New Spider Pairings

[jmugleston]

Theraphosa stirmi:
Two of these girls decided to accept the males this week.




Pterinochilus murinus:
Two of these girls decided they liked the male as well:




Ummm. Looks like he has the idea:


Haplopelma longipes:
The second most gorgeous haplo. (I'll have pics of the most attractive haplo as soon as the female H. hainanum is ready to go.)


Looks like she liked him:


Phormictopus cancerides:
Old man knows how to work the ladies still


Anthropomorphism or not, I think I can almost see a look of determination in his eyes:


Ceratogyrus brachycephalus:
I love horned baboons!


Ceratogyrus darlingi:
It's kind of like david and goliath. Only instead of a giant dude, it is a giant chick. And instead instead of a sling you have palpi emboli. I guess it is nothing like like that story, but who cares:


P. fasciata:
A couple of these girls decided it was time for mating too.
This guy is missing a pedipalp, but he's still got it down


This guy has both palpi, but he's the smallest adult male P. fasciata I've ever seen. His brother is mature at about 6+ inches. He's pushing 4 or so.

Cool pairings,

Just a Q, how did you get both of those T's back in their tub after they mated on the wall LOL?

Typically asking nicely works. If that fails then I direct them with my ruler (nicknamed the male life saving stick as it is used to keep overly aggressive females from munching the males afterward). If that fails, then I just cup them and put them back in. Typically it isn't an issue. Though I have had to pull a few from the ceiling when I wasn't fast enough.
