So I paired up several of my female Holothele sp. Colombia (Bumblebee) with a freshly molted male. After a couple of weeks all 3 have started to increase in size and the first one I paired off webbed herself up and hid her burrow. I decided to remove the leaves she used to block the webbing after a couple weeks of not seeing her around and discovered a Chanukah present. It's round and white and full of eggs. Oh yah, and I discovered Tarantulas are Jewish. Who knew?
Combine this with 4 freshly hatched Heterothele villosella eggsacs (with 2 on the way), a couple Holothele incei sacs laid in the last week, and a possibly gravid Pamphobeteus sp. Chicken Spider and I'm sure you can understand my seasonal excitement.
Anyway, sadly no pics, but I will take a whole bunch when the sac hatches.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
But for those of you not familiar with Holothele sp. Colombia (Bumblebee) here are a few old pics of a few juveniles. The camera tends to wash out the colours though.
