Tarantulas and Spiders

Haha nice. It's crazy how fast they can grab them sometimes. They are very hyper aware of what's around them.

My smaller OBTs have made some crazy homes.

They have tunnels going all around and a big canopy in the middle.

Thats sorta what my GBB is doing. She has a tunnel going like 2/3 of the way around the cup and its like halfway up.

Those pics are freakin' awesome! They put my bug pictures to shame. And everybody else's Ts are great too :)
I got my little Chaco golden knee fattened up and she closed up shop a few days ago and hasn't been making her nightly appearance. I got a Curly hair and B. boehmei at a show a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen the B. boehmei since the day I got her, and it doesn't look like the substrate she piled up in front of the hide has been moved.. but maybe she'll come out even prettier. The Curly hair molted over the weekend though. I think she's been out because the molt that she didn't want me to have has been moved around, but I haven't seen her out. I have said there aren't enough Ts until at least one is out at any given time, so the spider van needs to come through TN during your route.:P

Omg Rich...you should totally have a T van, much like an ice cream truck...paint it all blue, with cool pics of Ts airbrushed on it, and a sliding service window. You could play some creepy music too, and drive real slow so all the kiddies can catch you and come a-runnin lol. "Tigra", my P.irminia has been extremely active since I got her. Shes been out, and has had a voracious appetite. Im fortunate she built her little web tunnel in the corner of her clear cubicle, so even when shes "in" her little tunnel I can still see her, even though she probably thinks I cant. I love her. She is so amusing to watch! She has ritual "grooming sessions" like a cat where she just sits there and grooms herself. And she loves flingin dirt too.

Thanks!! :) I hope to get many more bug pics as summer gets closer. I'll add them here if no one minds.

Haha TN isn't too far. I need to work on some Ice cream music to play and some pics of the different spiders on the side. Spider sales on curb side only!!!

When I got my first Curly Hair, it was very small. I don't think I saw it for 2 months! It's like getting a new T all over again once they start coming out.

Get some pics when you can. :D

Haha you posted while I was typing :p

irminia are awesome! I would sit and watch mine work on her home. Then a few weeks later she would change it up a bit. Now she just goes in her hide but I know she's happy in there so I don't mind.

Pics? Oh...mine wont hold a candle to yours :P

Pics are pics. :D all are welcomed.

Just found a huge gravid female.

Wait till you see them in person. :)

I let her crawl around on me for a while. It was really cute when she would get to the end on my finger, she would put her feet up to feel around.

I have some P. irminia coming in next week :o

Aww thats too bad...i got one already :(

Lol to late! I've got 15 now not counting the 2 versicolors ill be getting soon. Might help if I quit buying 2 or 3 of everything lol.

Anyone know how to sex an Arizona blonde without a fresh molt? I was told that mine was a male but Idk how they could come to that conclusion without looking in the molt. It doesn't have mating hooks yet either.

Its possible it hasnt went through its final molt yet. And i read that a person whos seen hundreds of Ts and has lots of experience sexing could look at a decent sized specimen from underneath and tell. Personally, idk.

Would you happen to have a crystal clear photo of the epigastric furrow? It's the little open when you look at it underneath where the abdomen begins.

Just checked on my lil B.smithi before leaving for work, and i caught her just crawling outta her molt! I hope i didnt disturb her too much takin a quick second to capture this crappy cell phone pic:

Shes gorgeous! So much orange now! And she reminds me of a micro plush animal right now...so soft, fluffy, and new. :p

Not at the moment. I'm still at work for another 11 days but soon as I get home ill try and get some. I actually have 5 of them now. The one my wife bought me and was told was a female. Then the other 4 I picked up from someone that didn't want them anymore for what I thought was cheap. A T guy at a local show said he thought I had 2.2 that I had picked up that day. I traded a boa that I had priced at $85 for all four of them. So if 2 are females I'm happy with the deal and ill resell the 2 males and get some of my money back I hope.

I'd give it a couple days to be safe. I've fed my young T's just a couple days after a molt, but not the same day or next day, better safe than sorry. It seems like the older they get the longer they need to recover.

Sent from microwave via Tapatalk ll

Not sure how long ago she molted. She is good sized bigger than when I got her an she went into hiding ha. Ill drop a dead one in in the morning just has small belly. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/09/ynazysu9.jpg

Yeah my B.smithi looks like shes almost doubled in size. Her abdomen looks so shriveled and empty...:( i hope to feed her in about a week.

I'm not too knowledge on roach-feeding to T's but I'm not sure if it's safe for slings. I know certain roaches(hissers/dubias?) should only be fed to large T's since their fangs are strong enough to pierce the exoskeleton and any smaller T's could damage their fangs. As for feeding, You should try and see if their fangs are completely black before attempting to feed. For slings that usually takes about 5-7 maybe 10 days. Any sooner and they could still be soft and you risk damaging their fangs.

Ya rich said to grab smallest roach for the lil one. She took one earlier no problem then went into hiding to molt. Ive been putting dead ones since shes so little. In a few days ill try an feed since first time seeing her in weeks ha

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

Mine have all been taking roaches fine. Maybe they're super spiders lol. Even the little house spider i caught ate 2 of them, and his fangs are really tiny.

Wheres Rich been to chime in??? Im sure hes been too busy having fun playing with his baby versicolors lol

I have been passed out all weekend trying to catch up on sleep :o

I missed a lot :p
Congrats on all the new molts.

carlson. If she is out and about I'm betting she is ready for a meal. Give her a dead one and she if she takes it. The smaller they are the quick they harden back up.
