Gorgeous photos and T's Jason!

Congratulations on the breeding successes!! My broken arm has kept me away for a bit but I'm playing catch up now...

:biggrin:

Nice looking T! Did you obtain the other Pachistopelma species in your recent score too?

Thanks, David! Yes, I did, but they're still pretty small and don't have a ton of color yet. I'll post pictures of them as soon as they get a molt under their belts. I did however get some more of the same species in a different box today. :)

Wow! Nice sacs! Also, where did you get that T?!
Thanks, Jan! I got mine from some people who know some people who know some other people. :)

While I do really like the species, I'd be very careful with them. I do hope, the source imported them legally for breeding and establishing a stock in the hobby. They simply look awesome. Don't get me wrong, mate, I simply have very firm believes in that regard.

While I'd like to get into this in depth, I'd rather not because I don't want to get into an argument. All I can say is that most of what is in the hobby right now, was originally brought about in an illegal way unfortunately. While I cannot comment on where these originated, I'm sure they weren't legally imported, but they also aren't original WC's. They're obviously cb slings. My goal is to raise them up and hopefully get a chance at breeding them to establish them in the U.S. hobby. If that happens then people won't need to get any more from the wild.

:smile:

Nice animals Jason!
Thank you, David! :)

she's just gorgeous. I wound up trading my sling because it was the slowest growing spider in the history of the world.

Now I don't care so much about how long they take to grow, and I wish I hadn't done that.
Thanks! :)

It's ok - we're adult individuals and opinions do vary. Like I said, I'm simply a firm believer regarding this stuff. Let's not start into an arguement over this ;) I hope you're lucky and get a breeding pair out of them. I'd like to see them established in the hobby, I simply wished it would be by other means .

Also: AWESOME P. brachyramosa! Beautiful, stunningly beautiful speciemen. I'm assuming temperament-wise these are pretty much like Chilobrachys spp. right? Still on my wishlist...

Your strong belief makes no sense considering you keep at least 3 species of Avicularia hailing from Brazil.

Awesome spiders Jason! Envious! :D
