Have a nice weekend.

Stefan

x.immanis:drool: i need some

 

[Stefan2209]

Hi everyone,

thanks for appreciation!

That Xenesthis is a freak genus to my opinion!
Always acting defensive at the slightest disturbance but backing up as soon as they realize they can´t eat one...
Just gotta love them... :drool:

The price situation in regard of this genus seems indeed to be a bit "strange", at least around here: sometimes one will be offered already medium sized specimens for quite decent prices, on other occassions it´s just hard to find any young slings at all.
When one finally manages to find something that´s still quite "fresh" in regard of early instar age, one has to put out more cash than for bigger specimens...

Anyway - as these are extremely hardy spiders i´m not too much worried because of the cash spent, can´t go too far off with these...

The said-to-be T. ockerti is strange, too, and literally the exact opposite of the Xenesthis: totally calm and docile, strangewise this particular specimen even isn´t caring too much about direct contact with humans, as i have it running up my hands quite frequently during maintenance work.
Apparently very fast growers, too, going through three instars in just three months.

Greetings,

Stefan

hey its not sunday is it?haha ;]
nice p.cam you got there!great species

 

[GoTerps]

Hi Stefan,

Do you know who decided to use the name "A. velutina" for the spider you have?

Thanks,

Eric

 

[Stefan2209]

Hi Eric,

nope - donno.

I´m not too engaged with Avicularia, but some close friends of mine are. This is the very reason for my evergrowing stock of Avicularia

The reason, too, why i rarely ask twice about the origins of the parental generations, my friends are much more interested in such details than i could claim to be.

Anyway, i´ll just check back with my buddies - maybe they know the answer to your question.

Will get back to this.

Regards,

Stefan
