No, a "friend" dumped them on me :mad: He has a habit of doing this, normally with species I don't even like :p Which means I have to try and get shot of the damn things.....

Such matters are best kept to email as technically I'd be selling outside Members Market! :p

Yes, they do look basically like that, the adult females get redder and redder with age, they are almost rust colour just before they moult out and become black/brown again.
 
Skooter, mail me your address!

Just thought I'd share some festive copulation with you ;-)

Haplopelma minax - not many true one's in the hobby!
Anyone else get Christmas T's?

Did he make it through the affair alright? ;)

I saw one of those Minax's in the flesh once, and they are pretty mean.

Nope, they are his palpal emboli, you only see them on mature males - his rogering gear ;)

Your favourite! Mugabe moulted last week and has turned out to be a big and beautiful female. Managed to catch most of the moulting process on camera:

When she's started taking food again, there's a male on the way for her. So hopefully we'll have baby Usambara's next year!

If you still want a cast skin , just let me know.

Will pop it in the post tomorrow if I get the chance - be warned they are VERY VERY fragile and will crumble unless you handle them with extreme care.
