Xenesthis Sp White

[Singapore_Blue1]

Well my 7" male is getting ready to molt. He turned black late yesterday. I am guessing that this should be his final molt. So that means my breeding project will begin soon. My 9" Female molted back in December so the timing shouldn't be too bad. I have her set up in a very large container probably 20 gallons at least.

Oh I will be taking photos for sure..I have too To my knowledge they have not been produced in the US. Not to mention they are rarely available to begin with even if they are imported. This should be lots of fun and I can't wait to see how stunning the male is when he matures.

Good luck, great species. And yes, provide pictures! Pamphobeteus and Xenesthis males are some of the best looking teraphosids ever.

I totally agree with that statement. I happen to be blessed with both...My P. ultramarinus male will mature right behind the Xenesthis sp. White male. I am so excited it is hard to contain myself.

Just curious, do you have any younger P. ultramarinus males? I have a female and a friend of mine has a bigger male, and I feel she's not going to make it to breeding size before he turns ultimate. It's so hard to come across this species in the US that I think we (all ultramarinus owners) should work together on breeding these.

Maybe you could try power feeding the female? Just a thought.

you must post pics! i cant even find a pic of an adult sp. white anywhere. Must be great to own such a rare specimen wish you all the best and hopefully you will have some available for sale in the coming months haha. :drool:

Power feeding can only go so far. He looks to be 2-3 molts ahead.

Well I genuinely hope your being sarcastic because I don't take kindly to being told I am full of <edit>. I have both P. ultramarinus and Xenesthis sp white pairs. I guess I will have to upload some new pictures later this evening. I will not take pictures of the Male Xenesthis sp white till he molts. My female is breath taking though...:}

I agree with you. I don't have a smaller male unfortunetly. How big is your female? She doesn't have to be 5" to breed her you know. It is necessary that we get these well established in the US. My P. ultramarinus is my favorite T and both of mine are extremely gentle. In my personal opinion it is not only the prettiest of the Pamphobeteus but the gentlest as well.

My female is between 3.5-4" and has her adult colors. She's quite a bit smaller not only in legspan but also in bulk compared to my friend's male, who is roughly 4.5". I share the same opinion of P. ultramarinus. This was my "holy grail" T for a while and I think she was worth every penny.

Beautiful Xenesthis sp. White female you have there. Did you get her from Todd Gearheart? I remember him having a good sized female for sale two years ago.

Thank you...No I actually got her and the P. ultramarinus from a friend of mine, Gabe Motuz. He recently got out of the trade a little while back. Got both females first then got the male P. ultramarinus from Joe Rossi. The Xenesthis sp white male I happened to run across someone on the boards selling it so I jumped on it. At 4" legspan I would still try to breed her. I will send you my male when I am finished with him if your interested. We may as well take as many shots at getting a sac as possible.

I wasn't aware that Joe loaned you the male. That's who I was talking about.

Not loaned...Bought outright actually. I talked Joe into selling him to me. So my male will mature out in a month or two..Do you want me to look you up when I am done with him then?

It's alright, my female definitely won't be big enough by then. You've got the best shot at this, so good luck with your breeding!
