Thats awesome news, congrats on the sac. I'll have to come up with a different technique since I dont hold any of my t's. I'll get it figured out and get some nice pics up of them one of these days.

Congrats bro!

Thanks man. Got my fingers crossed hoping it's gonna be good.

I guess I'm still confused lol. Which spider are you talking about? The a. diversipes MM? The p. subfusca male?

And thanks, it's very exciting, I just hope the sac turns out good.

Thanks Bio, I don't try to hold any of my T's, sometimes it just happens. I only let it happen with either freshly molted spiders, slings or avics. Those tend not to bite so much. The idea behind what I do is to just get a big enough piece of cork or wood to shoot them on, something that you can manipulate around with your hands as they run around on it and eventually they will slow down. Good luck.


Figured I'd update on the sac while I'm at it. She finished late last night, so it only took her a full 24 hours from start to finish.

Also, while I type this, my female E. murinus is doing the exact same thing my E. cyano did, she's literally scraping her fangs against the bottom of the enclosure trying to get her chamber spotless clean. I think she might be gearing up for something as well.

Nice! I really like this species. Totally underrated and underrepresented in the hobby. Voracious eater and NONE of my Ts kill crickets like my Thrigmo. Its bite seems to stone 'em instantly

 

[Bosing]

Wow! Congrats on the Ephebopus breeding projects!!! Did I just forget to say how nice your photos came out too? :wall:

Anyway, I'll just wait for your gabonensis to grow bigger for a close-up picture!

Haha, I haven't ever paid attention to that. I'll have to watch the next time I feed them. I'm not too keen on brown spiders, but these guys are definitely awseome webbers.

Haha, thanks, Bosing. They are both due for a molt here shortly, so as soon as they do, I'll get some pics.

On the off chance jason, you wouldn't happen to be able to take pics of their spermatheca would you? I take it you have a scope you sex your sling and juvie molts with, do you have a camera that fits it?

Nope, not yet. Hopefully I'll be getting a macro lense soon. I dont sex any of my T's with a scope. All the sexing I do is done ventrally or by visually looking at a molt for spermathecae, sometimes with a magnifying glass.

I know, right? It's too bad his sister isn't here to show us how pretty she'd be at his size. Oh well. He does look sweet tho.

[crawltech]

Thanks man.

I got lucky with the blue fang. I was really surprised when I saw him doing it because usually this sp. just runs at light speed.

Nice pictures, again... Cant wait for my new schiodtei slings to grow!

Thanks, Bosing.

Thanks, Vince. This is actually the smaller of the two males I have. I'm hoping the larger one matures on this next molt so I can pair him to my female.

Great pictures! E.Cyan are on my to get list are yours pet holes?

Thank you. You should definitely get some. Most of mine are pet holes but that doesn't mean you don't see them every once and a while. That last male that was pictured is actually out a lot considering the design of his web and burrow.

H. incei "Gold" ~1"

H. gabonensis ~3/4"

This is the only surviving sling out of the 3 that I bought. Need to get some more.
