Nice hornet! Off topic a bit but, Can you tell me the sc. name for a Flinders Ranges scorp?

 

[hornet]

That is Urodacus elongatus Gotta get my hands on some oneday.

Thanks hornet, i did google and some came up as desert scorps etc I got a bit confused. I'm not up on anything scorpion but I bought hubby one for Fathers Day as he is keen on them, so I was trying to do a bit of research. Cheers.
What's the common name for these spiders above?

 

[hornet]

no real common name, these were all lumped under Selenocosmia crassipes at one stage and that has the common name is the whistling spider i believe. Apart from that they are all just called tarantula's or bird eating spiders.

Ta, hubby wants some of these too, he likes my pythons but not as keen as I am, although he has always had a facination with bugs!!

Urgh... I can't even look at those pics without shivers going down my spine... My boyfriend finds it amusing that I hate spiders so much and won't go near the bird eatting spiders in the pet stores!

More info please the only vulpina I know is a mite spider

 

[hornet]

selenocosmia vulpina, quite a rare species, very stocky

Selenocosmia vulpina Hogg 1901 is in fact S. crassipes
gets very confusing!!

Hornet, what are you using as substrate for your Eunice slings? I was thinking of changing from sphagnum moss (supplied by the guy i got them off) to something like cocopeat.

yes it was changed back to crassipes for some reason but it is a distinct species and should be put back to species level soon.

i only have 1 sling left on spagnum as i found mould was growing alot more than on coco peat so thats all i'm using from now on.
