    Re: Some of our spiders

    While I can definitely appreciate the beauty of spiders, they still creep me out! I wish I could get over my phobia.

    Really nice looking spiders!!!

    Oh boy... I was expecting to see spider morph ball pythons when I opened this up...

    Highly disturbing post for someone with arachnophobia! Spiders are the only thing I fear..

    Much respect to you though. I am sure they are fascinating creatures.

    They should look fairly similar. The B. vagans typically have a few longer red setae on the legs and a dark prosoma compared to the jet black legs and tan prosoma on the B. albiceps. Very similar in size, build, and behavior.

    It was mating then decided to book it afterward. While I was cupping the other one, this one stopped on the toilet paper. Figured that was as good a time as any for some shots. It wasn't too difficult to get it back in.

    Very Nice Collection

    The Cyriocosmus elegans (adult male) stay small. How big do the females get?

    I want to pick up a few T's later on this year.

    For some reason when i clicked on the thread i was expecting spider ball pythons not actual spiders,so it caught me with a bit of a surprise lol.
    Why? Why do humans always look to the sky? Why do you try so hard to fly when you don't have any wings? We'll run on our own legs. - Kiba "Wolf's rain"
