H.Schmidti before & after molt

[The Juice]

First Pic is before Molt & the last 2 are after. It's about 5" right now.

[evilarachnid]

Very nice pics of your H.Schmidti, I cant wait till mine is that big its just a sling right now. Is yours male of female? how long have you had it?

[The Juice]

I haven't sent out the molt to be sexed yet, so I'm not sure on the sex & I've had it for about 3 weeks.

[ChrisNCT]

Hahahaha .... it was trying to give you a kiss in the second pic.

I think I'll pass but you are more than welcome to come over & get a kiss.(from the T)

I just hope it turns out to be female. I'm planning on sending the molt out so I can get an experts opinion on if this is really an H.Schmidti. Just have to find some one who can do it.

[Ralph]

looks like a H.hainana to me ....
but very nice is surething!
LOL~and. i think it would be a Female~

[TheNatural]

Nice pics, I just got 5 of these little guys

5:eek: One is a hand full for me. Mine is pretty nasty good thing her fangs hadn't hardened up yet when I was taking pics. I wasn't planning on keeping it(Before it molted) but if it turns out to be female I will keep her.

How big are yours "brazil"?

It's seems Ornithoctonus (haplopelma) hainana for me

u must have x-ray eye sights or some sorta exp to see through the spermathecae, since the difference between the two sp is hainana's spermathecae is twice bigger than schmidti

I sent off the molt yesterday to be sexed & Id'd. But the guy said based on the size & build of the spider he would guess female & the dark form of H.Schmidti but he would have to examine the molt to confirm it. I'll post the results when I get them.

Sounds like an invitation for free piercing and jewelry. Pucker up.

Good luck with your findings. Males of the (dark form) of H.Schmidti are knid of scarce lately.

[Seigneur Veinen]

Very nice tarantula !! :drool:

[The Juice]

I got my results back but I was told that the molt was damaged due to my packaging but he was able to sex it and it is......... Female. I guess thats a good thing but I still would like to know what I have & I don't think she will give up another molt wit out a fight:eek: So she might stay unidentified.

Wouldn't be too sure.
It looks too yellowish on the pre-molt pic to me.


And THE JUICE
You could just send the spider instead of the molt, wouldn't be a problem if you know how to pack them. Then you will get it IDd for sure.

I doubt he wanna get rid of a spider just to get a ID
Easier to send the exuvia if one know how to pack it to prevent damaging it.

[The Juice]

I'll just wait for another molt & send that in.

[Michael Jacobi]

Although the molt was too damaged for me to look at anything other than the spermathecae, based on the photos he posted and the spermathecae I am quite sure it is the dark form of Haplopelma schmidti. If you search this site for related threads you will find an explanation of the difference in the spermathecae of H. schmidti and H. hainanum.

Thanks for posting a better pic & taking a look at my molt:worship: Maybe next time I'll get it right.

[Jason Vaughn]

very nice pics juice :D :D

[Scolopendra55]

Sweet T! It looks kinda like my H.longipes.

[bengerno]

Hi,

You have a nice T there ;) Looks like a Haplopelma hainanum for me.
There is a discussion about differences between H. hainanum and H. schmidti HERE (http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=57803&highlight=ID+my+T%3F+Haplopelma+Hainana%3F).:rolle yes:

[The Juice]

Thanks for the link, I'll I can do now is hope I'll be able to get another molt from her. Which of the 2 spieces is less common? H.Schmidti or H.Hianana. It seems to be doing fine now, It has eaten but It hasn't burrowed. I've had her for over about a month. I started a burrow for her the other day, about 2". I didn't want to play in her enclosure to long.

Hi that is a nice looking spider, where did you find it?

[The Juice]

Hi that is a nice looking spider, where did you find it?

I got it in a trade I did with reptist, It was traded to me as an H.Schmidti.


If I was to find out where this specimen was collected would that help with an Id?

[darrelldlc]

I think he got it from me, and it came from china, from a petstore I believe.

Perhaps you could explain why you believe it looks like H. hainanum? As Volker explained in the thread you linked, H. schmidti spermathecae is not only shorter in height, but also has a deeper valley in the middle; both of these characteristics are clearly depicted in my photograph of the spermathecae from "Juice's" spider.

Here is one more pic of her, She doesn't like to take pics. After seeing her spread out like this I'd say she is very close to 6". I just wish she would burrow.
