i hope! I got a 15 gallon set up the throw the roaches in next to my hissers. Their taking forever to lay babies btw. An the t home is on my tv stand just chilling was gonna go find some interior stuff but it snowed here again

I don't know much about hissers.
dubia can take 4-6 weeks to lay. Maybe a bit longer after a move.

Seem like mine took forever before they started going...... Then they exploded :p

I worked on them this weekend. The roach rack is 5' tall now :o
Haven't heard back from the pet store if they want to stock them or not :/


@mike - no rush.

That's alot of roaches lol if they start to explode like that ill have to start selling to people. Working on getting a couple around here with a big snake collection to start buying rats from me would be about a hundred rats a month

You can control their numbers if you really wanted too (I don't) haha.

My frog and toads are waking up so they'll be eating a bunch soon.

Oh and a Nhandu chromatus and a P murinus and... oh Hell, I just want all of them lol.

Ha it looks like you live in dorms

Lol nope, just a smallish bedroom with a lotta stuff.

Very nice collection Coleslaw :)

Here are a few updates from tonight.

L. parahybana, won't be this size for long.

One of my bigger ones, less than a year.

B. albopilosum
He ran up my arm and into my shirt :o

Couple fresh out of molt.

C. fasciatum
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/09/e9asa5a2.jpg

B. smithi YAY!!
Going to try and sex this molt.

This girl needs to molt.
G. pulchra
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/09/davy5eve.jpg

Idk why but I like the looks of those b. smithi! How big do those guys get? I'm kinda looking around at a second to help eat the roaches lol probably few months after I get the Rosie ill be looking for number two lol

Love the pic of the pulchra sling. Mine just molted the 27th of last month. :))
Avicularia Braunshauseni, brachypelma vagans and my G. Pulchra are the three T's I currently own. G pulchra are typically very docile as it pertains to T's but mines a little grump. He attacked his paint brush twice before it even touched his back leg recently. My 8 leg yoda's may have gone to the dark side!!! :p
I too love the b smithis! Such a beautiful and iconic tarantula.

B. smithi completes collections.
I'm pretty sure they get around 6-7" range. Grow slow, not as slow as G. rosea. Long lived. Would make a great addition carlson.

My G. pulchra is the same. I have not "held" it yet. I'm sure they calm down a bit once they get some size. Plus mine is so plumb, I'm scared she will get hurt if she fell.

K ill have to look around and do a little pricing on one ;) haha my poor mom will never come over

They can be a bit pricy.

You can also check out.

B. boehmei - Fireleg

B. auratum - Flame knee

I think B. boehmie and B. emilia are nicer looking than B. smithi's.

Just personal preference :p

I'll take all 3 please.

Lol i was talking to nicole and saying i already have a "wants" list going and I'm only at 1 T right now lol.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/09/majavu6a.jpg

Some pokies and an OBT will be added once i get more comfortable with them. I LOVE P. regalis and P. metallica's. :D

I have one on my list but I'm still iffy about it.
H. maculata,

I think I should go with a Pokie first. My list is ever growing.

Wolf spiders are all over the place today.

:)

They don't bite you? Every time I have a random spider on me it's biting me. I mean like wolf spiders or ones i find outside

I'm a spider whisperer :p
Joking

I have been tagged once but it was going nuts. My fault, I shouldn't have picked it up.
I lost a bunch of pics when I updated my phone :/

Yeah those ones, my worst memory as a child is a wolf spider bout that sized latched onto my leg. Not to mention brown recluse (still can't spell it) bites Ive had few of those

What Ts are you breeding right now btw? If you are that is ha was hoping you are an by time they ready to be sold I'm ready for numba 2

I don't have any breeding pairs right now. That's one of my goals.
I have been buying extra babies to see if I could move them before I had sac with a couple hundred babies to care for. Hell the LPs can have 1000 babies.

But I hope to have some projects going soon.

If I ever bred T's i'd keep them all together for a couple molts and let them weed out the weak ones themselves with cannibalism. I'd feed off other babies to adult T's too instead of just culling them. No way i'd be raising and trying to sell 500-1,000 babies lol.

Ha wow didn't expect that many babies.

How are golden knees for a second? I love how they look an black an gold is my old highschool colors lol

They are great for a first so would be fine for a 2nd.
You would keep them pretty much the same as your G. rosea. They grow way quicker. Always out after they get a little size.

These are about the same age, give or take a few months.
