got her fangs out ready to greet me. I think she cooperated only because she had eaten a few crickets prior to the photoshoot. She was pretty relaxed. I don't think I've ever gotten a threat posture from my sp. "borneo black" but then again it's always in it's burrow. I hardly ever see the thing lol. When I used to own some violaceopes they would give me threat postures occasionaly as well. Cyriopagopus is just as cool of a genus and I highly recommend you get some.

Thanks Scorp. It's easily one of my favorites. Hopefully one of my smaller slings turns out to be male! One of them just molted and is looking rather light colored...crossing my fingers.

Choose the sword, and you will join me
Choose the ball, and you join your mother in death
You don't understand my words, but you must choose

It's a female ;]

 

[jbm150]

Nice! Only reason I asked, that last shot looks a little thinner and brighter than the others. Some pics I saw a while back had the male having brighter colors than the female of the same size. Coulda just been those individuals.

I can't believe I have one of these

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

The borneo black looks a little different in the last photo because it was on the wet side of the wood. I usually wet one side so that the tarantula can choose which side it wants to be on when I take pictures. The water gives it a different look. Same thing goes for my most recent a. diversipes pictures.
