Genus Avicularia

Time for me to post some Avic pics too (and try to use the new upload function )

A. ulrichea

[Mendi]

I think this new way to post pictures is great, particular for us without a site. Now what would have taken multiple posts get taken care of in one.

Now having remembered where I had Dancer's pictures stored, my female A.avicularia RIP here she's got about 3 and seriously munching out

Hi
Here is a cool avic I picked up, it's since died though.

Thanks for your observation. I was thinking the same thing, hence the post. And one little detail I didnt mention--they're WC, so ending up with two diff avics makes some sense. Everybodies doing fine, so thats ok w/me.
Two that are "likely" A metallica have molted, and proven female....

dont really matter what they are still nice looking

And two more of my little avics, as I have yet to see the little A. laetas. First one is mom with eggsac but is pretty hard to make out, and next is one of the two males I had with her, she made a snack out of the other . Greg

I was finally able to take some decent pictures of "Blue" a little while ago, and here is the story that goes along with it:

Blue was on the side of his enclosure and I noticed there was a half dead cricket stuck between the water dish and the bark. I took the lid off and used my forceps to get the cricket out. Of course I wasn't paying much attention to Blue, just trying to get to the cricket. Grabbed the cricket with the forceps, and started pulling it out. As soon as I was at the same level as Blue he threw himself on the cricket, hanging onto the forceps. What precision! Kinda scared the wits out of me for a second, but he was just content to climb from the forceps onto the bark, cricket in tow.

Gotta love this species, I certainly do.

Here's mine




A.metallica

A.versicolor

[Hairyspider]

How are there dispositions?, I've heard that they are more defensive than most other Avics. I plan on getting more Avics.
I have become friends with an owner of a local Reptile shop, who will do some ordering for me and only increase the price 20%, since he doesn't have to house them or do any feeding. So I feel a big order comming on If he can get these I will be ordering an A.hurrania, A.minatrix, A.metallica, A.purpera. A.juruensis, A.laeta, and poss some Psalms.

One of my A. laeta slings

Either a juv. laeta or bad lighting or a different species because laeta look pretty much just like a versicolor as a s'ling and keep there blue until about the 2" mark. Greg
