Today in the Spider Room?

[Shinn]

@Shinn I've never seen this before. Do you know if there was any reason for him to remove it?

Believe the spurs might have been damaged when I first received him some 2 months back. He had removed the first pedipalp around the third day I unboxed and rehoused him which was also showing obvious signs of damage when I coaxed it out of the box. This second one looked normal at the time but it might have been damaged too as I can't see the spur clearly now that he has amputated it. I suspected that could have been the reason why the owner decided to sell him in a mystery box deal for around 14usd.

Pulled a discarded phantom eggsack from a 0.1 P. sp Akcaya's waterdish. I had absolutely NO idea she was holding it.

 

[KenNet]

Hope you find a male for her. It's absolutely needed in the hobby.

Lol I have three mature females, one of which already produced a viable sack. I'd definently like to find another male at some point, but I have too many irons in the fire right now honestly.

 

[KenNet]

Great! Here Akcaya's are not common for sale and thus very expensive. Good you have enough females to make it work.

This thread just made me realize that I don't have any Phormingochilus at all. So I just ordered a female P. sp. Rufus together with some other spiders. Will be a beautiful addition to my other spiders! Very happy that I found a female!

Tiny roach nymphs for tiny spiderlings.

13 of them. Should I call this the Last Supper?

Slrrrrrp!

Somebody partied too hard last night

Got the worst hairing (that’s a word now) of my life courtesy of my B. boehmei during a rehouse today. Now, I’m no newb when it comes to hairs, I take precautions, such as gloves, sleeves, a mask etc.. but this little devil managed to get them all on to my neck. Now I don’t know whether to shave my beard or just pluck every last fiber sticking out of my skin. Good grief.

Last December my Hmac lost a limb during a molt. Today I was lucky enough to find her outside and she even allowed me to take some shots.

Took her 2 molts (in 7 months) to regenerate the limb properly. Still not as thicc as the intact one, but the improvement is quite visible.

Pics taken: 2021.12.25. / 2022.03.17. / 2022.07.14.

Lycosa tarantula is batman! I knew it!!!

First glimpse of my pet hole, Ornithoctonus Sp. Uthai Thani after it's recent molt. Looking gorgeous and the photo just doesn't do it justice. Unfortunately it scurried back underground before I can get a better pic.

Today I realized my newly set up 16oz deli cups with cross ventilation had way to much moisture in the substrate than I thought. Water droplets have ben forming on the walls so I took some extra lids, cut the center out and hot glued screen mesh over the top. It seems to have had some help so far in the last 8 hours. Crisis adverted and now I have some mesh lids for the future if it happens again!

Checked on my H. Colombia 1 1/4" sling to have him pull the typical kick hair and bolt. Lucky for me I came prepared.

It´s such a pleasure to have time for the hobby. Today was one of those days!

This young Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus girl was in her hide for several month... Now freshly molted and hungry!


This adult Chromatopelma also molted last week...


He/she/it (Y. diversipes) molted today...


1st: This stirmi 0.1 was borrowed over 6 month, She molted, but the old caraspace is left. She seems to be alright and is eating for three!
2nd: Also a blondi juvenile female opened her hide today. She also was hidden for some weeks.


1st: Rarely that one of my balfouris can be seen during the day!
2nd: Avicularia minatrix, molted several days ago. What a beauty!


1st: Dolomedes triton hiding under water.

One of my adult female Dolichothele diamantinensis open up her "burrow" after a molt. Took awhile. I even started to miss her.

 

[KenNet]

One of my Lampropelma nigerrium slings molted. She will need a bigger enclosure quite soon

Today I.. walked in on my boy Aurellion becoming a man.


I have to admit, his webbing is very pretty though.
