Salmon Pink & California Ebony

Salmon Pink & California Ebony

Miss Tina Lee, the Lasiodora parahybana, or Salmon Pink Bird-eater, was very receptive to her courting male. After a few minutes of drumming to one another (the spider equivalent to wine and dinner), the pair joined in what we hope will result in the production of a lovely egg sac. After the date he made a remarkable get away.

We hope Tina Lee is happy in her new planted home, one of our XL Adult Enclosures which will be available for Black Friday.

Jon was able to pair the Aphonopelma eutylenum - also known as the California ebony tarantula. These California native species seem to be hard to come by. I love their velvet black appearance and often laid back personality. I have heard the Cali Ebony referred to as the "Poor Mans Brazilian Black" I'd have to agree. I hope we get some babies from this very under-appreciated species!
