BTW, 2,5 cl = 2,5 Zentiliter = 25 ml

Here are three cans: an half liter can, a standard 0,33 l can and the 2,5 cl sprite can =;-)

Ah, I assumed it was a typo

That really is a kiddie size can!

Lopez, I have no clue really as I picked her up from a pet store who had it labelled as a "Thai Tiger". I kept calling her C. paganus until a more experienced hobbyiest told me that the current name is H. "longepidum". Why do you say it's the Vietnam sp? What are the differences? Sorry for the questions. In the learning process.

One can never have enough Haplopelma schmidti

Lopez · Jan 21, 2004

Don't try this at home kids!

Lopez · Jan 21, 2004

As you can see, this is a comparatively small specimen

Prepare for some pix to come ;-)

First are these of my lividum - such a beautiful look, such a nasty temper ;-)

No tampering with the colours, but the picture were shot using a halogen spot to bring out the full spectrum colours ;-)

Enjoy

H. albostriatum

Got me one of these guys by accident, long story. Actually we are not positive that it is albostiatum but pretty sure. I lke it but it just had its ultimate moult about one two months ago. Too bad he won't be with us much longer. Anyone know the expected lifespan of mature males of this species?

And another blue shot ;-)

My very largest female of H. schmidti. Also the one with the best tear drop pattern on the abdomen. Can't wait for her to molt, so I can get a good shot of her with her new and vibrant colours ;-)

Haploplema sp. "longipedum" female

Søren

phormingochilus · Jan 28, 2004

Haplopelma sp. "Vietnam".

Compare with the photo of H. sp. "longipedum".

Both are frequently sold as Cyriopagopus paganus. And Haplopelma sp. "Vietnam" is commonly sold as H. sp. "longipedum". Notice the differences these are two different species.

Best regards

Same animal as above - but photographed with full-spectrum light ...

Now you know why it's called violaceopes ;-)

Enjoy ;-)
