Oooh it's one of those blue spiders!

How rare are those?

It's definitely a beauty. :)

I've always had trouble with mygalomoprh genders. Their palps just don't seem so distinct between the sexes as the other spiders.

I'd bet I could get some awesome shots of this one if I could pull my nerves together to get close.

I almost got attacked while trying to get a good photo inside the tank. Better stick with through-glass shots from now on. XD This one is quite wild and hard to get a photo of as it darts into its burrow just at the sound of me walking towards the tank.

I've read that the only way to factually tell a tarantula's gender is by looking under it: http://tarantulas.tropica.ru/files/.....exing_book.jpg but I rarely catch my tarantulas on the side of the glass where I can actually see that area.

i've mostly just waited on a cast off molt to sex mine, especially when they are juveniles its not gonna be that long to hang out
having something you can take your time to examine, that's even easier than hoping your not just misinterpreting a shadow through glass
the inside of a T is much more telling than the outside (sans a microscope)
i have a female A. seemani that acquired a male-like stain just from how she rested on the substrate and it only disappears following a molt, then returns

so, i see this photo subject has 8 legs, might your next photo post feature something with no legs then?

Oh that's awesome. You should try to get a vid of him/her catching a roach.

Well here it is catching a cricket a few months ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0uaENj0Us4 :)

My rosehair refuses to eat roaches. she just wants crickets which are far to small for a good meal for her. Not shy about eating those, though! I love the colors on your curly. I didn't think they were so bright.

CUTE! And my T is named Fluffy Muffy Cuddlepants so I understand completely!

Lovely furball, I've been wanting one for a while, but am waiting until my aging male G. rosea finally goes. I'm amazed, he's almost three years past ultimate molt and going strong.

beautiful X3

how is it to have one in your hand, I always wanted to know =o

Oh golly, its like a living cactus. *giggles* So cute. <3

Haha you feed your beloved cockroaches to the spider? Poor things. :3 That is a terrifying looking beast, no doubt about it. I want one.

We have these black ones here! http://www.kattywampus.com/stuff/ar.....a-close-up.jpg
You might look at some of the other stuff in that folder. :3

It's got beautiful colors.

I'll be honest and say that Fluffybutt is a cutie!

OMG SO CUTE X3

I've been wanting a cobalt, but until I have my own house giant spiders are a big nono XD
