Chilobrachys fimbriatus

[Jakob]

Ok...I'm sure someone else has done this before...but another one can't hurt. So post your pics!

Great pics..fimbriatus is an excellent species.I've got 2 about 1".I can't believe the amount of webbing these little guys put out.And then they lay in ambush in the webbing atop their burrow waiting for unsuspecting crickets to pass by which they attack with great ferocity.That and they're a great looking species also.All around nice spiders...peace..

*drool* Can't wait till mine gets some color! Right now she is a teeny sling but she makes the most amazing tunnels! What a great species. Chilobrachys is a pretty cool genus--I've got a C. huahini as well and it's got such a great body shape and does some great tunnel-webbing as well. Thanks for the great pictures!

No problem, but I know there are more of you who own these guys and have pictures of them!

PS: Good to see this thread getting revived :D

[MrDeranged]

Not very big. To be honest with you, I haven't tried measuring. Maybe about 4 inches give or take some....

WOW! Now that is a kick ass picture you took there. I really like how you took all the webbing into consideration as well, it looks great.

This species webs up everything in sight so I didn't really have to 'consider it' for the photo - it fills the entire container :)

Well what I meant is that I liked how you didn't get as close as possible when you took the picture and in turn let us see more webbing!

Here's a picture of mine's enclosure:

I have 4 sub-adult males of this species, at least 2 of which I believe are penultimate, so I hope to be breeding the girl I showed on the previous page soon. I have a slightly smaller girl as well.
