Moderator Age : 53 Registration date : 2008-08-07

She is really beautiful! The last picture is just adorable. How many babies did she give you?

Moderator Registration date : 2009-06-11

Total count was 110 eggs, one was bad, so final count was 109. I currently have 96 left after a trade and a freebie being sent with a seperate deal. That's a lot of mouths to feed!
That being said, I'm seeing a lot of these styled burrows. Really intersting in a cute baby tarantula way

Spider Ninja, whats the disposition of the Chilobrachys fimbriatus?

Moderator Registration date : 2009-06-11

Pissed off as bell in the morning, and it all goes down hill from there
Imagine waking up without your coffee and someone steals your smokes about noon.
But they are really cool! Very Happy

When I rehouse this little critter, I'll get some much better photos and show you the markings on the rump. They are very nice looking, but they also web everything up in sight. Very interesting spider.

Admin Age : 52 Registration date : 2008-08-07

Guest

Sounds like my kinda gal! LOL
Do they spend alot of time hiding?

Moderator Registration date : 2009-06-11

Yep, just like everyother spider in Asia that spends time on the ground, it digs a burrow and lays in wait. Another really cool thing about them is that they web everything up, so if you don't get to see them very much, you still get to see what they're doing around the home. Sometimes watching them organise their burrow is just as interesting as watching them!

That looks great.. I actually don't know much but I really like them.I hada few with roomates and at work I had a few but everyone was afraid and I knew these didn't bite. So thay was cool. I might like a pink toe but I would have to hide it from Melodie for a while lol. I got a perfect tank for her lol.. Any way I love yalls bugs and spiders. 2 cool.

Moderator Age : 53 Registration date : 2008-08-07

Now that is one crazy-busy little bug. LOL
That has to be incredible to just watch all that webbing develop.
Very cool!

Guest

Thats alot of web for one day Yes?

O k dude speak english. It's cool but what is it ? Hey then I got to ask yall spidie peeps ,yall know how small my kids are! Can I touch them or should I wait!The pink toe got on my finger by accident when I was giving a pin head cricket.It ran like heck to get away..... Was actually funnie cause Melodie saw it and almost Pooded!!. They seem to be doing good.Nevereven saw trantulas this small. But it's cool.Pics to follow

Moderator Registration date : 2009-06-11

Pink toes aren't issues. They do like to run and are kinda fast, but far from an issue. They very rarely bite, and if I had a choice, I'd take a pink toe bite over a yellow jacket. Pink toe venom is pretty whimpy stuff really. Just make sure it doesn't jump and get away.

Guest

Thats cool cause I wasn't trying to interact. It was just wher it should have been close to the top. but it did run across my finger lol. I think I suprizes it.. Now the brazilian is slower and I think I could let it touch me. Seems interested?Just wanted to know cause the ones I had were older and I seemed to trust them till they got an attitude. I just never had a spiderling. so let me know. tks.

Moderator Registration date : 2009-06-11

What you got is pretty safe. I wouldn't worry too much. There are a few species from South America that are tempermental, but a safe rule of thumb is that if its from North or South America, its fairly safe. If its from Africa, Asia or Australia, be more cautious of the fangs and venom.
That Brazilian should grow up to be really laid back, and the pink toe should grow up to be a bit skittish, but not bitey at all. As slings they'll be more apt to take off, but I doubt they'll bite, and if they do, their venom is quite weak.

Moderator Registration date : 2009-06-11

Well, I figured I'd update this fairly long post with a pic of what this little tiger stripey thingy looks like. I rehoused a few youngsters, and this one was the only one that gave me grief. In fact, it almost got away! Uehling will back me up on this, tarantulas from the Chilobrachys genus are psycho fast!

I swear Chilobrachys are the fastest thing on 8 legs! Just wait till it gets to about 5" and it's not only lightning fast but it can put a hurtin on you if you got bit! My Chilobrachys are the only thing in our collection that can cause my heart rate to double in a split second!
I'm seriously more comfortable dealing with my rattlesnakes than I am with the Chilobrachys. (at least the adult Chilo's that I have)

Guest

Is that a baby? Looks small.Your rattlesnakes would make my heart rate jump. Spidery Stuff Icon_biggrin

Moderator Registration date : 2009-06-11

Yep, its about an inch and a half, and it is definately super quick! I'd love to add a few extra Chilobrachys to what I have, but that speed does catch your attention!
