Lol, no way! There's no way I can afford tarantulas for both of our collections! :)

Thanks! I no longer have any communal setups. Hoping to change that soon though. :)
Thank you very much! :)
Not sure what this is a response to. But okay! :)

0.1 P. rufonigrum











Just so weird. Like it got pancaked. It kinda looks deformed. I wonder what the purpose is for this particular species to have a flat carapace?

Ok so fill me in.....where can "I" find a T. elenae, lol? Oh yeah, I'm very aware of their scarcity and I am extremely jealous of you right now!!! :greedy:
Honestly, I'm not sure. I haven't kept that particular species for quite some time.

To fit in between the leaves of bromeliad plants.

Its an adaptation to hide in the Bromeliad plants in the wild.
Correct! :)

Beautiful panama you have there....I can't wait for my two!!! :). Aren't these dwarf species? From the pics it looks like your male is mature- if you don't mind my asking, what is his leg span? Do you know how big females get before maturing?

This male is around 3.5-4" and yes he's mature. I would guess around the same size for females. :)

1.0 A. hirschii

Awesome! So not too small....I was thinking they were gonna be around the size of H. triseriatus or H. sp. Klein....(matured)

So many great pictures of some very underrated and seldomly seen species. I so appreciate them!
