I feed you, I nourish you, I keep you warm.

SO WHY DON'T YOU GROW????? :mad: :mad: :mad:

This little Aphonopelma sp."Guatemalen Blue" has reneged on the deal.

[Mendi]

You can expect Aphonopelma's to grow about as fast as glaciers move... extremely slow. I have some slings that were maybe 1/6" when I got them a little over a year ago that haven't even made it to 1/2" yet... But think of it this way, you'll get to enjoy even the males around 10 years before they mature :D

Really you thinks so

[G_Wright]

I just found a loead of pics of Lasiodorides striatus and they look nothing like my T. But I did find some pics on peoples sites of that were labled as A seemanni that were brownish like mine.

Pluse I also read that there is a tan veriations of A seemanni

[G_Wright]

Hummm mamby it is I just found another pic that look very simlar

[phormingochilus]

I know that you cannot positively ID a spider from a picture, but having the usual imports in mind and the general "looks and feels" of L. striatus and A. seemanni in mind I would say that your T is most likely to be L. striatus. Compare with this picture from Rick West's site:

http://www.birdspiders.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=photo.detail&imageid=15B00941KD0B7KAEC2K14E9BC04FCA49172

At least I can say this much. All A. seemanni has orange/tannish spinnerets and are orange/tannish ventrally. Do your spider possess that kind of ventral coloration?

I can say this is not an A. seemanni. Most likely a L. striatus

In my opinion a very nice spider that grow very very large and easily outgrow an A. seemanni ;-)

Quick revival of the Aphonopelma thread :cool:

First up is my A.anax that will sometime be over 1" leg span, but it is now over at least 2yr old

Next is T-porn... Female Sandy and Ty going aerobic.

Here is the sperm transfer... :o

Then there is my almost always angry female A.moderatum... I woke her up to clean out uneaten dinner

Last up is Tuesday, a mature A.seemanni female

most of my slings are to little to take good pic's of ( plus my camera isn't all that great)
but aphonopelmas are the best!
they remind me of the poke-mon-craze .... got to get them all!!

now just the rest to go ... how many aphonopelmas are there again?
and since they don't get all that big .... the good stuff is usually in the smaller package.
aarrrgghhh.. i need the aphonopelma dwarfs, too :wall:

Look out later, I'll be appreciating even more Aphonopelma spp. Some are on the way, and many are slings that are way too small to show their full brown potential

:worship: :worship: Aphonopelma's :worship: :worship:

[Mendi]

Yeah, I need the dwarfs myself

Anyone got any they need to sell me??

[GQ.]

The first girl is a fantastic chocolate color right after she molts. This is her latest picture long after her last molt. She still looks great to me! I'll be sure to snap more pictures after a fresh molt.

The second tarantula is a problematic species. It is supposedly known as Aphonopelma 'eutylenum' type. It is a problematic species that needs further study from what I have gathered on it. The tarantula pictured was photographed and left in the wild.

The third one is a tarantula that I collected near Alamogordo, New Mexico. I don't know what it is. Anyone? Is it perhaps Aphonopelma anax?

Jay,

Nice A. chalcodes! I sure wish we would have photographed that one we saw out near Phoenix. I really liked the color of it. I can't believe I didn't take at least one picture of it. :wall:

[David_F]

I love Aphonopelma. I only have A. seemani and A. sp "Carlsbad Green" right now but both are beautiful. I couldn't bring myself to dig up my seemani this past weekend to get a photo but here are a couple of the CG.

What is that beautiful blue spider? Is it docile and good for beginners? I don't have a tarantula yet, but I am going to get one? Is that one for sale? I would love to have that one. Does that one live a long time? Is it gentle?

Christy W. {D


It is an Aphonopelma semanni Common name Costa rican zebra. it is very docile, but very skittish and has kicked it's hairs at me once. It usually runs to its burrow when i get too close to the tank. This one is not for sale sorry. you will most likely see one like this in a pet shop but that one will be very brown in color -USUALLY- when these spiders molt they can be quite different colors brown, black and sometimes blue. from what i have seen the blue seems to be a bit rare. the female of this species can live a long time, depending on care and living conditions. The male of this species most likely wont live long after maturity. To awnsert your question of this spider being gentle....It's not a puppy and it CAN bite you, but so can ANY spider. these spiders are commonly mislabeled in pet shops as "stripe knee" and sell for about 20$. To be sure you have an Aphonop[elma semanni look for orange/ tan colored spinnerettes on the butt.

[smalltime]

Wow! I love Aphonopelma's :} :} , but there so hard to get here in Europe...except for the WC seemani.....

