Ain't she "bonny"?

She's about 2" s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out! :D Very underrated species IMHO, she's gorgeous in the sunlight.

Thats on top of my list i hope to get one in the near future

Mine is at that stage where I never thought it would grow and now seems to double with each molt. Must be adolescence! {D

Little... but MIGHTY pretty!

[MizM]

Well, I guess I should post a pic of the eternal bachelor, my male cyaneifemur. I can't find him a woman anywhere, so he is doomed to die a virgin. So sad, considering his good looks! :(

Tremendously beautiful! :worship:

4" female Bonnetina cyaneifemur. Freshly molted.

I have a male around the same size... hopefully she'll be big enough when he matures.

THERE IS A FEMALE IN AMERICA??? I've been looking for MONTHS! My male has been mature for some time now, so I doublt he'll still be good when your girl matures. How long do you think it will be before she's ready to mate?

I'd rather have him at least be able to spend some time with a woman and die happy, even if he isn't producing sperm anymore.

[GoTerps]

I've had these 2 sexed as M/F since about the 1.5" mark. I got them both at 0.5" in February, 2004.

I saw your posts about your male, but never contacted you b/c my female was too small of course.

She just reached the 3" mark this past week. I would have no problem attempting to mate her after her next molt... won't be full grown but probably sexually mature.

This is a sub-adult male Bonnetina cyaneifemur. The female pictured above will be ready for love when he matures :)

[MizM]

:( I've been searching the entire country for a female for my male!!! Would you consider letting him have a bit of fun with your girl before he goes the the great burrow in the sky?

[GoTerps]

Here's some photos I took last night of mating Bonnetina cyaneifemur.

The camera flash does this species no justice. Unlike some species with blue coloration, in which the flash really brings out the color nicely, this species gets dulled down. In natural light this species is so spectacular... I really love it.

[MizM]

Yes, they are spectacular! Good luck, hope you get a sac! Sadly, my male died a virgin last month. :(

[Crimsonpanther]

Wow those are stunning T's...Ive never even herd of that Sp.
I guess its time to do more research !! Anyways nice Sp and there Colours are absolutly stunning !! :clap:

[tarcan]

This species is very hard to photograph indeed... here is a picture of a female of ours.

Eric, how big is your female?

[GoTerps]

Eric, how big is your female?

Hey Martin, she's right around 4" DLS.

[edesign]

wow...new species for my wish list :)

seems like it has similar coloration to C. chromatopelma but not quite as pronounced?

[Steve Nunn]

Stunning genus guys!! Thanks for posting this, I'm not that into NW theraphosids, that are in the trade anyway, but they are awesome!!

Steve

[rosehaired1979]

Awww sorry to hear about your male Terri I was really hoping he could get to Erics in time. Anyways good luck Eric on the breeding and hopes its a success cause if you do have a sac I may buy a couple :)

[Philth]

Here is a pic of a small female rudloffi, I often get alot of blue on the legs when I take pics of it. These are not sopposed to be blue:rolleyes: the legs do not look this blue in real life.

No, they do kind of look that way in the photo... but they are not eggs.

[GoTerps]

Awesome. when do they become comercially available ?

In the next few weeks, they'll be ready to go. PM me if you'd like a few :)

There was recently a group imported as well, so we'll have a couple new bloodlines to raise.

Eric
Wow they're tiny!

Congrats :)

[Steve Nunn]

Many congrats Eric, great job!! :) It can be exciting when you breed a species you're not that into, but when you get a success from a real personal favourite, it makes it that much sweeter!! ;) Martin G. in Canada has been in the same position too (with those awesome little glow in the dark T's ;)), he knows the feeling :cool:

Cheers,
Steve

[Philth]

Awsome Eric. Were there any bad eggs?, How many altogether?

Yes Tom, there were bad eggs. Probably 1/2 developed and 1/2 didn't. I'm not sure if the 1/2 that didn't develop were infertile, or didn't "like" the incubator or what. They were all good looking eggs. There were about 115 in the eggsac when it was opened. This was a young female that wasn't full grown (at least I don't think she is). The ones in the photo above are all strong and looking great.

I have noticed some canabalism at this stage. But only on a few week slings that probably weren't going to make it anyway.
