Species Psalmopoeus irminia

Very adorable!!! Congrats on the babies, Rob. I don't think 47 is bad, I think you did good!!

They are still molting and some haven't made it - had molting problems. We managed to rescue about 5...I think there's probably about 42 now.

[fenrrris]

Little dude all grows up! Amazing (to me at least) that he/she matured that much in less than a year.

 

[SCORPIONNOOB]

Dang she/he is big!! mines about 3 months old and it eats constantly! They are such nice looking T's! Nice pic!

My second T. Those bright colored objects are K-Nex, they work great for great artificial structures lol.

Some interesting views of my P.Irminia. First pic is a look into her "burrow" and then a top view of the entrance to her burrow.

HAHA...I always call mine a ninja too. Great pics.

 

[Sadistic Haplo]

Yeah, she's super elusive, she only comes out at night/early morning around 5 a.m. and even then she just struts around her tank.. I assume looking for food or anything foriegn to her and heads back. The only othertime I see her out of her "burrow" is when I feed her and even then it's just a flash of black and orange. She's definately one of my favourites.

Very cool! I can't wait for mine to grow up... but then, I guess I'll never see it! lol

 

[wayne the pain]

[crawltech]

Very interesting...hmmm....make sure you snap a pic after it molts....see if the same pattern occurs......also very nice lookin irminia!...or maybe not an irminia??

It's a hybrid?
