This years breeders

This is an exciting time of year for me when the planning begins for the seasons breeding efforts. I am hoping to get some young this year from some pairings. Planned pairings are:

Phlogius crassipes "Kuttabul" form
Phlogius sp. "Sarina"
Phlogius crassipes "Eunice"
Phlogius sp. "hirsutus"

The last species is of particular interest to me as it was only discovered by noted amateur arachnologist, Steve Nunn recently (December 2008). Below is a shot of one of these beauties taken by Steve.
