[deifiler]

Hi all...

A collection of this fine spider would be pretty nifty... Also any pictures that give a scale reference would be most appreciated.

I've posted one of mine with a scale reference. That mystical gold orb is one English Pound coin, joyous.

Let me know if I'm out of line with the picture posting.... :}

[deifiler]

Second scale picture. It's in the tank as it got out the tank whilst I was photoin and cheekily scaled the window and onto the roof... haha

[deifiler]

Right... Time for some proper pictures :)

[deifiler]

[deifiler]

Right yet again I've gone overkill with the pic uploading, so this is my last... for now!

Bright lighting = sparkly Cyaneo

[BileDrunk]

Don't worry, they're excellent pics. :)
Thanks for sharing. I have a sub-adult male that I get pics of as aften as I can.

[L_mactans]

Alsolutely beautiful! I can't wait until my sling starts to get these adult colorations.

[rosehaired1979]

Mine is 2.25 " and is hopefully due for a molt soon so I can't wait till it gets all it aduly colors and hopefully on the next molt I will be able to sex it.

[Immortal_sin]

I'm not appreciating her much right now, but here she is....the maneating B$%^# !

[LPacker79]

Mine's no where near as pretty as the one's posted already, but he/she will get there eventually!

I was going to get my GBB out for a photoshoot, but he's extremely premoult at the moment and doesn't wish to see guests.

So here's my fave pic of him. Such a good natured little chap :p

[GreenBottle 1]

yup, I do love my GBB......had it since it was 1/4 of an inch, I have kept every molt since the first...its about 2.5 inches now with just about full adult coloration...I'll try to get some pics......:}

[cricket54]

Thanks for posting the pictures. They look so good.
I ordered a GBB sling and I was wondering how
you guys take care of yours? Does it need to be
kept moist? Nervous about this because I haven't
had such a tiny tarantula before as this one will be.
Sharon

[Aviculariinae]

No mate keep it dry like brachypelma sp and just keep a full water dish as sling just a slight mist on the glass for it to drink,they are kind nerves and abit skittish but nothing to worry about!

[stu]

Nice pics everyone - the colours on these things are some of the best ive seen.

This is going to have to be the next T I get, though ive only seen them for sale once in the Uk and I forget where that was.

Hopefully there will be a few crawling aroung the BTS show :)

cheers,

Stu.

Here are my two C. cyaneopubescens :)
Both of them came from the same sac, both of them are after the same number of molts, both of them were fed by me in the same time... Look at the difference...

Anyway I love both of them the same way... :D

Terri, yes, this can be possible. I'll check it after the next molt... :)

But if this is the truth, I wish they came from different sacs... :p

Here's a little tyke. Sat patiently for the photo too, although if you look closely you can see him gritting his teeth and calling me names.

Cool pics!

[Beth-Tex]

Beautiful indeed!!!:D

I also love them.........mine is a subadult & actually comes to the
side of the enclosure where I always drop in the food.:D

[pategirl]

They do love the food! My little one is growing up, still has the stripes on the abdomen, but also getting the blue and red. I think it may be a male, hopefully not, though. Here's his picture:

[G_Wright]

Nice I'm getting another shipment of them a load of slings and an adult female which will be uip for sale if you live in the UK

First meal after a molt;

http://www.pbase.com/image/26818848/original.jpg

I wonder what evolution was thinking when it was decided that this colour scheme was a good idea ;)

-- Jon

[heering80]

Hey!
Look at my Beauty!
When do you think its gonna molt? Last molt was maybe 3 weeks ago...

Any idea about the sex?

[Washout]

I would guess male, but I'm new at this sexing stuff.

[Spaceman_Spiff]

I think she's female

The time till she'll have her next molt depends strongly on how much you feed and the temperature she is kept.

judging from the size of her behind she' feeding well {D

My GBB grew quite quickly out of her juvenile colours, so my guess would be another 2 month till the next molt

[Brian S]

My GBB sling molts about every 6 weeks or so.
It would be difficult to sex one that small. Wait till it is about 3 inches and you can sex it with a molt

[SeanJo]

I'd guess that was a male. Mine is the exact same size and looks similar as well, but I think it's a female. Maybe later in their lives we can mate em up :D

[Lochala]

How big is she?

[heering80]

How big is she?


It's about 1,5" if streched very hard :)

[Brian S]

It's about 1,5" if streched very hard :)
Next molt it will have the blue legs :)

[Lochala]

Well, I can tell you she is a beaut.

[WYSIWYG]

From what I understand, even a female at that size would
appear to be male. It's really too early to tell.

Nice fat little sling though. He/she appears to be very
well cared for. Congratz. :)

Hey!
Look at my Beauty!
When do you think its gonna molt? Last molt was maybe 3 weeks ago...

Any idea about the sex?

[Wade]

Normally, this girl lives in my office, but due to a natural disaster there she had to be moved. My basement bugroom tends to have very high humidity much of the time, and since GBB's have a reputation for doing poorly in such a setting, I elected to send her to live at my sister's (Linsey Pyne) house until the office gets repaired. She (my sister) was able to snap off this very impressive picture when she (the spider) molted this past weekened.

Wade

[Vanan]

Nice shot! Looks like she's doing the foxtrot with her exuvia. {D

[darkeye]

Somehow, I didn't see a thread for these beauties, so I'll start one.
And here's a pic of one of my gems...

