X. immanis will always pretty much be expensive for one reason, supply is never enough for the demand... because, first even though this spider seems to have fair distribution in the wild, the originating countries do not permit commercial exports... second, captive reproduction is reputed to be extremely difficult, close to impossible... third, when eggsac is optained, clutches are small in numbers with big babies...
Funny thing is that the first time this spider was exported, people were seeing nothing more then another black boring animal... and adults sold for 10 to 15 USD... Yes!, now a female is pretty much priceless, people that have some will attempt selling them easily at 300 USD (I have seen some at 575 USD, LOL, that is pushing it...)
I have three females, possibly four... only one is mature though and I believe she is quite old... but what a monster she is!
My Xenesthis sp. "White" are Xenesthis sp. "White", I do not expect them to show any blue at any time of their lifes! Still, they have incredible legspan, seems more then X. immanis and X. intermedia, nice animal...

Do you guys like that one?
Not a Xenesthis spp., it is a Pamphobeteus spp.

LOL, thats precisely what I thought.....It is still being *argued* that they are X. sp. "blue" and I thought that somebody has to have specimens that are large enough by now to prove or disprove their ID by now!
And I thought X. immanis were leggy little buggers.....Lets see some pics of Xenesthis sp. "white" buddy!!!

Well, it is people who have purchased from the person that says they are the blue ones that need to prove the "theory" is right or wrong...
I know what mine are... but that does not prove the "other" ones are from the same batch as mine, but I really doubt the ones that are in question are the blue ones either, but that is only based on my logic... we shall see, it should prove to be very funny if we are right

And this is the proud mother of my children... I am sure the father would be equally proud, but he died doing the duty... mating with a fifth female... I guess he died happy...

hey, they all look like little pinktoes!
well, no...not really...the color is way off, but the boots are there! I just LOVE little black boots on a baby! It will be very interesting watching the color develop as they grow. I see the striped butt thing starts in infancy!
Oh, and Martin, see the one in the top left corner? The curious fella walking up to check out the camera? Can I buy THAT one?
hahahahahaha, have fun sorting out your beauties! I don't envy you the job of making sure EACH ONE gets fed and watered, though...that's a lot of little mouths to feed!
Take care
D.

Still a few extra that needs to molt... maybe 5 or 6, but I am not sure they will make it...

Wow Martin, you must have had a fun time seperating all those little guys! *LOL* Great set-up by the way. I dream of having a tarantula room like that someday.

Ah well, it is always fun to split the small buggers... I usually do it pretty early before they become insanely fast!

Oh my god! Tim, did I manage to resurrect you from the dead?
We have not seen you around in ages (unless I missed your posts)...
Seperating is very easy, you just need to be patient... I do it before they reach their full speed capacity... about 3 to 4 days after their 2nd instar molt... sometimes I seperate them when they are still embryos depending how I feel... that is even easier...
Take care
Martin
