Stromatopelma calceatum pairing video

[Haksilence]

First pairing of these guys.
The male made me sweat a little when he decided to run up my tongs onto my shoulder when i was first moving him, but once he was in place he didn't waste any time. I see one good insertion, what do you guys think?

No kidding. I have dozens of pokies but these guys are the only ones in my collection that I'm actually afraid of. When the male ran up my arm I thought my heart was gonna explode

Great job and excellent perspective with your camera work!

Why does one gender have an all black underside and the other an all green?

Awesome. Good luck man.

Because almost all mature males are fading in their colors when mature. Most get really ugly, i can only think of one species that really is stunning when mature.
That is the Pamps

Stromatopelma calceatum is sexually dimorphic. Males usually have a drabby olive color, while females retain their darker coloration

Now thats one sp. that I wouldn't be pairing without an extra set of hands.

Great video though. I hope it all goes well

Those poor MM. They have a Herculean job to do under life-threatening conditions, they have ridiculously short life-spans compared to their female counterparts, and they lose their looks in the end. At the very least, someone needs to establish a national MM appreciation day.

 

[Haksilence]

I deem 9/9 national MM appreciation day. So I have said so it shall be

Having a S. calceatum bolt up a person's arm is probably the most nerve wracking tarantula related thing I can imagine happening. Kudos for keeping calm.

Quite true, and the Pamphobeteus sp. platyomma aka the Brazilian Pink Bloom is one of the few examples where the MM is often much more brilliant in color than the female. Funny how only a few species turned out that way.
