Hi All, Just did a trade with finman31 for this Tarantula represented as Holothele sp Columbia. Its abdomen is bald and pretty funky looking - I've never seen a Tarantula missing 90% of its hair.

I'd appreciate help with ideas as to which Holothele species it may be.



All The Best, Gabe
Bro can you get me a closer shot of the abdomen that looks a lot like a fungal infection i saw a few yrs back on a hap.A tight shot of the posterior region of the abdomen and the pedicel would be helpful.But regardless thats not a T that should have been sold,traded,or whatever.

I agree it's pretty beat up looking and wasn't doing too well when it got here today. I'm just now realizing the abdomen has black blotches - DR zuum I agree it does look like it could be a fungal infection. I moved it to an isolated area away from my spider room. I'll get better pics of its abdomen tomorrow.

All The Best, Gabe

Gabe,

hey, is it a mature male? I have a mature male B. angustum whose abdomen is really bald and he has some spots like that on it...he is also losing his hair on his legs too. I was guessing that it is just a product of getting really old...if it is a mature male, that would be my guess.

Eggsacs break 100 quite frequently. And females often double clutch.

Hi KJE,

Don't know when the eggsac was laid, so I can't tell. Females typically lay the eggsac within 3-weeks after mating. Spiderlings often emerge around 1-month later... ready to eat!
