@ esmot
if i get spiders at a meeting i don't get them in there "normal" tank's! And if i put the girl on the photo in her new box, she wasn't ver happy! But now she is *g*.

A juv. E.cyanognathus!
@spiral_stairs
Well if they have the change to burrow they do it! I have my larger cyanognathus in boxes with 15-20 cm earth! And they use leaves etc. to build there burrows! That's very beauty!! I think the are not very agressive! If they have the change to go back in there hole they do it!

In Europe they are rare and not the most cheapest species!

Here,s a large varient of E murinus,this specimen is due a molt and has a leg span of just over 7".

I may be wrong but E. murinus do not flick hairs from their abdomens, right? Instead, they flick from their padipalps or is the baldness due to stress? :confused: Can someone shed some light?

yeah no problem as soon as she molts,she is burrowed in at the moment! I use to have pictures of her beside a ruler ill try and find them! And she is fairly docile aswell,which is strange!I once sent a cast skin to a mate in england and he was gobsmacked at the size of it! :eek:

The patch you see is from the last molt it was a piece of cast skin that i never managed to get removed before she hardened,if i had to remove it now i would have tore the new skin underneath,but she has molted again and is perfectly fine now :) ;)

Murinus is one of my most favoritist species!! As for cyanognathus, I would use them as feeders. (you people in the Nashville are know how this works) Im sure the blue fang is the most over rated spider in the hobby, adult photos of them are sickening. But rock on all you murinus fans!

Hi Michael,

Regards,
Steffen

Hi Steffen,

Yes, I am sure. The young hatched here were examined by Rick West (who described E. cyanognathus and E. rufescens along with Dr. Sam Marshall). I am assuming that "from the tooths" means the chelicerae. E. uatuman is very similar in general appearance to E. cyanognathus save for the blue chelicerae. The spermathecae are also different and E. uatuman has blue on the prolateral face of femur I. The emerald green sheen of the abdomen is not shown well in my photos and fades between molts.

For more information on this genus click here (http://www.ephebopus.com/). Those who can't read German may want to click here (http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/babelfish/tr) and enter www.ephebopus.com and select German to English.

Click here (http://www.ephebopus.com/pix.html) for photos of the genus, and here (http://www.birdspiders.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=photo.detail&imageid=7F88633FG3048G23A9G27CD1B04777B7CD4) for Rick West's photo depicting the bluish femur.

Ssspidermom

08-21-2004, 05:49 PM

Michael, how young does this blue show up, and is it in both sexes when they are immature? My E. uatuman is about 3", and a photo I took of her has a definite blue sheen to the inside and underneath of the femur on the front two legs. I would love to know it is a she already ... I haven't had her molt for me yet since I got her, so for now, it's all a guess!!

Followed by random pictures of some of my specimens...

Steve

08-21-2004, 07:24 PM

Hi Michael,
let me explain my thinking(with my bad english).
I have some Ephebopus species , and i know that you can't describe a species because a color and if you saw a photo you can't decide100% the species. I know pictures can adulterate the colors ;). And i'm only a guy who can do "a little bit hobbytaxonomie ;)" I have the first descriptions from uatuman and cyanognathus but there is no large different between the spermathecae of these species(imho, maybe a taxonom have a other view?) And i make photos from the spermathecae of my uatuman and cyanognathus and i can't see a different. And look at the picture from tarkan, blue chelicerae and blue femur I, right? But "blue tooth" = cyanognathus? and blue femur I = uatuman?
and no "blue tooth" = uatuman?

I think that's a problem *g*

I saw a different between the species optical by the color. But that couldn't be all between the two species right?. Uatuman are much brighter than cyanognathus(imho) but that's all??(compare the femur from the 3 and 5 picture from tarkan)? I make some pictures from my species as you can see in this thread. And compare between the spiders i labeled as uatuman and cyanognathus. And because this i look at your picture and think about, because the femur from your female is dark, darker than from the uatuman. But maybe my uatuman females with no blue femur and no "blue tooth" is cyanognathus( i don't belive but maybe i'm wrong?)?

It's possible that i'm 100% wrong, please correct me!

Regards,
Steffen
Btw. i know the page better than you think. It's mine ;) but i have the "problem" between cyanognathus and uatuman. But maybe that's no problem. And i think the second picture from the uatuman on my page is a cyanognathus, but only probable(note the black femur *g*)

Michael Jacobi

08-22-2004, 02:06 PM

Steffen,

I had a feeling that the ephebopus.com site was yours. I even checked your Public Profile to see if it was listed as your home page, but a different site is.

Anyway, as you wrote, color and photographs have little to do with taxonomy. It must be remembered that color can differ quite dramatically in one individual tarantula depending on what point of the molt cycle the specimen was viewed/photographed. Color also varies from individual to individual, and population to population, even if not to the same degree as in "higher animals". And as I wrote, my photograph does not do a sufficient job of representing the spider. It, to be honest, is poorly lit and does not illustrate the purplish-blue color of the "inner femur" of Leg I. Unfortunately, I recently sold her and have no other E. uatuman to photograph.

The female in my photograph is the mother of the juvenile. There were about 80 other siblings and none had blue checlicerae. I had the spiderlings available at the 2003 ATS conference and Rick West looked at them and verified that they were E. uatuman.

The photo you mention by tarcan is interesting. The purplish-blue femur makes me believe it is actually E. uatuman, not E. cyanognathus, even though the photo does give the appearance of bluish tint to the chelicerae (but not the vivid blue).