New one to appreciate

Aphonopelma sp Cuernavaca F "Fudge"

[Mendi]

This is a Mocha, or a female Aphonopelma sp "Redbud Trail"

[Mendi]

My other female Aphonopelma sp "Redbud Trail"... She's Chocolat

[Pheonixx]

wow mendi you have a lot of aphonopelma there. Hows that male of spydras doing? did he do the deed yet?

[Mendi]

He's resting from the trip, having a cricket, waiting on Cher and Tuesday to finish their dinne, getting primed and recharged. He's ready, and one of them ready to meet him. I don't trust the girls and wanted to know that they aren't in the least bit hungry. Hopefully they play nice, and I get to take pictures of the meeting

Which one should he meet 1st? Both are hard bodied busy little dozers

1. Tuesday?
or
2. Cher?

[Pheonixx]

i cant say.. both look good to me. He made a sperm web in my care so he should be ready, i hope he is less jumpy with you.

[shogun804]

here is my A seemani posing for some pics...i threw a pen in there for size purposes she is about 5"... :D. its also due for a molt within the next few months

[Mendi]

Geez, reviving this caused me to post a few more if my Aphono's

1. A.texense F Marge wanted me to show off her new molt...

2. one more... She had somehow managed to rub off enough of her hairs the 30some hours between casting the exuvia and pictures to have a little bald spot. I think she started playing dozer... :rolleyes:

3. My sweet little female A.moderatum Kerry finally lost all her sling brown :D

4. Macro study of Teal, a female A.sp."Tnerb" aka "Carlsbad Green"

5. Closest to A.moderatum T.porn yet. Sassy must like this male, they've been living together since June :confused: Yet she'll bite me for upening the enclosure.

Maybe her being WC gave her that attitude, but Kerry is a Swifty CB baby, and never has thought to even threaten me... Course, that might not have anything to do with the personalities either, but we'll never know :o

[Mendi]

Leon, what are you feeding her to get that much color? She is gorgeous :drool: :worship: :clap:


I promice not to give away the secret :worship:


But anyways, I thought I would get pictures of my 3 & 4 year old Aphono slings... They grow so very terribly slow... I've got some just reaching ½'' LS and I've had them, well, since I got the addiction, some 3 years ago. I'm doubting they will mature before I'm 60 :eek:

1. This little A.behlei I've had 3 years now, and she's healthy and all, but hasn't any growth hormones "Someday Grow" is her name

2. Her she reminds me of a 3-4 month old B.albo... She appears to have a good bit of black hairs though, I don't consider any of them slings anymorem as they are all at least 2 and some goingo on 4

3 & 4... A.sp."Roswell", can they grow any slower? I think "Roswell" is a better fitting name "New Mexican Blonds". I'm sure something igot left in the soil there, maybe even turning them into a dwarf species :p

5. A.sp. "Carlsbad Green" grow only nano increments faster

But, even though they are soooo slow I just love 'em. And if I get really tired of waiting on them to grow, I will get a grown one. :o

[Mendi]

Oh no, that wasn't the end of the little miniT post. I've got gobs of Aphono's

1. This one is A.so."Flagstaff Orange" She is growing faster than the last 2 mentioned :)

2 & 3 Now this species really does grow by leaps and bounds when compared to these others. Meet Chloe the A.sp."Megastriatus"

4. Calfornia Dreaming, my A.eutylenum is growing a hair faster... Course you won't notice it for a few years :rolleyes:

5. A.clarki... New to the Aphono collection but is already leading me to believe it is one of them


One thing though, I have really getting practice with patience with these special "brown" Aphono's :o :D

[David_F]

Finally got a photo of my A. seemani. She was my first T and is still one of my favorites. I'm surprised she let me hold her though. She's usually a bit psycho. :D

This little Aphonopelma sp."Guatemalen Blue" has reneged on the deal.Oy! I'm thinking about getting an aphonopelma, but after reading this thread, I'm a bit concerned they'll grow SO slowly that I might forget about them. :eek:

[WhyTeDraGon]

Id never purchase a baby, why when I can just go across town and get an adult female for free {D

Im pretty impatient, I dont think I could wait on one of these to grow.
But I AM waiting on 3 G. aureostriata's to grow...maybe thats even worse lol

[kyle_de_aussie]

I wreckon theres some satisfaction in raising slings i like watching them as the grow and become more defined in there features after each moult
slings are cool ;)

[Blasphemy]

I agree, but the drawback is they're so fragile

nice lovely spider:)

[Cigarman]

Are most A. Seemani's this docile?

[becca81]

Are most A. Seemani's this docile?

