And an unpictured tiny tiny h maculata


:D

Congrats.... They look great!!!
:D

Awesome choices!!! They are all little cuties that will grow up to be gorgeous adults!!! How are you liking the H. mac?

THANKS! The H mac was a bit dry and I gave it some water and it has been drinking :) It's really neat to watch it drink off of the wall. But it's super tiny :)


What are your thoughts on the p irminia? Look female to you ^_^?

I am on my phone and when I enlarge the pic or the irminia it gets blurry but I do not see anything that screams male right at this very second. When they are smaller I usually use a 10x or 15x jewelers loupe to look at them ventrally to get an idea of what they are going to be before you can see with the naked eye. Some are tough to get an idea of either way even with a jewelers loupe though. For instance I can't tell even with a jewelers loupe one way or another what my A. purpurea, juruensis or minatrix slings are looking but certain ones scream what they are probably going to be at a tiny size if you can get a good look.

Cool, I still don't really know what to look for when looking with the naked eye... when people say "that looks male" or "that looks female" i have no idea what they are talking about lol.

MY friend said he thought he saw an "epigastric furrow" but again I don't know what that is ^_^

Very cool! Congrats on the new ones :)

Regards,

very nice pickups.

if I could stop adding to my snake collection for a few minutes I'd have a few tarantulas myself. hope jeff can help you with the sexing, but I'd wait for a molt to confirm anything.

I actually have its last molt, but don't know what to do with it :)

Congrats!! They are AWESOME :D
