The Tengellidae picsHere is a set of pics I took today. Im just amazed at how large they each got after a molt.

| Pulk |
that's awesome! |
| Johnny |
Dude, im telling you man....these are awsome spiders. We will most likely get more and can get one or two for ya. |
| Pulk |
this is the penultimate/penpenultimate male I released
he was very fast... and the blue glint/sheen is great |
| What |
I would *love* a couple of these(or a pair if possible...). 
|
| Johnny |
Will do! |

Great spiders!
I've got a momma on eggs right now, can't wait for 'em to hatch! |
| Johnny |
Nhaver, how and where did you get her?

Local collecting; saticoy/santa Paula foothills. funny story actually... I was at a cram session for soul-stealing AP exams and someone dropped it onto someone else in the dark thinking it was a cricket  I saw it was more than that so I caught it and when I put it up to the light the "victim" and the "perp" were rather disturbed 
I'll post pics of her egg sac soon. |
| Johnny |
Thats a great story. So this person picked it up by hand or a cup? That's pretty messed up anyways even if it was a cricket.  Kind of stuff I used to do when I was a kid.
You mind taking a pic of it and posting it if you can?? |
| nhaverland |
hand, and yes, the pics of mom will come with the pics of her charge |
| Pulk |
i can't figure out how you handle them, johnny... these are absurdly fast 
|
| Johnny |
When it's cold and the larger ones are the calmest, forget about handling a juvie without the chance of losing it. It may be difficult for you to photograph them yourself at the same time. I just discovered a little feature of theirs that makes them more beautiful. I wont tell you cuz I want to photograph it myself

I got a pair of these mating on film. The quality is pretty low and it was at night. I was waiting for the male who survived to feed and then introduce him to another female in a better setup. I might just upload the one I got after I chop it down to a good lenght ""size"".
Hey Mr. What.....I still have yours if you want me to drop them off tomorrow on our way to S.D. Pulk,.... would you be interested in a Calisoga? One died on me yesterday. This was one that I found roaming and so far, the roaming ones that Francisco and I have found havent lasted. I have two left but dont know the sex of the smaller one. Maybe I'll take it tomorrow and have Francisco take a look at it. If it's a female and you want it then it's yours. |
| Pulk |
congrats on the mating
kevin is away on the TITTIES trip. calisoga: no thanks, i already have two. |
| Johnny |
Hey Pulk, how are these babies doing? ...still gotta post their low budget mating B-video. |
| Pulk |

good update...thanks |
| Johnny |
Hey "J", how are these coming along? Any of the slings make it? |
| Pulk |
Nope. Turns out they need food and water
But one of the adults is a MM... do you think it's worth trying to re-mate the female? Any chance she'll make another sac without it? |