They are usually a bit high-strung and nervous, but don't readily bite. They would much rather try to run or jump away.

[stonemantis]

A. Seemani's are pretty high strung. Congratulations on being able to hold one without it escaping

[Brian S]

This one was a little high strung when I first got it but it has mellowed out alot.

[N.W.A.]

Can you get a picture of the fangs? You have gotten me interested in this spider and I think I might want to get one.

[Brian S]

Well I have already put her up for now. Her fangs look like most others though.

[slavestate13]

I caught this last night. It's probably the size of a silver dollar. I live in east county san diego. I almost stepped on it. It was missing the leg when I found it.

Are you sure this is A. stoicum ? Take a look at legs IV, I think it could be Crassicrus lamanai. I have had this species some years ago, very unusual and nice.

[tarantulakeeper]

Here's one you don't see very often. I bought her along with a mature male back in May of 1999. The male was mature and could fit on a silver dollar. I gave him to Tom Prentice. She is fully mature and under 2 inches. Both were collected near Portal, AZ. She just molted. John

[tarantulakeeper]

Here's another one that just molted. She was collected in 1999 from Prescott, AZ which is north of Phoenix. She is also mature and under 2.5 inches. Just shows not all Arizona aphonopelmas are brown. John

[Lorgakor]

A very drab A. seemani. I hope it looks better after its next molt. It doesn't like me very much.

I picked up some macro lenses filters for my digital camera the other day, have been playing around with them, havent gotten it all figured out yet. I took these, the enclosure was on a dark shelf so the lighting wasnt the best, so it required a flash. The depth of field was reduced on some, as it would focus on one leg and others would be slightly out of focus but i'll nail it soon :P

the photos were 1856x1392, photobucket reduced them greatly but you can see what he looks like pretty good
oh yeah, hes about 1.25 inches, got him about a month and a half ago

[ruiner]

I just picked up this Aphonopelma seemani a few days ago.
Shes been acting weird though, at the pet store she was dropped pretty good in her little keeper.
So hopefully shes alright, but they said i could bring her back.
But she hasnt started burrowing&she hasnt eaten yet.

I would recommend getting rid of the water gel and replacing it with clean fresh water. The water gel is not recommended for tarantulas.
It might take her some time to get settled into her new enclosure.

Nice pics!!!
It seems that the A. seemani its the most favorite from aphopelmas{D
And what about Aphonopelma pallidum? Did somebody heard about it?
Ive got a hybrid of A. pallidum crossed with Brachypelma vagans:wall:
It was a freebie.....

This is a 4" spider I raised from a sling born in captivity August 2003 from a wild collected egg sac found in the hills NW of Canon City, Colorado. So we're looking at a sac that was found at around 7000 ft + in altitude.

This was supposedly something called an A.coloradanum which I suspect is nothing but a colorful A.hentzi whose cephalothorax is a bit more shiny gold than 'normal' for a A.hentzi. Does anyone else in the Denver area still have any of the slings from that spider party long ago? This is one of three I have left. They were very easy to raise, are extremely low maintenance and, as you can see, quite colorful.

Hi

Tihs species havent got revision. In all articles it has been in genus Aphonopelma. The arachnologist have lot different signs which differentiate two genuses and similar spicies in other genuses.

That is just one stunningly beautiful Tarantula! And I bet theyre not for beginners too:(

Actually, A. seemani IS one of the species most-recommended as "beginners' tarantulas". They are very rugged and durable as T's go, and are easy to obtain, at least in the US, where I often find adults(including my own blue-phased female)for sale for as little as $5.00. I would not consider them to be a "handleable" species, generally speaking, though. All that I've ever seen have been nervous and skittish and all-too-quick to throw a theat display.

My female A.Chalcodes

[pitbulllady]

Here's a couple of fresh pics of a really small mature female Aphonopelma "somethingorother" that I've had for 5-6 years now. She was found as a "still-colorless"(according to her previous owner)'sling underneath some bricks in his backyard near Las Crucas, New Mexico, not far from the borders with TX and Mexico. He had her for 8 years before becoming bored with her and disappointed that she wasn't becoming this huge spider that he'd hoped for. His mother and I are good friends, and when she told him I had tarantulas, he sent this one to me. She is mostly black, which does fade to a duller brownish-black after awhile, but she moulted a couple of days ago, so I took these pics of her recently-moulted. I put a standard-sized prescription pill bottle cap in with her in one pic for scale, to show how small she is. This is the first time, though, that she's shown reddish setae underneath her legs following a moult. She is very docile and has never even kicked hairs at me.

