A thread for posting pics of any spiders you have that are fairly uncommon in the hobby or are a bit odd.

Here is a few for starters -

Thats a nice robustum. I never got to see either of the 2 I had swing there legs about although they did kick lots of hair on the odd occasion they came out of their hides.

Ornithoctoninae sp. Malaysia also known in the pet trade as Haplopelma robustum and what used to be known as Lampropelma violaceopes before Cyriopagopus sp. blue was found to be the real violaceopes (even though it isn't actually a Lampropelma at all).

Ornithoctoninae sp. Borneo (orange fringe) which may well be the real Haplopelma doriae (I predict a return of Melopoeus if this is the case).

Harpactirella sp. Y so far undescribed but no doubt will have a proper name when Richard Gallon's revision of Harpactirinae comes out.
