pamphobeteus sp chicken spider

[IamKrush]

I've heard this spider mentioned in a few known youtube hobbists videos. Has anyone on here seen one or own one? Here's a video of what I'm talking about and a photo I found off the interwebs.

Very elusive T, seems almost mythical lol!

Probably not cheap if one is found.

I wouldn't imagine so, pamphs generally command a high price Awesome genus though!!

I just found this little clip of a wild specimen

 

[IamKrush]

Haha yep, they're defo big buggers

Indeed. Id love to be able to see one in person someday

I've been looking for these too pamphobeteus sp arana pollito I think only a couple of guys from the UK have them at the moment I just missed out on some slings gonna look at the bts when I go in may. I think slings are going for 70 80 quid maybe more I'm not entirely sure they say these are also pure communal as when they were found there were 40 odd all different sizes

Communal?! A communal Pamphobeteus species? That would be fantastic..

Yep and they are meant to be as communal as the m balfouri mum's feed the young and as you can see on that video they seem to get along OK and they are a good size imagine giant communal spiders like these
