Nice pics, but what is Davus fasciatus? I have never heard of it, was c fasciatums name changed or something?

Very nice T's and other crawlies!

Thanks, BUT I hardly ever sell and when I do they go quick. I get too attached to sell anything. lol

Nice pics Dwayne!

That's my D. fasciatus male right? The hair kicker extraordinaire!!

The E. vulpinus looks to be in premolt, should be looking quite nice afterwords! Tony and I started calling them "Dual patchers" lol.

YEP! That's your man! And let me tell you, not only is he a kicker, but he has a vicious attitude. Everytime I tried to stop him he struck at me.

Thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye on the vulpinus. Dual patchers, huh

Aren't pokies very fast? If they are, why would you trust such an expensive spider outside, on the ground?
Nice T's, I especially liked your C.fasciatum

robustum · Jul 4, 2005

Quote from "Vogelspinnen" by Louwerens-Jan Nederlof & Gijsbert Kortekaas

Old name genus - New name genus
Davus - Cyclosternum

Kinda confused right now :?

Really nice pictures by the way

I'm gonna try using natural light some time soon, never done that before.

To recent a change to be included I guess.

And, Cyclosternum has not been "replaced" by Davus. Cyclosternum is still a valid genus. Davus has simply been removed from synonymy with Cyclosternum.

Thanks Lelle! Also, thanks for clearing up the suspicions I had on the Cupennius, as I am sure someone gave you a heads up

HAHA, Expensive??? Who said?

Believe it or not the fastest Ts have the hardest time running in grass, try it, you'll know what I am talking about. Even my centipedes were slow. There is no where for them to escape to. My yard is big and there are no holes for them to run into.

I do want to caution everyone that taking your Ts in direct sunlight (hot) is not good for the Ts and they should not spend too much time in it. If you take photos outside, do it quickly and get them in the shade or take them back inside and give them some water. Especially slings, which can dehydrate and die quickly if you are unaware they are sitting in the sunlight. One of Ts almost died yesterday because of it. If you notice them being extremely frantic and running around everywhere in their cage, get them out of the sunlight immediately and give them some water right away. Happy Photo taking.

Spider-man 2 · Jul 4, 2005

Okay, here's the rest of my newest Ts. I actually spent some extra time to take some decent larger photos this time around. Hope you like them.

Chilobrachy fimbriatus - female

Avicularia laeta - spiderling

Nhandu chromatus - FRESHLY molted adult mature female
