Tarantulas and Spiders

Yeah some people have widows but I would like to find them. True spiders are so fragile and short lived, I would hate to risk it.
I do want some trap door spiders.

Trap door spiders would be awesome to have.

There were some at the last show I went to. They are so cool looking, I wish they were out more. You get to see them for .5 seconds every feeding :p

Ive had a widow before. We found it in lower DE. Neat keeping it.

I have had 3 males but they didn't last long. :(

I had a female for about 3 months.

awesome pics! I cant wait until my itty bitty chacos wanna come out instead of playing hide and seek.

It won't be long, give them a few months. Once mine got some size, she has always been out in the open.

Haha I feel you there! Have yours closed themselves into a hide too

Yep all three of them have burrowed in and closed the door behind them. Lol every now and then I catch a glimpse of one if I check on them just before I goto bed.

Means they are happy :)

So we moved all the animals to one big room...besides Pinky in a larger separate terrarium, this is my meager arachnid collection...

I might start a botfly colony on my arm to feed my spiders.

And then you could be on an Animal planet special!

Haha true. :p

Now THAT'S dedication.

Those pics are awesome! You take such fantabulous pics Rich!! Now that makes me want to upgrade my own camera....

Thank you! :o
If you want to upgrade, invest in good lenses. Camera bodies become outdated in a couple of years but a good lens will last forever.

I'll keep taking pics if I know you guys enjoy them :)

So the trick would be to get a year or two year old camera body and then buy a new lens?

I had a nice camera now my parents do since I hit a bad spot with money for a min. I think my favorite types of pics are still from the old 35mm slr cameras, I really like black an white tho. For animal pics digital all way tho

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah if you can find a trusted used camera body, I would go that route.

But that's just me :p

Just a heads up. I'm picking up 12 versi this week. Nothing is for sure until they are in my hand but PM me if you want 1 or 5 :p

Gotta get everyone posting here to get one so we can compare notes as they age! Haha besides who doesn't wanna order from Rich

I love telling people about my animals! Ask anytime. I got 3 chaco's from Rich. 2 of them are dug in and I rarely see them but the 3rd has a trench dug 3/4 of the way around its jar and it thinks its hiding. Lol

Haha. I have a couple of vagans that have "fox holes" they think I can't see them with their but up in the air :D

The versi should all be around this size.
Give or take. .75" 3/4"

Thats exactly what my girl did lol. I went to feed her today and i dropped in the roach and she nailed it so fast i didn't see it and then retreated into her burrow. I was tryna poke through the leaves up on top to find the roach. I was so confused as to how it burrowed so fast. So i get out another one and i drop it right into her burrow and look through the side of the jar so i can see her. I see her put down the 1st roach which must have been about dead already and nail the second one i dropped in haha. I was like "ohhhh, thats where the first one went lol". She was FAST and did a good job of running away with it hidden under her body. Well, looks like she got doubles today lol
