I reacently hatched some M. monocirculata. This is the spider that was previously sold as Raveniola sinensis here in the US. I should thank Bastian Drolshagen of Germany for help with the ID, and providing the papers.

Adult Female Macrothele monocirculata


Breeding and female with eggsac.




Only about 25 eggs out of 100 hatched:?


Im hoping to have better results with my other female that was bred.
Well see, Later, Tom

I havent decided if im gonna sell them yet. Due to the low number of slings, Im keeping most, and trading to local collecters here.

later, Tom
