Megaphobema robustum

[Boanerges]

LOL, and off he goes.

He's beautiful

Thanks!!! Yeah, he didn't stick around long when I put him back in his home

He's gorgeous. Not social, but gorgeous!

Thanks!!! He is not very social at all unfortunately Big burrower!!! I never get to see him unless I turn his critter keeper around and look at him through the back. I don't think I have ever even busted him out and about before. The only reason he was out now is because I had to pull him out to fix his little spot up - lol.

Very cool dude!

Thanks!!

Wow. Cool looking spider! He's got hairy pipe cleaners for legs. LOL!

Regards,

Thanks Brian!! The hairs on the back legs of the robustums are VERY bad!! They can actually spin around in a circle to try to hit you with their back legs. The cart wheel of death or something it's called. They can kick hairs too but the cartwheel defense thing is very unique. I have heard of reports where they were known to draw blood with the hairs on the backs of their legs. I have never seen these reports myself though (not that I don't beleive it, just saying I have no actual proof of it if someone asked for it)...
