New Tarantulas! Semi-large pics

Hey y'all. I've recently been getting more tarantula sp lately and wanted to share just what all I've gotten.

L. parahybana sling. It's about 1/3"


B. albopilosum female. She's a little over an inch. I set her up like I set up Aphonopelma. She's in a half gallon jar with about 4-5" of substrate. She's already burrowed about 4-5" down and to the side.


B. albopilosum sling. It's about a 1/3"


And last but not least, Cyclosternum pentalore. I was told that most, if not all, C. fasciatum in the hobby are actually C. pentalore. And I trust the sources This little girl is a crazy webber lol. She's already made small tunnels under the leaves in her jar.



New tarantulas and new pics soon

I'd like to mention that I got all of these from _bob_ on AB. He's a great guy and made sure the C. pentalore I paid for and the freebie albopilosum were both female.

Awesome pictures.. mind if i ask what camera / lenses ya using?

Thanks!
I recently got a new Olympus SP-570UZ with its stock/standard lense. It isn't a DSLR but rather an extra fancy point-and-shoot haha. It has some crazy zoom too at 20x optical.

our B albo is looking lovely. had a good few moults since we had her! she is getting so much bigger, double the size when we first got her!

That's great! I hope mine grows pretty quickly

I love Brachys and Aphonopelma. I especially love setting them up in a set up where they can make more natural burrows.

Sweet additions, Jared!

cool T's. i love the array of colours you get with T's

Sweet new T's
I have both the fasciatum and pentalore.
I noticed that the pentalore has/had a blueish sheen on her legs and the fasciatum didnt as slings.

I'm curious as to where you got both sp.

i have always love keeping B. vagans and albop.

Canth, i too love the Brachy and Aphonopelma genus. I love them in that order.

Awesome additions! The only T I have is a B. Albo and she/he is pretty damn cool

My first fasciatum came from Tabbie (ATS) second one i just received a couple of weeks ago from a guy on A/B. The pentalore i got from Anette (ATS). both Tabbie and Anette usually get most of there T's from Chris (crazy8's) and i will trust what he says they are, my most recent one was labled fasciatum so im calling it that until I learn differently.

Do you have any documents that show/tell the differences on them?

Depending on what you think of Ray Gabriel, I can link you to his posts on the-t-store.co.uk.
http://www.the-t-store.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=12641&hl=fasciata

Through that thread he says what he knows about the 2 Cyclosternum species.

Cool spiders Jared! Congrats!

Thanks Canth, Now im just as confused.....

Lol. Well, I'm going to continue calling mine C. pentalore. Ray seemed pretty dang positive on what's in the hobby right now.

Canth here is a difference that I've observed in pics and with my own specimans.
First here is my "pentalore" look at the spinnerettes they are an orange color;


And here is the one labled "fasciatum" both of my specimans labled this have dark spinnerettes;

That is definitely strange...and I don't know what to tell you. Maybe join and post on the t store?
