Great looking H. gabonensis! Btw, I found some info that states villosella are terrestrail while gabonensis are arboreal? Aside from the fact that my villosella is usually EVERYWHERE but the ground in her enclosure, I wonder why there's that difference between them? So far, I though they can be found pretty close to each others habitat.

Thanks! :) I've heard the rumors as well. I haven't really witnessed them being anything of the sort, but I also haven't set them up in a really tall enclosure either. They do web all over the place, but I've never seen anything from them that would indicate that they are arboreal...so far.

0.1 L. nigerrimum

Beautiful nigerrimum! Velvety black all over...looks stunning! ;)

As for the "arboreal" thing - as I said at least my H. villosella is usually up in the higher regions of the tank and extremely seldomly on the ground or the lower third of the enclosure. A friend of mine got a gabonesis lately and obviously that one seems to like the upper regions better as well. Oh well, we all know certain species behave different in captivity than in their natural habitat.

Wow! Awesome pictures and beautiful Ts. The L. nigerrimum is absolutely gorgeous. I only have one Lampropelma, L. violaceopes, but I definitely think I need to get one or two more...

Thanks Jan! I'll have to set some of my gabonensis up in a tall enclosure and see what happens. :)

Thank you! You most definitely need to get more! :)

I absolutely love the H. gabonensis. They're tough to find!
Me too! They're one of my favorite species for sure. Hopefully one of my juvies will mature soon and I'll be able to pair my adult female again. The MM I have right now is kind of on his last leg so I don't think he did anything when they cohabitated. :/

I bought them back in July. :)