No, it's on a potting soil mixture from Wal-Mart.
I wish I COULD say that I have these things on my doorstep, but that's not the case. I live in South Carolina, on the east coast of the US, a LOOONG way from any native T populations. The nearest native populations are half a continent away, and it's a big continent! There are still some colonies of introduced B. vagans in Florida, but it's not like I will have the opportunity to go down there and look for any. I really don't have any more opportunities to find T's than you do, so I have to either buy 'em, or luck up once in awhile and have someone give me one that they've gotten tired of, like this one. Most of my freebies are G. roseas, though, that the owners have gotten scared of.

Hi Peter!
http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/6857/aphonopspecmexicolg6.jpg


May I suggest about the origin? Should be Yucatan peninsula...
And seems so it is NOT Aphonopelma at all.

Hi Peter!



May I suggest about the origin? Should be Yucatan peninsula...

Hi Mikhail!

It's been a while... I thought the exact same thing when I saw this picture. Peter did not respond to my PM.

Coincidentally, the Brachypelma sp. Yucatan I have, were initially sold under the very same name: Aphonopelma sp. Yucatan. So much for Ray's nonsense about them not being available anywhere else (other than in our collections) and/or being hybrids... Ha ha!

Anyhow, to be continued via email.

Cheers,

Emmanuel

Just Got It This Morning And Already Infatuated !!

A. Bicoloratum

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/eerievonlee/betterpic.jpg

I think it may be a female but i'm a little unsure ... insofar as sexing goes i only know what i've read ... when i first put it into the tank it made a bee-line for the open lid and climbed up the side which let me get a little look underneath ... seen what looks like a flap !

hopefully it's a "she" - i've heard females live a lot longer !

justnow it's a bit quiet - hiding away in the burrow... i'm hoping that it'll liven up tonight !

i'll keep ya posted !!

Gorgeous moderatum, bob! They are such stunning Ts...
Thanks!

Here are some pictures of a MM Aphonopelma moderatum... Notice the pair of spurs :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v127/_bob_/Arachnids/ouchy38631.jpg

[josh_r]

any successful breeding with those moderatum bob??

[_bob_]

not yet he just hooked out a few days ago. there are some females here in town that he will go too as soon as he makes some sperm webs. have you had any success with the moderatum?

[josh_r]

i have never worked with moderatum, but i have had good success with other aphonopelma. some unidentified species as well as a few dwarf species. i have a paloma sitting on a sac right now. good luck with the moderatum. they really need to be bred so the wild populations dont get hit so hard anymore.

[Zoltan]

My probably-male subadult Aphonopelma pallidum coming out of the burrow. I'm guessing the gender from the red-ish colour of the hairs on the abdomen and the black-ish color of the carapace.

[M.F.Bagaturov]

Can You post another overall view of this "pallidum"?

[Zoltan]

Sure. Here it is.

This looks more like a Holothele species.

[Philth]

This looks more like a Holothele species.

Nah, Im sure its a Aphonopelma sp. Here's a pic of it before he matured.
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f345/TomPatterson/p4200795Small.jpg

The reason for my :? is becuase of the striking resemblance to the spider sold as A. crinirufum in the U.S.

A. crinirufum

A. crinirufum ultamite male
http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f345/TomPatterson/P6171538Small.jpg

I suspect these might be the same spiders(in the hobby) based just on color:shame: I've seen both of them sold as "blue fang/front" , but from what I remember being told the orignal describtion of A. burica makes no mention of blue. (havent seen the description myself though)

Later, Tom

[M.F.Bagaturov]

[QUOTE=Eraisuithon;1159246]Sure. Here it is.

This is Brachypelma sp and not any of the species of Aphonopelma at all definately.
As I've said before most possibly You have B. verdezi there, but spermathecae and other characters examine needed for full confirmation.

[M.F.Bagaturov]

Hi Tom!

Typical adult male A. seemanni from this pic.
But from the picture of this tarantula before maturity molt I would say A. crinirufum.
What makes You doubt the first id, Tom?

Chris, I love the pics of the legs at the burrow entrance. I want to get a tattoo of a burrow on the top of my foot, with just the legs of a moderatum sticking out. Its definitely one of the coolest things ever, and never gets old.

[hamfoto]

That is going to be a coooooool tattoo!

My A.Seemani has just molted for the 2nd time... AND IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE GROWN AT ALL... ARRGH! When would I get to see it grow to an inch at least?!:mad:

[Taipan]

Aphonopelma found 2 miles West of Dell CIty, TX. Looks like a Carlsbad green to me but what do you think?

[hamfoto]

Yes, they way it looks in the pic and that locality is more than likely the "Carlsbad Green".

Please PM me about this locality when you get a chance...