[xanadu1015]

This is one of my favorite T's.



Laura

[KingBollock]

I absolutely adore these T's. I don't have one as yet but I intend to change that. Does anyone have any idea what sort of price I'd be looking at to buy one in the UK? I'm going to get one regardless of the price, it'd just be nice to know if I have to save up or not.

Nice one. I've got a bit larger beast, but all of them all lovely.
Do you feed her just after the moulting?
I see small cricket (or very large Collembola) on the wall :D

[DAAMOOK]

Do you feed her just after the moulting?
I see small cricket (or very large Collembola) on the wall :D

I waited for about 4 days after moult for feeding.

You can see the new hached cricket on the wall of box. The cricket hached the same day and was 2 mm long.

The t ate 10 crictets then.

[Dark Raptor]

ok. I was just curious, because you've wrote that pictures were taken just day after moulting.

[Crunchie]

Finally I can post on this thread Wonderful little creatures they are, already had his first cricket and has been dubbed "Lightning" due to being the pocket rocket of my t's lol ;)

Stunning pics folks.

[blckwidow75]

This is Ginger. She molted a couple of weeks ago and still isn't showing an interest in food.

[mimic58]

Il post pics as soon as it finishes this molt :) im preying its a girl i keep getting rinced with males :wall:

[blckwidow75]

Actually you know what? Ginger is a MALE, but I name all my T's when I get them as spiderlings and by the time I find out what gender they are they already have an "identity" to me! You'd sex these just like any other T - look for a flap and if you don't see one you probably have another male :( Right now 10 of mine are sexed and I have 5 known females and 5 known males. I guess that's fair...

[mimic58]

Where is it located on the underside of the abdomen?? or elsewhere?

[blckwidow75]

Where is it located on the underside of the abdomen?? or elsewhere?

Best bet is to wait for a molt - it will be on the inside of the abdomen. There are many sexing threads on the boards. Do a search and you'll see many great close-up shots of what to look for. If you have the Tarantula Keeper's Guide, see page 51. If you don't, it's a must have!

[Brando]

How much do these guys cost in the US and where can you buy them? I love the colors on the mature adults and the vast difference in appearance from the younger ones. Awesome pictures you guys are lucky!

[hamfoto]

I got a beautiful 1" spiderling for $35.

[shogun804]

the evolution continues...molt 3/4/05=2.75-3" {D (female) if you notice this is part of my continuing thread for this specie im posting pics of all the color stages, enjoy. molted again on 5-5-05 about 3.75"

How much do these guys cost in the US and where can you buy them? I love the colors on the mature adults and the vast difference in appearance from the younger ones.

Here are some recent pictures of mating Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. I bred both my females last year and had both of them lay eggsacs. One eggsac got eaten, the other I got 100+ slings from.

I'm breeding them both again now. This is the girl who ate her sac last year... I won't give her that chance again! He appeared to get a nice solid insert. She went for the kill after mating (of course!) and managed to tear off one of his front legs. But he seems to be doing fine and took a meal last night. He'll be going in with my other girl in the next few days.

nice pics :clap: i am breeding this specie as well, last night was the first successfull pairing, male made an excellent insertion with both palps one than the other, i was able to see the females furrow (not sure if that correct term) was split wide open with ther constantly walking around with her abdomen raised high in the air, then she was using her back legs to rub the furrow area this went on for about an hour after the insertion then she settled down. good luck

[SilentMercury]

My male just unveiled his bulbs after a molt the other day. Damn. I am getting the worst of luck. I've had 5 other specimens of different species sexed as definite males this month. Double Damn. Anyway, enjoy the pic.

can you tell me the size of the exoskeleton....and her new size....she/he seems that had grown big..

Aaron

[ScorpDemon]

my guess would be that its around 1.5", i may be way off, but thats the size of both of mine.. 1.5-1.75" one of them should be molting sometime within the next couple weeks, the other one i just got, so im not sure.. but ill try to get before and after pics, and if im lucky, maybe some during pics

[Greg Wolfe]

Demon has it pretty close. :razz:

Nice looking spider, definitely my favorite color stage for these guys. Starting to get some real irridescence to the legs but holding that bumblebee pattern.

This is Bob (or maybe Bobbie, I'm not sure) about to have lunch. :}

[brigebane]

Always a looker and though it was one of the first Tarantulas I aquired I always come back to oggle some more pictures of C. cyaneopubescens. Not much in the animal kingdom looks as stunning as these. Also, not to be artsy fartsy or anything but Complimentary colors are always attention getters.

Today is moving day with my GBB. S/he has outgrown the little hide and the little kritter keeper as well. I had just misted so the web is a little damp. Notice the leg in the lower left corner of the web in the first picture, and the leg just inside the pot in the second picture. This T is an incredible hunter/ eater and one of my favorites.

Very nice pictures all. I would like to get a GBB sometime in the near future.

I think I'm the only one who appreciates this molting picture. I've been told that no one can make out what they're looking at. It's my GBB molting in a cool web hammack!

maybe with a microscope, but you'd have to be looking at the interior of the exuvium...you wouldn't be able to tell from the outside until it was about 3" at least. even then, theres a chance you could be wrong.

Hey all, this is definitely my next T. I've got 4 so far. Let me just ask, this T is strictly hands off right? or do any of you handle?

I don't handle any of my T's unless it's an emergency but from what I hear these guys are not too good for handleing.

[Kumo Punch]
