An excellent selection of spiders and some real beauties in there as well, especially the p. regalis and Ephebopus cyanognathus.

Ephebopus cyanognathus is very much on my wanted list.

Thanks for sharing!

[Steven Hindmarch]

Thank you very much

I´ve got a few more I would like to share with you though I cannot take pictures of all my T´s...some are just too small

Avicularia versicolor drinking after molt


Citharischius crawshayi.....rare site......got her in the night when she was out of her burrow


My other Ephebopus cyanognatus


Grammostola rosea drinking


Lasiodora parahybana mating....she´s gravid by the way and I´m waiting for her to build her eggsac


Poecilotheria ornata freshly molted a few days ago


Poecilotheria regalis devouring a cricket


My triplet regalis colony.......sorry for the bad quality


This is a small section of my T´s housings..I´ll get better pictures soon




over here in Germany you can get lots of E. cyanognatus. Regarding the availability of T´s over here, I am glad to have moved here .
I don´t know anything regarding sending T´s to GB....I think the risk would be too big.

Best regards Steven

How are you finding the triplet colony of p. regalis are getting along. I also have a triplet colony of s'ling/juvie p. regalis, they're at about 5cm now, well the biggest one is, the other two are about 4cm.

I haven't seen any aggression between them at all so far. Hoping they will stay together.

Have you had a regalis colony before? (I ask because I'm trying to learn as much as possible to help manage my own communal group). Please share your experiences

[Steven Hindmarch]

Hi,

my colony is getting along quite well. They seem to be very social because they share a small gap during the night. As soon as the lights go on in the morning, they come out and sit together as seen in the photo.
When being fed they each catch a cricket and devour it within 5cm proximity.
During normal non feeding periods they all sit together within reach touching each other with at least one leg.
All in all I have not seen any type of aggression between them.

Regards Steven

Your G.rosea looks stunning...! like the idea of keeping the molts...a life timeline of your T's...cool...!

[Steven Hindmarch]

Hi guys and gals ^^

Thank you very much for your kind comments. As promised a couple of new (and old) pictures.

B. emilia......now how cute does that look


B.emilia...had her out when I had planted a new plant.


Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens exploring


Avicularia metallica 2nd Inst......she got stuck in a molt when we came home with her from the breeder. She lost 2 legs but after this molt she´s just fine again.


Ephebopus cyanognatus working on her tunnel.


Grammostola pulchra posing away


My highly gravid Lasiodora parahybana....sorry for the bad quality.


And this is what she did before she sealed up her cave day before yesterday.....hope to have an eggsac soon. That stone was not small btw.


This is what it used to look like......now it´s like it´s been bombed


Poecilotheria ornata checking out a couple of new places to chill out...


P. ornata taking a wander around.....


My mature male Psalmopoeus irmina checking for chicks


The femal P. irminia after "decorating" the glass. Well........she doesn´t have to clean it......


And last but not least an older picture from my Avicularia versicolor.




Btw...I always use live plants in all my tanks. In my oppinion I get a better humidity and climate inside, plus it looks better ^^.

Best regards Steven

[Aaron Annal]

Excellent pics and some awsome T's you have.
I agree with how nice real plants look i have often thought about adding real plants what plants do you use and do they do ok in tanks?

[Steven Hindmarch]

Thanks ^^

for dry tanks I use plants which hardly need watering like succulents. For more humid and moister tanks I use a palmlike plant called Chamaedorea elegans. Most plants in gardenstores are suitable for keeping in tanks. The only thing which is important is that the plants need at least 6 hours of light every day. Thus I use flourescent tubes, the electricitycosts are minimal. For fertilization I use these fertilizersticks which last about 3 months. Neither fertilizer, if stuck in the soil between the plants, nor plants have harmed my T´s in any way and I´ve been doing it for about ten years now.

Regards Steven
