wow, Stent's Birdspider looks awesome!!!
Here are some pics of my Brachypelma smithi.
I reared her since she was a little 1 cm juvie.

 

[dansfish4tea]

wow thats awsome

 

[hornet]

i got 5 stents, cant wait till they grow for me

 

[bylo]

wow

Nice tarantua

and what substrate is it on

 

[Tsubakai]

The Stents are awesome. They will be my next T.

 

[Lars K]

The substrate is made of clay. It's called Seramis. It's similar to the clay balls you use
for hydroponics. I just exchanged the peat for Seramis. A lot of people use it
and I just tried it too.

 

[hornet]

hows old is your smithi now?

 

[Lars K]

About 8 years.

 

[hornet]

that the only t you got? My oldest t is probably more then 10

 

[Lars K]

No, but I only got pics of my B. smithi.
I got Brachypelma emilia, Aphonopelma bicoloratum,
Vitalius cristatus, Avicularia versicolor spiderlings and
Avicularia spec. amazonica (Brazil) spiderlings.
I would love to keep a Poecilotheria metallica.
But I'll wait till the prices will hopefully go down for them.

it may have been a tree funnel web( unlikely as they spend there lives high in the trees) i'm pretty sure the are more robust in build and size to the sydney funnel web.. also the female syd funel web is extreemly dangerous even more so when fully grown as they can deliver a much larger venom yeild in there bite! and the sydney funnel web is by no means a small spider they do grow to a decent size not the size of the t's but still quite large in comparisan to our other aussie spiders! u will prob find it wa alarge trap door, the can have very similar fetures and can be miss identified by a novice quite easily.

ive been looking at the U.S tarantula forums and some of the foreign spiders look stunning is there any chance of importing spiders for mexico and the US or is it illegal also do any aussies breed the black and orange tarantulas?

Thanks.
