Just curious, what species are you still wanting to get? Your collection is ridiculous and for arboreal OWers, you've pretty much got the who's who. P. everetti?


That T. subcersomething is a beaut!

Thanks, Jeff.

Haha, trust me, there are always others. Yes, P. everetti is on the list but also O. sp. laos, L. violaceopes, I. seladonium and A. sooretama. I'm sure there are a couple more that I'm not thinking of right now.

You're welcome and thank you. I'm hoping the mating was successful and I get a sac from her soon.

Thank you, Tioga.

Late night spider action

I mated my smaller A. purpurea female last night/this morning. Here's what went down.

I was having trouble uploading to photobucket so I had to use flickr. My apologies for not being able to embed the video and also for the poor lighting.

Awsome Smithi!...on my list for sure!

Thanks man.

What a smooth breeding. I haven't bred anything in so long I forgot how cool it is. Good luck!

Agreed. I get stoked when I'm about to pair spiders. haha

Here's one that didn't go so smoothly. Apparently he's not ready yet and he definitely let me know.

Thank you, Bosing.

I would get a close-up of the gabonensis but it's too small for the gear I have currently. I don't have a setup for macro photography yet.

Nice versi

Haha, thanks. I actually think it's a female.

BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!
Thanks to John(Zonbonzovi), I now have an adult female Avicularia diversipes in my possession. Since I had a male just sitting around over here John decided to send his female out to me on reverse breeding loan. Hopefully I can have some success with this sp. as it's one of my favorites. Here she is:

Thought I'd add a few pics of the lucky male:

You got her to sit still, LOL. Great shots, wanna send yourself express and take some more pics? I guarantee live arrival

Haha, yeah, it took a while though. You should've seen how long it took me to get shots of the male. At one point he was even on my wall lol. I don't know what you're talking about man, your pics are awesome.

0.1 M. balfouri

 

[crawltech]

Awsome pics!...its like hes hideing in the shadows, but right out in the open

 

[biomarine2000]

How do you get them to sit still? I have tons of stuff I want to photograph but they are just too fast and dont like to be still. Pokies especially.

Thanks, but I don't get the second half of your statement. :?

Trust me, it's not easy haha. Once out of their enclosures, they typically run a lot, so I put them on the wood and just move it around until they get tired of running, eventually they will stop. It's a bit of a juggling act with the faster sp. You really have to be on top of your game.

Anywho, woke up this morning to see my blue fang female in mid construction of her sac:

Congrats bro!
