Amazing photos, thanks so much!
Are they agressive? And do we know the function of the 'spike' on the 'head'?

No problem, and thanks I will get you more pictures tomorrow. I don't think the use for the horn has been discovered yet. I could be wrong though. I sure don't know what it's for..

They are amongst the most agressive spiders . But you do get docile individuals.
Here's a few of mine:

Pterinochilus murinus

Heteroscoda maculata

Ceratogyrus darlingi

Pterinochilus lugardi

Cithariscus crawshayi

Hysterocrates gigas

Harpactira sp

I'll try get some decent enclosure pics soon. Not easy though, they really spin up a storm

Beautiful pictures! Amazing spiders. Love their reddish colouration!! The fact they are aggressive only adds to their appeal for me

Heteroscodra Maculata is my favorite "baboon" with Statomopelma Calceatum a very close second. Anyone have a nice shot of an adult female of the second. This thread needs that.

OK I was doing some reading and apparently it's thought that the horn aids the spider with increased food storage because it could be needed in their natural habitat, a dry scrubland area.

Pterinochilus chordatus

Pterinochilus murinus

 

[Taki F&T]

Doezsha's terrarium pic is pretty close to the terrain they actually come from. Pretty dry grasslands, and bushveld, ie. at the bases of thorntrees and bushes.

Definately not the best pic, but a nice female harpactira sp "tigrina"

Then wouldn't that be the "true" camel spider, lol
