I was considering getting an Acanthoscurria collection, and I think you may have convinced me with these pictures. Off to the classifieds!
The thread started out as Acanthoscurria fracta for this species. That’s what the hobby named this species as long ago. After posting this thread come to find out that fracta no longer existed and the species should have never been named such as.Is that what the name settled on for the species in the rest of the thread?
oops lol long going thread from 2013!!Nice rare spider. Definitely hard to come by. A. fracta is synonyms with A. natalensis. See this paper. To confuse things, A. natalensis was in the hobby some years back, but it was actually Nhandu carapoensis, so if you google A. natalensis, most of the pics are N. carapoensis. ( I hope that makes sense) I haven't had A.fracta/natalensis in probably over a decade, but I had no problem keeping them like any other AcanAcanthoscurriathoscurria.

Ehh I see , we’rent some nhandos in the genus once? Or vice versa?The thread started out as Acanthoscurria fracta for this species. That’s what the hobby named this species as long ago.

Long story short after researching thoroughly the name Acanthoscurria simoensi belongs to this species.
Those leg markings are gorgeous! Reminds me a little of E.murinus
I’m trying real hard for this beautiful leg marking species to make it to the hobby, within two weeks I will try to pair the male with her. Hopefully we see some babies sometime next year.Those leg markings are gorgeous! Reminds me a little of E.murinus
So do these pictures mean that the pairing ended poorly for the male?View attachment 290455 View attachment 290456 View attachment 290457 Acanthoscurria simoensi - Palpal Bulb
I'd probably assume not - if the pairing ended poorly, I doubt we'd have anything left to take pictures of besides a squashed ball of tarantula mush.So do these pictures mean that the pairing ended poorly for the male?
Well i figured something bad must've happened if he has disembodied emboli...I'd probably assume not - if the pairing ended poorly, I doubt we'd have anything left to take pictures of besides a squashed ball of tarantula mush.
Hopefully he passed away due to natural causes and made for a good dissection specimen.Well i figured something bad must've happened if he has disembodied emboli...
Hopefully, but unless i am missing something the pairing was supposed to happen less than a month ago. That's why i can't help but think the female decided to be unfriendly...Hopefully he passed away due to natural causes and made for a good dissection specimen.
Oh... I missed that tidbit of info. You might be onto something.Hopefully, but unless i am missing something the pairing was supposed to happen less than a month ago. That's why i can't help but think the female decided to be unfriendly...
