The most uncooperative boy of all time matured recently and look at that little mushroom b***y! I got him and what I think is a female Eresus moravicus, in a trade last year. Pretty sure he's an Eresus walckenaeri though, based on those legs and their lack of color.

By the way, I was talking about wanting to pair my female walckenaeri at some point but totally forgot that they basically liquify their organs to feed their young. So now I'm definitely conflicted. With females living something like eight years though, I'm definitely in no rush. This male on the other hand...

If you've ever found yourself in this position, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Or at least a freeze frame where you get to narrate to the viewer and bet that they're probably wondering how you got here.

Phidippus otiosus btw. The male is the one I posted recently from the mom, "Rhymes with Orange". He doesn't know how to dance. I had to scoot the female ALL the way across the dance floor.

I got to experience a pretty cool pairing today between one of my orange ladies and an orange-line (Vigilante) male from Super Spood Jumpers.

It was kind of funny because the female kept walking around while the male was doing his thing. She ended up getting annoyed and bucking him off after fifteen minutes, dropping her snack in the process. Was pretty cute how she grabbed it when I handed it back to her to finish.

Sometimes when keeping newer-to-me species, it can be hard to tell if females are mature or not. Like this Phidippus Arizonensis from Web Puppy Lodge, I could see a tan-colored epigynum, but it was a bit too smooth looking and I was expecting a darker color. Turns out my hunch was correct and she needed one more molt to mature.

While these more arid species won't get quite as large in size as Regals, I do think that they have much more beautiful abdomen patterns. This species in particular also seems to have quite a bit variability in what color they will be - like tan, brown, yellow, red, and orange.

Ruby is one of my upcoming Regal moms, so I owed it to her to get some updated photos. I've posted about her before, you can even see her being paired in a recent video.

Her abdomen is a night sky, with tiny flecks of light illuminating the otherwise deep void. When choosing a male for her, I made sure to pick one that similarly exhibited these traits. Most people see males as identical, other than their chels, but if you pay close attention, you'll notice that each one has unique abdomen patterning.

Woah, we're already a week into October. Okay, for spooky season I got something special.

This is my Eresus walckenaeri Velvet Spider that I've been raising now for over a year. When I originally got her, she was the size of an i3 Regal, just ridiculously tiny. Took her forever to grow but then out of nowhere she started tripling in size.

She's pretty special to me. I used to give her q-tips of water because I was concerned with the low humidity requirements that she'd get thirsty. Now she will pop her head out whenever I open her crib, expecting food. It's really interesting watching how they grab their food and yank it towards them, versus the style of hunting that jumpers do.
