    Time for some invert updates. (DUW)
    I haven't posted in a while, so I figured I'd give you all an update on the collection. I haven't added anything to the snakes, so it's just going to be my arachnids for today :)

    A couple new pics for you.
    The new female Red Claw scorpion (Pandinus cavimanus):

    and a feeding pic and a clearer patter shot of the Poecilotheria regalis:

    My Xenesthis immanis molted, and is finally starting to get the adult coloration and carapace pattern:

    Those molting pics are great! You've got an awesome collection. I'd love to see more pics of your Xenesthis immanis if you have any. :D

    Thanks, babyknees! :D I don't have any recent pics of the immanis yet, but I'll definitely be posting some more pics as I get the chance to photograph him in his new suit! :)

    I am a tad bit afraid of scorpions (though I used to be TERRIFIED) so that first pic didn't really make me smile. LOL But the tarantulas! I love them! P. regalis is my fav. I ALMOST got one but since I live at home with my parents my parents didn't want that type of T in their house. =( So I got a GBB instead. =P

    Haha, scorps used to freak me out a bit too, but I decided that I'd had enough of being firghtened of them and got a couple :P they don't bother me anymore.

    I love P. regalis, I find they're easier to predict that most pokies in my limited pokie experience. I know where you're coming from lol, I didn't really tell my parents about it before I got it... :oops:

    Nice pics, you have some good looking 'bugs'.... :D

    How is your A. geniculata to work with, every handle her? Mine is just a little sling right now, eats like a pig though....looking forward to him/her gaining some size.

    Thanks! And my genic is a mean girl, most of them tend to be flighty and defensive. She's a big hair kicker too, so no I don't handle her. I got my girl big ,but it's super fun to watch them grow. Enjoy!
