Tarantulas and Spiders

I had one girl for over 20 years before she passed away. Over the past year I have really got back into them. Even raise my own roaches for feeders :p

I have also kept Wolf spiders, jumpers and Widows (only males, never found a female)

Anyone else into these 8 legged creatures?

Very cool! I have pictures of an Aphonpelma hentzi sling that I used to have (wife killed it last time I deployed to Iraq) but I don't have access to the pictures right now. Great photos and I love spiders! I have saved I don't know how many camel spiders, wolf spiders and orb weavers from other soldiers so far on this tour. Always catch and release for me!

I knew there had to be a few spider people here, ill get some more pics up.

Now the camel spiders might freak me out a bit. Thank you for your service !!

Avics are really cool. I wish mine turned out to be a female. That's a cool little jar too.

I'm picking up 6 more OBTs today :)

My wife is the bug person in our house. She has had 2 male rose hairs for a couple years. She just got a Fringed Ornate sling and an OBT sling a couple of weeks ago. She also has several species of roaches she is quite proud of. Of course the dubias for feeders, death heads, orange heads, six spots and a couple others. She also has some beetles she calls blue death feigning beetles. When they get scared they "die" for a few minutes. Only problem is, she has them so tame they won't "die" anymore!
