I'm by far no expert but those are what I've always been told they are. We have them all over PA and Ohio.

If i saw a brown recluse near my house i would kill it. I don't need one of them biting someone in my family or my dog. I love all animals but theres exceptions to every rule. ;)

Idk...maybe its just me, but it doesnt look quite like any of those pics on the link or google. But im also no expert either lol..However, i did also see plenty of pics of recluse bites....just total eew. Those lil guys are nothin nice.

I suck at IDing. But it doesn't look like a Wolf or Fishing spider.
From what I was reading, most of those photos of recluse bites are false. That many of them never saw a spider, started as a cut etc.
Who knows?

Who knows? Nobody, i think :p

My vagans is in a cup i bought off a supply website. Theyre like 4 or 5 inches in circumference and like 3 or 4 inches tall.

My p.metallica is starting to web up his little enclosure.

He's positioned himself under a leaf, with webbing all around :3

Excuse the crappy cell pics, but here's updated pics on my little collection.

Lars (P. metallica) is finally being his adult colors after his last molt! And he's scarier than ever. And smart, he knows to come to the top and wait for food if I start loosening the lid.

Thanks! I love him even though he scares me. I'm not totally sure on his (or her) age, but he's about 3.5 inches from back "foot" to front and I've had him since October. Here's when I first bought him from Ken the Bug Guy. I'd say he was like was around a half inch. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/13/yru8e3aj.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/13/pujugabe.jpg

Thanks, I love my T's. I even enjoy raising their roaches, they remind me of tiny cattle.

A) I love p. Mets their color is awesome so I like yours a ton.
B) calling roaches tiny cattle is the best way I've heard of describing raising them.

Mines still super tiny. Can't wait till he gets his adult colors

What size do they color up?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

Mine just started to really show some colors, he's around 3.5 inches. You only really see it well with a direct light on him, he still doesn't fully have his colors yet. I can't wait for his next molt.

Mine love the tiny mealworms too, Lars is especially fun to give them to, I just poke one through one of the air holes and runs over and pulls it through the rest of the way and noms on it.

You're welcome :D

C. cyaneopubescens, or green bottle blue. They're GORGEOUS adults as well, he's still a sling. I think they're some of the coolest looking slings.

Edit: not my image but here's an adult GBB http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2069/mmgbb.jpg

Lmao! I'm a Dee dah Dee. Never seen a gbb sling and I've only been looking onto Ts for about 2 months now so didn't know the scientific name for them. I've been drooling over the gbb adults I've seen since the addiction kicked in but I really want a gbb sling now lol

I love my gbb :gj:

Btw folks that pic I posted the other day was definitely a recluse. We've found 15-20 more of them on location and someone reported them as a biological hazard so they called an exterminator. :( he sprayed the whole location and he identified them soon as he spotted one.

If the recluse bites are as bad as ive seen, tho skulls said they may be exaggerated, i would consider them a hazard too lol.

Thing is they really aren't very bitey. Unless provoked. If you poke at them or accidentally grab it its more likely to run away or just walk over you. I had one cralw across my hand last night. I just waited until it walked off the other side then put it on a sheet of paper and relocated it to the grass out of harm's way.

That sucks that they came in and sprayed.
