Nice photos. Let's see some shots of the T soon! Those colors are going to look great!
It's funny you say that, cause I had a conversation with Joe Rossi when I first bought this species and I told him the same exact thing. Joe even says that he has never seen an Acanthoscurria mature male that has the looks or characteristics like this species. He also mentioned that it reminded him of a Pamphobeteus sp.wow these are post molt? these are gorgeous. they look more like an Acanthoscurria then they did before. i'd definitely buy one but then again i'm a sucker for large NW terrestials. lol

honestly it looked like a big brown mean Pampho before looking back. even the carapace reminded me of one as well. beautiful regardless.
Bummer! I really would have loved some slings, these fracta are gorgeous even if they are temperamental.The wait is over, my Acanthoscurria fracta decided to molt instead of dropping a sac. It will be a miracle for me to try to find another wild caught male. I'm really disappointed, I wanted babies of this species really bad and it is was not meant to be.......

To me, the biggest attraction is their feistiness. Not many NW's stand in a defensive pose.I really would have loved some slings, these fracta are gorgeous even if they are temperamental.
It's as if, with her bad attitude, her ultimate act of ticking you off was molting way sooner than expected just to ruin your week. Those A. fracta ladies are stone cold.December 2013 she molted and did not molt until late September 2014. It makes me mad that she molted in September 2014 and decided to molt last night.
I paired her up with the mature male a month later after she had molted. She should have waited longer. This species are slow growers I was not expecting her to molt this quickly. The timing was perfect for the breeding process and for her to have drop a sac.
