Species Psalmopoeus irminia

[Taceas]

Very pretty! I hear you on the difficulty of photographing them. I just recently got a picture a year after getting mine. The only pic I had of it is the one of it out of its shipping vial.

I don't dare handle mine or even mess with it much due to its unpredictability and pure speed. I just recently re-housed it, which is why I got an opportunity to take a recent picture of it. From the week I got it till now it's been in its burrows, and rarely comes out long enough for me to take a picture.

Thankfully mine seems to be getting more bold with age, and comes out more and more, and is less skittish when a shadow descends upon its cage.

Beautiful! I really want one of these. I love how swifty refers to them as "tree panthers"...it is a pretty good description.

Nice pick, mines a little smaller in length but he/she seems to have a similar sized body! Mine wouldn't eat for the first 4 weeks or so.

How many did you get? The first 2 pics look nothing alike. They look like 2 completely different tarantulas.

She was very nasty and scared the crap out of me, but the rehousing process was quick and painless. Used the bathtub method. She stayed in the threat position for about 20 minutes then walled herself into the corkbark.

I Took some photos of my very first tarantula breeding attempt. The MM is on loan from dark_abyss0. I managed to under expose the majority of the photos but made some adjustments in photoshop and here they are.

No the black one is the female. This is one of the few species where the female looks better than the mature male.
