Pictures from the Hakansson collection in Lund, Sweden

[Sven-Olof Hakansson]

Hi, my name is Sven-Olof and I live in Sweden. I’m a little over 40 and have restarted my tarantula collection now that the kids are bigger and I have got a little spot in our basement to keep them in. (The spiders – not the kids)

I have bought a nice little camera to take familypictures and sometimes one or two pictures of the tarantulas. If you ask my wife it’s far to many.……..

First some Avicularia



Avicularia braunshauseni sling



Avicularia braunshauseni female



Avicularia braunshauseni female with some company



Avicularia huriana, a really old female.



Avicularia laeta



Avicularia metallica



Same Avicularia metallica with a friend over for dinner…..



Avicularia minatrix sling

Really nice pics!
I'm glad for you that you can have again a collection of T's! :P

Thank you for the nice comments. Here is a freshly moulted A purpurea male and some Psalmopoeus and Tapinauchenias


Avicularia purpurea adult male



Psalmopoeus cambridgei



Psalmopoeus irminia. This must be a really old lady. She is missing her tigerpattern on the abdomen.



Psalmopoeus pulcher



Iridopelma hirsutum Sling/juvenil



Tapinauchenius purpureus juvenil



More will follow…………

This must be a really old lady. She is missing her tigerpattern on the abdomen.

That for me is a stuning animal. I don't think that I have ever seen one that has lost its chevron markings on the abdomen like that. I have seen them quite dark but not to the extent that they have in effect gone! a really nice photo and spider thanks for posting it up.

[Sven-Olof Hakansson]

This is an old favorit. Sha has been with me for a few years now. I think she was about 6-7 mm then I got her. Grammostola Rosea



This is the spider that I’m most proud to own. Xenesthis Immansis:



Same girl with a former 50£ boyfriend.
