Luke's picture thread

[luke hughes]

Hi everybody,
I am new here and thought what better way to start my first thread then posting pics of my tarantulas. I have just started breeding tarantulas and so far i have breed Thrixopelma pruriens and brachypelma vagans and have just got some mature males for loan for my mature females. Tomorrow i will have my Avicularia versicolor's mature pair coming which i will try to breed too i will get pics up of them tomorrow.

Here is a pic of my Pterinochilus lugardi adult female in a bad mood (She has just recently molted and i have a MM coming to try and breed with here with)


She got sooooo mad she fell onto here back (not molting)

And here is a pic of here next to here molt

This boy is a pro!!!!!!!
Yesterday i had a mature male RCF rosie come from george letts for loan i put him in a big tank with a divider in the middle i put him in one half and my adult NCF female in the other half. Today i noticed him trying to get in the females half and she was trying to get into his half so i lifted the divider and straight away he got here hooked and made severly insertions he then put her down then they both froze for about 15 seconds.
The male then touched her front leg and then scooted i tried puting him back in to see if he wanted eny more but as soon as he touched the substrate he climed back out.

Here is a pic of him with her hooked and inserting his palps.

You're mating a RCF with a NCF...??

[luke hughes]

these are the same species, just a different colour form, i thought this was ok? I have seen other people doing this on other tarantula boards.
