0.1 L. nigerrimum









She measures just over 4" and has plenty of attitude. Can't wait till she molts. :)

Love the Sumatran tiger and nigerrimum. Those black beauties must be full of attitude, every sequence of pics I see of 'em, they're throwing up threat poses

Great shots! how do you keep them from running when you put them in your bark/log?

Thanks Jeff. Pretty sure they are #1 and #2 as my favorite sp. of tarantula at the moment. :)

Thanks man. They do a pretty good job of that themselves. I really don't have to do much other than just coax them out from their enclosures. Some are a little jumpy and speedy at times but I just keep moving the wood/cork around until they settle down on it. Doesn't usually take that long as tarantulas can't keep moving forever. ;)

Gracias Cody. :)

Well, up until Christmas I was shooting with a nikon coolpix p2 but now I have a canon rebel t2i. :D I haven't played around on it that much but I know for sure that I need to get some better lenses. Don't really have the money to spend on anything right now so I'll have to wait a little while on getting anything new. And no, I haven't sexed any of my olivacea. probably won't try to until I see a male molt out or until they hit the 3" mark and molt. I hate dealing with small molts for sexing. :p

Hey, thanks Archieph. I don't really have that many avicularia anymore. The only ones I still have at the moment are versicolor, purpurea, amazonica, aurantiaca, and diversipes.

Nice and fat :) Do you keep her in an arboreal set-up?

Thanks Vitaliy. It started out arboreal until I realized she liked to burrow much more. Her enclosure is filled with almost 3/4 substrate haha. :p

Thanks man. I love this sp. !!!! :)


Mated my E. murinus female yesterday. It was quite the sight to see. The male rushed down her burrow and they fought a little until he finally kicked her out. She went up to the top, turned around and went right back down her burrow. As soon as she got down to the bottom he got underneath her and got to business. I was lucky that the bottom of her burrow is visible through the side of her enclosure but I wasn't able to get any photos of the actual insertions. Did manage to get a couple photos though.

1.0 E. murinus


0.1 E. murinus


And this gal was out sunning herself this morning:

0.1 P. subfusca
