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! :)

They're a beautiful species, there's no doubt about that. It didn't take this female that long to get to adult size. I think only 2.5-3 years. I don't remember the exact date of purchase.

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...

Thank you! And yes, these guys have a little bit of an attitude problem. :)

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

Awesome spiders Jason! Envious! :D

Thanks, Chad! I still can't believe I have them in my possession now. I just hope I can keep them all alive and healthy.

You have such a gorgeous, exotic collection Jason!! And fantastic photos all around! :biggrin:

Now I need a couple of those C. schioedtei too, I just love them! Are those the same age balfouri slings we got from you? Man they're huge! Mine seem to be enjoying each others' company, and it's so much fun watching them interact. :)

Thanks, Michael! And yes, those are the same age. They're from last years sac and still doing really well. All 5 are healthy and grow like weeds. I even put a MM in there recently and there weren't any problems.

Congrats on that sac, too JasoN!

Wow, I love the iridescence on that diamantinensis. That's a gorgeous spider. As usual, it looks like you're having some great success with your breeding projects. Nice work!

I noticed that you list p Subfuscas as 'lowland' and 'highland'. Are you doing this per the sellers knowledge. Just trying to understand.

I do it because I like to keep them separate and yeah, it helps the buyers know what they're getting.

Thanks a bunch! That means a lot! I've been keeping tarantulas for about 5 years now. :)
