zoobooksales.com has 'em for cheaper. You can get Charpentier's notes on Avics as well as the Poecilotheria/Stromatopelma one.

They've got good info, but they are quite dated.

The ATS forum is one benefit of being a member of the American Tarantula Society. It is not a stand-alone "magazine".

The ATS works for all of us American tarantula (and other inverts) keepers. So, how come you're not a member?!? ;P

Please support the ATS.

PS - The annual conference in Carlsbad in June is a blast.

I sure would love if someone would email me a copy of the above (or sell me a copy of that issue). I don't have it and it's too old to get from the site.

I bought that Poecilotheria mag off of EBAY, I found it to be great read . I think it was published in the late 90's, but im not sure , cuase i dont have it handy. Some of the info might be dated, but a great read either way. Its got some great info on Stromatopelma's also. They have the "new" spiecies listed as P. pococki, although I thought that might be hanumavilasum now, but i realy dont know. Looking at the pics in this mag i would of guessed that it was a subfusca.

I second Philth's review. I have them both and they are pretty good but way out of date.

according to SMITH (1996) "... P. pococki is a junior synonymy of P. smithi."

I just received the Poecilotheria and Avicularia issues of Exothermae (e-bay rocks!) and was wondering about Mr. Charpentier's writings. I take EVERYTHING I read with a grain of salt, are his writings accurate?

One Avicularia species was listed as inhabiting Southern California, in the San Diego area. We have none local that I know of!

Nope. 'Tis an Aphonopelma in Cali that Charpentier mentions.
It's out of date, and a lot of revisions have been done since he made those magazines, but it's a good read if for nothing more than the way he points out the error of calling some Avicularia "species" based on juveniles, no locality data, etc. Too bad it seems Tesmoingt and Brandle and Bauer didn't get a copy of it before they went wild with Avic "descriptions" in the mid 1990's, though.

BTW, there are some comments by Andrew SMITH about the Exothermae Magazine:
