Very nice,i'm not too familiar with this genus and if I didn't know what it was I'd say it was like a cross between a Brachy and a A.geniculata.

Lovely spider! This is a species I've not really looked at before, I think I've been missing out.

Well its looking for a new home
Purely from a space point of view!!

Well that's confirmed it, I have one with a LS of at least 3". He's a right little escape artist, escaping 3 times since I've had him. He spends most of his time in his burrow but he's quite impressive when he goes walkabouts. (I say he/him although I don't know what sex it is yet).

I was looking after the one I've got for one of my daughter's work colleagues, but I wasn't entirely happy with the set up the guy had him in so I got my daughter to chuck 20 quid under his nose and I kept him. He's been much happier since I moved him into his new home. He originally wanted 30 quid for him but we both thought that was too much. I told her to tell him the other tenner was for the cost of the food and such lol.

Have you sexed it Mike ?

[mike halewood]

Temperament is rather skittish, but not defensive at all. Anything knocks the tank and shes back in the hide like a shot. But apart from that is out 80% of the time, and a REALLY good eater. The only downside is she likes to dump, both the bollus *spelling* and poo in the water bowl!!!

Neil I havent sexed 'her ' yet as the molt was shredded by the time she dupmed it out of the hide.
