Tarantulas and Spiders

Thanks for sharing!
That one next to the dime looks like a crab spider. And look at those glowing eyes!

I have one OBT at home thats around 2" now. The webbing is amazing. I'll get some pics of it and the new ones.

I catch and release most of them but keep a few each year. When my females lay sacs, I'll keep them until the babies are ready to leave the mom.

I tried to do mantids this year but turned out to be a disaster.

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!

This is one of her larger male death head roaches. Only pic I have right now http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i1...s/IMAG1065.jpg

Man that thing is huge!
Roaches used to gross me out but I really enjoy raising them.

6 new OBTs

Flipped open a lid to take a look, he ran out and under the top of the desk.

Those things sure put the webs out!

She has made a round tunnel around the top. It's super thick and she can get from one side to the other in no time. :p

Found some cool little jars called Lock-Ups. They interlock and stack. Transferred the OBTs into them.

Hobby Lobby.
They had a few different sizes.
