So when they say that obt's teleport, they aren't lying. The T trifecta lol:

OBT. Very fast, very mean.

The irminia was spazzy like my boehmei. Not really aggressive, just a spaz. She'll prolly calm down as she gets older. She sorta looks like my GBB right now.

My favorite, the versi. I had no choice but to hold him. He meandered his way out of the vial right onto my hand. I love his colors too. I already have a feeling that i'll probably be getting another avic, he's so cool.

Awesomeness! Glad you got everyone into their homes!

The obt was by far the most difficult lol

That versi is just gorgeous.

Seriously, consider getting one kodie. You already have worms for your lizards, wouldn't be any extra work lol.

Literally just said the same thing to Lindsey. Showed her a picture of like 30 slings and she said that's gotta be the most lucrative thing ever. Then I showed her prices from 2011 and they were 20 for a sling.

So tempted.

Get one! Even if you don't like it once it gets big, a mature male or female are usually in demand. I plan to raise up the ones i have to adulthood and then sell them as mature females or males. Sell them/trade them to breeders for other species i wanna keep. Mature males don't live nearly as long so i don't plan to hold on to any of them. If i have any mature females and i enjoy
keeping them then i'll keep them for awhile since they live longer. I don't plan to breed though.

Hey glad they are all ok :)

OBTs are fun :p
Wait until it starts webbing an making tunnels. 90% of the time they will retreat. Rehoming makes me sweat :p

The irminia will always be somewhat of a spaz. They are very very quick.

Once i have to rehome i plan to do it in the bathtub. Even more of a wide open space. :)

Yea, spazzy but so cool looking :)

How much are the A. Versi?

I just don't know if Lindsey would go for it. At least she can't complain about this one not being fuzzy. ;)

not so much the cost of the A. Versi or enclosure but really its the cost of the case of displays and the other slings to fill them! I started looking at T's about 2.5 months ago and i now have 5 adults and 10 slings i think. i'd have to go count lol. I'm distracted so it may be a while before I get back with the actual number.

and since I was setting up my new A. versi's heres a couple pics of the guys that were out and about.

Brazilian Red

http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/...psa241f32a.jpg

one of the AZ Blondes

http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/...psae1e739f.jpg

Yea! one of my chacos came out to play!

http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/...ps583e2f52.jpg
yep still adorable!

and one of the indian ornamentals in fresh skin! it molted while i was at work. seems like it grew half an inch after a molt.

http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/...psa5de217a.jpg

crap got side tracked and forgot to count how many T's im up to now. BRB

ha! I made it without distraction this time. 13 slings all from .25-1" now and suspected 2.3 az blonde adults and as soon as its confirmed i'll keep 1 of the girls and trade or sell the 2.2 for others that I want!

HoFR you got a nice collection going! Haha 2.5 months an 13 ts :)

You're welcome Sir!

Glad everyone's Ts made it!
We will have to compare notes and see if they stay on schedule with molts.

Kodie if you have any questions just let me know. I'm holding one for carlson and ill let one more go at this price if you want one.

Mike, did the dubia make it? And let me know how that chow does for you.

Thanks again everyone!! :)

They were fine. One small roach snuck in too haha. I scooped some in last nite, i'll look and see if they ate it when i got home. :gj:

Haha yeah that little one was on others back. :p

That chow is packed full of yummy stuff, proteins and full of vitamins. My roaches eat better than I do :o

Do you make the roach chow yourself Rich? And whats it made out of ? Btw, im naming mine "Azure", which could be fine for a male or female. I also named my false widow "Oyl". Whether i have two or twenty, i like to name all my creatures :)

Your little chaca is adorable! I want one of those.


sent from my incubator

Sure do.
Protein powders, dried peas, unseasoned bread crumbs, fish foods, mazuri turtle food, whole grain oats, unmediated chick feed. That's off the top of my head. I know I'm forgetting a few things.
I have had dubia choose the dry chow over fresh veggies and fruits.

All my creatures have names too :)
I don't name them until I know I'm going to hold them back for sure.

damn Rich! You should market that stuff fo'shizzle!

This is "Oyl", she immediately started webbing up her new home after the transfer and eats great for a wild spider:

http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/...psf38f5958.jpg

She still seems so lost in all that space....:( Has not even made a single strand of web. Probably needs some time. Now I know how Pinky felt....he didn't start webbing for a whole week!

I would have to price it all out and see if its worth it. I'm not sure people want to spend very much on food for roaches :p

It's kinda like the enclosures. To keep the cost low enough for people to buy them, I'm really not making anything off them.
Now if I knew I could sell a bunch, I could try to buy in bulk at wholesale prices but I don't have the funds for that.

But I do like to keep my dubia healthy and happy. I also know what's going into them is going into everything that feeds on them. So its worth it to me :)

I know exactly whatcha mean bro....I feel the same way about my rodents that I breed for snake food. people think Im crazy when I tell them what food I buy for my rats....not to mention all the treats and toys I give em :P

Yeah give her a week and she will web.
Then throw in a couple of pinheads. If she doesn't take live, crush a head and leave it over night.
I'm going to set up a couple a versi just like here as soon as I can. :)

I'm really enjoying these guys.

Edit**
Also that false widow is really cool!!!

Keep us updated on her for sure!!!

I sure will. I want to go searching for more, but my husband is giving me "the grumbles" lol....he told me I have too many spiders. I told him there are probably twice more wild spiders loose in the house(that he doesn't know abut) than I have in micro terrariums....and that he is much safer knowing that I have at least some of them contained :P

Haha.
My house is covered is spiders.

I'm seeing a ton of Ant Mimics this year at work.
