I picked up another beautiful spider today

I went back down to my tarantula guy to get some feeder roaches and worms while mine grow up and start reproducing again. Anywho, I can't pass up a good opportunity to buy a new spider, so I picked up a couple new bugs today. I got a freshly mature male p. machala that is absolutely beautiful. I also picked up a creobroter gemmatus. He's something that is easily handleable so I don't have to worry about anything but a cuteness overload lol

Congrats on your new additions I gather you got that MM machala to breed with?

Nah, just got him cuz he was so beautiful and he hooked me up. He had a few of the other "bloom" spiders but this one was by far the most attractive. Plus, the others were a little smaller so they didn't pop with vibrancy as much.

Thing is you might not have him too long as I'm sure you are aware that once matured as pretty as they are they generally don't live long, rarely eat if at all and just spend all there time looking for a female... It maybe worth your while advertising him so he can be bred from and you may get something in return rather than him going to waste if you get my meaning? I hope you don't take offence to my suggestion it's just what I would do if I had a MM like that

Yeah, i know he's not long for this earth. He knows a lot of tarantula people, one may ask him if they know any males of breeding age and he'll let me know. We have an agreement on the m balfouri i got from him if it turns out to be male.

Gorgeous! I wouldn't mind if mine were to be male either. As you know, the males of that species are the most stunning, while the females are a bit drab.

 

[Matt300ZXT]

He had a female that was quite a bit smaller and yeah, she wasn't a pretty spider at all.
