    What a weekend! Did the Columbus Ohio show Saturday and did pretty good. Did Richmond Indiana today and spent most of my profits from Saturday today on spiders. They wife spent the rest on scorpions lol. We just got home so still a lot of work to do getting everybody put away but ill get pics posted for you all tomorrow!

    Rich: I ended up with that versicolor female I asked you about..... And its gone already. I got offered a trade I couldn't turn down for it. It was missing a leg which I didn't notice until after it was in my possession. I ended trading a baby boa that I produced for the damaged female versi. Then got offered a 1" versi, a 2" female skeleton, and 2.) 1/2 inch giant white knee slings for that 2.5" versi female.

    Haha that didn't take long.
    Lets see the skeleton! And Giant White knees are pretty cool.

    I fed almost everyone tonight, took forever. That male irminia went nuts for a dubia.

    Lmao! If you thought irminia are fast try a skeleton! It made it from the reptile room to the kitchen before I could get a cup over it! That's about 45 feet with me chasing it with a cup. It may be a few before I can get a pic of it.

    I'm surprised he had the stamina for that. That's a long distance

    heres the pics I could get

    5 inch female Brachypelma albopilosum
    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...psc5cd4dfb.jpg

    1" A. versicolor
    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...ps848c1165.jpg

    I got 2 of these 1.5 inch Avicularia laeta
    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...psa632bc9a.jpg

    I ended up with a total of 3 of these .75 inch Stromatopelma calceatum
    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...psc0e2205c.jpg

    I also grabbed 3 of these .5 inch Acanthoscurria geniculata
    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...psc10f8cfe.jpg

    and the speed demon! Ephebopus murinus
    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3f139c95.jpg

    I really think those guys are a fair match in speed for the obt. which I couldnt get a pic of but some how I ended up with a 1.5 inch obt also.

    Haha no kidding.

    This little guy hung out with me for a while today. I'm guessing maybe a mature male that's getting weak. He is really skinny.

    Watch out for the S. calceatum. I won't even keep these yet.

    I have been wanting some Skeletons for a while now. Very cool!

    Yeah they are quick even at this size and I read some bite reports on them. I may pass them on to someone with more experience. Just depends on how comfortable I am vs how quick they size up.
