Avicularia spp.

[Tarcan]

Since most of the people generally prefer Avics, I decided to post a few pictures of less common Avicularia spp.

I hope you like them.

The first is A. huriana, my personnal fevourite. Those get pretty big not to say huge by Avic standards.

Their most amazing caracteristic is that they are huge
super-fuzzballs!

Here is a picture of my immature male.

Enjoy

Here is one of my A. urticans females. A less colourfull species, but truly beautiful anyway:

I love Avics...I own an Avicularia Avicularia...you have a very nice Avic. :)

[Tarcan]

And now a female A. minatrix.

A very small Avicularis spp. from Venezuela. Very nice reddish colouration on the abdomen. Actually the only avic that keeps it's "tiger" pattern as it grows... a beautiful little gem...


This picture is not the best, but it is the only one I have for the moment.

[Tarcan]

yes, A. avicularia is a very popular spider. With good reason, very beautiful and easy to care for. I hope to see a pic of yours if you ever have time to post one. Actually, it would be nice if everyone could post their avic pictures here! I will try to take more form my other species.

Nice!

I like the Versicolour. :D

[Tarcan]

Indeed, I will try to get a decent pic of A. versicolor.

That's what we want to see!

Thanks Red Dragon, it looks great!

[Emily-Fisher]

Ooh... I LOVE A. Urticans but after seeing these pics, I must say that the A. Minatrix are super gorgeous too. Wow, lucky you to own such gorgeous animals!

I like that Minatrix, Martin! Very nice!

Here's a picture of my breeding pair of Avicularia avicularia

Hey Robert, for all those of us just learning to sex T's, that would be the female on the left, and the male on the right? Is that correct?
Nice Pic, thanks much.

[arachnomania]

That's right Brian. How's my male blondi doing? Success?

[Tarcan]

Here is a giant undescribed species of Avicularia from Peru...

[Tarcan]

This is one of my females A. braunshauseni... this species can reach a spectacular 20cm legspan... I guess that is why they call it the Giant Pinktoe...

[Tarcan]

As promised, a little female A. versicolor...

[reptile boi]

Thanks,
Ben

Ben,
The picture I posted on this thread is actually my female and YOUR male. My female shed a couple weeks ago so next time (2-3 weeks) I go go to Ottawa I'll bring him over to ya. Thanks again for the 50/50.

[TheRedDragon]

Is the temperment in all the Avics about the same? I didn't realize there was so much variation with this one particular sub species, I want them all! (Not if Invictus could help it though :( ) ;)

Hi Red Dragon,

Some Avicularia spp. have very different behaviors...

Take for exemple A. laeta (from Porto Rico), it is a quite agressive animal. Actually, a lot of them I do not fully trust for handling like A. urticans and A. huriana to name a few.

For the moment, all the picture I have shared belong to different species of the genus Avicularia, not sub-species... I say for the moment because some taxonomists argue that some of those species are only regional variants of A. avicularia (like A. bicegoi and A. braunshauseni for exemple). So in the future, we may see some species become synonymised...

I hope this helps

Time to post some new stuff, can you tell I am bored tonight!LOL

Here is a female A. geroldi...

Nice blue... pretty little spider

Love them huriana's man. Hey, anyone gotta pic of a A. metallica??

Can't post a pic now cos I think my A. avic is in premolt (again!). Once she's done, maybe. :)
