  • Showing off the new bunch

    I got a total of 11 new additions at the show yesterday. Managed to get pics of most of them today so here they are.

    Starting with the smallest...

    H. maculata sling from Mary. This is the best pic I could get as it's way too fast for me, lol.



    Next biggest was a P. irminia also from Mary, but no pics of that, because it has hidden itself away. Trust me when I say it's sickeningly cute.

    A. geniculata, the result of "Hmm, I've got £10 left, would be a shame to go home from here without an empty wallet."




    5x 2.5cm P. regalis. My first attempt at a communal setup. Soooo happy about it




    3cm Bonnetina rudloffi. My housemate bought me this as a mystery gift (so I've named it Myst) and I totally sucked at working it out so he had to tell me in the end, lol. Really sweet, I have never seen this genus before so I am really chuffed with it.






    7cm G. pulchra, I named her Doodle because she is a smaller version of my other pulchra who's called Sketch. I had to get her as she was only £15 and I hardly ever see pulchra available. And having had a good look ventrally I am positive it's a girl so I'm really pleased about that! (I know vent sexing generally isn't 100% but she is really clear and I'm practised with Grammys so on this occasion it's at least 99%)






    And finally, 11cm G. aureostriata female, called Brian. I finally got my male a girlfriend! She is so sweet and absolutely gorgeous, I am so happy to have a female of this species.






    Yay for the BTS show, hehe.

        Thanks. I really like the last one too, I love how she is peeking out from between her knees, it makes her look all shy, haha. I've saved a really high-res version of that one and I think I'm going to get it printed off.

          Will do. Do you have any idea how quick these guys grow? I'm guessing it's slow, about Brachy speed?

              I have one of those chacos, theyre brilliant spiders. So good looking and look amazing post molt. Get scary big but seem quite tame to me, although the fangs are gigantic.

                Not quite as bad but not super fast! They are a small species though!
