My NEW male Spider!

Just got back from Repticon in Sarasota/Bradenton today and bought a male Spider!

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff and Debra from DZB Reptiles and talking with both of them for some time. I have to say, I was impressed with everything they had. Their setup was professional and very clean. The quality of their Balls was excellent. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy a BP!

Anyways! We all know this thread is worthless without pictures, so here he is!
He's very well tempered, not nippy one bit and he likes to explore. Strong too! He does have a -tiny- wobble, but that's a spider for ya. No corkscrewing atleast! Took a few pics before putting him in his new home in the other room for a week of quarantine.

Excuse the crappy lightning / off colors. I didn't want to stress the little guy out by making him wait for me to get all the proper photo stuff setup :D Will take pictures when it's feeding time in a week.

Sweet!

I like his pattern, congrats!

sweet spider! what do you mean by wobble and corkscrewing?

lucky you!
beautiful specimen there, i would like a spider, but i dont see one in my future for at least a year or two sadly.
great shots, and im assuming the record was kept from the breeder you got him from?
best wishes to you both, and look forward to the pics down the line of him getting older and larger and more beautiful!:taz:

Very nice looking spider!

Love the reduced pattern:)!!!!

Wobble and corkscrewing are something that all spiders display in varying degrees at some point in their life. It's not been proven to be genetic, but mostly anyone who knows a Spider knows what i'm talking about.

It's nothing that impairs them by any means and it's not a sickness, just a quirky, funny trait about Spiders in general!
