Haplopelma lividum

My new (as you see by the lack of web in the tank) H. lividum. The speed at which she takes the cricket is just astounding.

you nailed it xD supperb timing of action and sound, but i have a question for you, what substrate are you using :) thanks in advance

[thunderthief]

Thanks alot. The substrate i was using there was Coir, keep really moist.

i need help :/ iv had my cobalt blue fore like 2 months or so now n it wont web or nythin, i keep the tank humid n it has deep substrate but she wont dig either, i made a retreat in the corner if the tank for her and she spends most of the time in there but there very little webbing. im going to re-arang it abit put more stuff in there fore her to hid in or under but other than that i dunno wat to do reli.

can any1 give me some pointers?

[thunderthief]

Have you tried starting a burrow? Just make the starter of a hole, id be suprised if she didnt carry it on then.

really gorgeous spider, i like her digged holes and the speedattacks you can watch whenever she's hungry.

I like how the music is synchronized to the spider's attack

Ha ha, awesome video man! I wanted a Hapopelma, but as a first time T owner, I wanted something that I could handle, though I don't handle it often, so I went with the all-safe and beautiful (though not as luminescent) brachypelma smithi. Nice video, thanks for sharing :D

[Herpephile1997]

nice, that thing moves at amazing speed, one milli- second it's there... the next it's gone! :)