You mention that you have both of the original descriptions so it seems that our roles in this thread should be reversed - I should be asking you the questions, not vice versa. I have neither. I am sure the paper on E. cyanognathus covers its differences from E. uatuman. I have exhausted my knowledge on the subject. I will email Rick a link to this thread and see if he wishes to comment.

Cheers, Michael

Steve

08-22-2004, 02:34 PM

Hi Michael,
i only ask you because the species because this is very interesting for me! I try to learn as much as possible with this thread.

" Color also varies from individual to individual, and population to population, even if not to the same degree as in "higher animals". " <--- that's right, i agree!

"It, to be honest, is poorly lit and does not illustrate the purplish-blue color of the "inner femur" of Leg I. " right, but i compare it with the other pictures and my spiders at home. And i compare the femur from all leggs. But i said it's possible that i'm 100% wrong, because this i hope somebody can help us.

And if Rick saw your species and said it's uatuman no problem. And if they have no blue chelicerae it's for my current standard of knowledge uatuman.Rick descriped this species and he should know uatuman. 100% Agree :) I'm only a layman.

I hope Rick can help us! Because I have exhausted my knowledge on the subject, too.

Cheers,
Steffen

08-22-2004, 06:24 PM

Michael Jacobi's specimen is E. uatuman. [BTW, I did not describe this species from Rio Uatuman, Brazil, see my website for authors]. Premoult E. uatuman specimens are a faded olive brown, postmoult specimens have , pubescent green abdominal pile setae, violet pubescence on prolateral femur I and NO 'blue' pubescent chelicerae, HOWEVER, in postmoult ultimate females, the chelicerae can have a slight purplish pubescent timge which quickly fades to dull brown as does the green and violet pubescence. Hopes this helps ... now, all get along! :-)

Blue Fangs need deep substrate (peat) to burrow in. If they cannot burrow they will stress out and stop eating. My female has constructed a foot deep burrow and only comes out at night to feed. Keep them moist and warm 75F-80F and you will be rewarded with the ultimate burrower for years to come.

another good cyanognathus eggsack, not to big though. Funny thing is that the mom was Cb by myself April'01. And her mom was born in '98. So this is the third generation in captivity. Also the female from '98 dropped a good egsack in 04.

The drool cloth has been put into service...
Blue fangs are easily one of the most beautiful tarantulas on the planet.
I have one 4" female that I have posted in here somewhere recently.
One thing that is much to my dismay is that my girl is very elusive, keeping to herself in her deep burrow. Coming out at night to poop on the sides of her tank. Her calling card I guess... LOL. :p
BTW... any males out there? We need to breed these breathtaking beauties! :) :razz:

Be carefull if you are going to buy fossor. Sometimes fossor is mixed up with rufescens. I have never seen a picture of an adult fossor. Before rufescens was described, the species was sold in Europe as fossor.

Cheers,
Alex

Steve

06-08-2005, 01:36 PM

Hi,

i'm sure we don't know what's E.fossor. The Holotype is lost and the description is very old and not very good. So nobody can tell you what's E.fossor! So i think they don't breed with E.rufescens.

In the US some dealer sold E.fossor slings some month's ago, but nobody show pictures etc. because this i think it's rufescens.

Cheers,
Steffen

Yes I thought so also! But female and male rejected each other! I left them together in the tank for a week now. This is my 3rd try, but I think that they didn't mate. But you never know, the night has it's own power.:wicked:
Did you try to mate E.cyanognathus also? How did it turn out?

Best regards Uros

Steve

11-18-2006, 04:41 PM

Hi,

well i mated enough of them over the last years ;) and also had enough eggsacs. Normaly it should be no problem and the female reply the drumming very fast. Maybe she will moult soon, she don't looking very fresh.

But i'm VERY sure she's adult. Had eggsacs from females they moulted adult before the males from the same eggsac moulted to adults.

Tom,

When you bred them how long did it take to find out she was gravid? I am currently trying to breed a pair. So far she has not ate him yet. I didn't realize e. murinus females get that big till I unpacked the girl when I got her.

Steffen, you are correct, it is WC, but a very long time captive. This is from import from Guyana in 2002 or 2003. Even though she needs to molt, she did molt a few times at my place.

I gave her up because I want to rebuild my E. murinus group with specimens I know the exact locality, as I am unable to breed what I have currently at home.

Sorry, but how can you fellows tell its wild caught? I don't know enough about that species to tell myself... Looking for a little education!

tarcan

05-05-2009, 08:44 PM

well, I will not answer for Martin and Steffen, but for myself, it would be just deduction as usually, big specimens of this species in the hobby are WC. Guyana massively legally exports it's fauna, and the E. murinus we normally have here in North America usually comes from there.

E. murinus is also, in my opinion, by far the hardest Ephebopus spp. to breed, compared to how easy E. cyanognathus, E. uatuman can be bred (I never bred E. rufescens, never got a mature male, so I cannot comment). Babies are not often around and we rarely see big specimen raised from spiderling. That is why I normally assume big ones are WC.

Martin

CWall2001

05-06-2009, 08:35 AM

What I noticed on the one that they said was wildcaught was the joints on the leg look different, almost like they have been rubbed off. What's up with that, or is that just that individual spider? I was wondering the same thing though.

Martin H.

05-06-2009, 12:30 PM

Hi,

Sorry, but how can you fellows tell its wild caught? have a look at the patellas ("knees"). The hairs are rubbed off => it's usually a sign, that the specimen has been shiped in a small box or was for a longer time in a small box. Usually a sign for wildcaught. Lot's of wild caughts have rubbed off patellas, captive bred / kept specimens not.

all the best,
Martin
