Great pics of the mystery Psalmo, what's the story on her? Did you raise her into her looks or is she a new acquisition?

"She's 6"+ and full of anger lol. " lol She is a bit on the green side eh.
Yep. :D

It's nice to see new pics of her! You can see her grumbling to herself in the second pic. LOL
Haha, yeah, her chelicerae were moving non stop the whole shoot!

That is an odd looking Psalmopoeus. Still beautiful though! Congrats on the pairings.
Yes she is and thank you!

That's one gorgeous mystery Psalmo. :)
Agreed!

Thanks, Jeff. She's been with me for a while now. She was my second tarantula and has dropped a couple dud sacs for me over the past couple of years. I bought her as a cambridgei ,but she looks nothing like all the other adult cambridgei's I've seen. It's just a guess but I'm thinking that she is a cambridgei/irminia hybrid.

Weird, but gorgeous. :)

Jason,

Thank you for the many communal shots. I really like the looks of that tank full of gold!!

The mystery Psalmo is beautiful. Have you bred her to male cambridgei exclusively or have you tried a male irminia with her too?

^grow, Grow, GROW! And proliferate :D
Lol! Agreed, Jeff. :D

Proliferation, plus distribution to the masses equals happy times for all.
Again I agree. :)

No problem Dave. The mystery Psalmo was my 2nd tarantula and has dropped two or thee dud eggsacs for me over the past couple years. She was sold as a P. cambridgei, but her coloring told me otherwise so she was never paired, nor do I ever intend to pair her. :)

Nice shots Jason! :)
Thanks, Chris! :D

Dude, I looked everywhere in like a 200ft proximity of this guy for more of them and I couldn't find any. I saw a bunch of other spiders but no tarantulas.

Oh WOW Jason!! :D Those photos from Peru are incredible!!!
(jealous! :p hehe)
Thanks bud! They aren't that great of photos though. I couldn't get a clear shot at this guy, he darted up the tree before I had time to take any more photos of him.

Monocentropus balfouri!

Thanks, Chris! :) I'm going to let them stay in there for a little while longer, but I've already seen a few 3rd instars amongst the 2nd instars so it shouldn't be too much longer until I count and seperate them. I'm not in any hurry to take them out though, she's doing a great job! :D

Awesome! congrats on the M. balfouri
Thanks bud! :)

I poured some water onto her web earlier and she came out to inspect what was going on and ended up taking a drink:

:D
