[borut21]

Are there any of these in EU?

 

[Austin S.]

Does anyone know where you can purchase these in the US? I checked out Swift's site, couldnt find it... maybe I'm overlooking. But I'd love to have one or two in my collection!

I agree, they're behavior is similar to Meagphobema species. They stiffen up and stand up in a similar way. I use to have a Sericopelma rubronitens. Heres some old pics..

Sericoplema sp. "rubronitens"

Wow Tom...how big are they now? Chuck's Sericopelma is quickly becoming one of my favorites. The melanotarsum is stunning, love the sexual dimorphism.

Thanks Fritz.

I'll try posting some shots of my S. sp. "rubronitens", once she molts. Unfortunately, I don't have any other Sericopelma spp. at the moment.

Cheers,
