thank you very much.

my camera is a canon eos 300d (i think it's called digital rebel or something in the u.s.). lens was a cheap soligor 100 macro. i used a multiblitz flash unit from one side and some white paper for reflection from the other side.

Sorry, all the species lists i've seen just label down the whole genus

[edit] seriously now, is that colouration because its a fresh moult or has the internet lied to me for years on what male T. spophysis look like?

The pictures above are excellent representations of what a male T. apophysis is supposed to look like - here are a few more for comparison:

Philth: Absolutely stunning male! Thanks for sharing.

I think this is why it was called Pseudotheraphosa before. Beautiful pictures Philth!

1st pic puts it a bit bigger than she is, i havent measured but im guessing 10inch+ il have to measure when i can.

T Apophysis

T blondi approx 7-9inch. i dunno, lol

She had an insatiable habit of climbing the backwall of her enclosure, i tried humidity, and temperature changes but nothing worked. i gave her another hide and she settled down and hasn't done it once since
