No fair :p I have to make mine and still get less :o

8x8x12 are a good size for arboreal. I just hate the way the doors open. Leaves a gap on each side. You go in on the right to feed and the T darts out the left where its hinged.

Im still thinking about cutting my own acrylic an making my own adult cages. If I get good maybe I can make an acrylic one for my carpet! Haha

I tried but I don't have the proper tools.
Then one drop or splash of solvent and it messed up. Ugh.

I wish I had the tools and skills to make some nice display cages.

I got mad building skills. Wood is easiest but im guessing sheets of acrylic cant been much different to build with. Ill get the tools I need when time comes. I just suck with electronics. I would have shined in the Renaissance(?) Ages lol

how can you not love wolf spiders?!?!? i once caught one and fed it crickets from a hardware shop there wicked:spid0r:

Wolf spiders can be very fun to keep.

You guys all need to get an obt. I love mine already. Granted, he does scare me a bit, but he's a badass. He made a tunnel burrow along the wall of the cup and theres webbing over it and i tried to drop the roach into the opening but instead it landed like on the edge of the "roof" of the burrow and he just comes charging out, rips down the roach and webbed roof and bits of dirt caught in the webbing and jams his fangs into it. Watching him angrily tag his webbingroachdirt ball was hilarious. All the while, upside down, since it was on the "roof" of the tunnel. I'm honestly only probably gunna have to transfer him like 2 or 3 times and they need to be removed for cage maintenance like what, mayyybe every year or other year...? Soooo worth the danger factor.

crap looks like im gonna have to man up and get an obt! I dont have anything that eats like that. ;(

hey my versicolors are just chillin out at the top of the cup. Is that normal or do I need to check my husbandry? I keep them in my reptile room where I dedicated a couple shelves to my T's. the room is kept at 82 ambient day time and 78 night time. The humidity is at 55-60% at all times.

Yeah Avics hang out at the top. I'll put you down for an OBT :p

Here are some OBTs feeding

Mike, they are a very cool spider. :)

They're a VERY cool spider. This may be a bad comparison but they sorta remind me of an octopus when they attack. They throw their whole body into it and it looks like some of their limbs are just flailing but all 8 are actually working in unison. Very cool stuff.

My boehmei and my vagans both have to be due for a molt very soon. The black patches on their butts are wearing off. Can't wait to see how much size the vagans especially, puts on. :)

I still couldn't find the P. irminia so i just left a dead roach in the cup lol.

Hey I almost forgot i'm setting up at the Harmar House show in Cheswick, PA tomorrow. Supposed to be a decent bug vender there. Let me know if I need to keep an eye out for anything. PM me what you are looking for and what you are willing to go up to and if I can find it for that i'll pick it up and you guys just pay exactly what I pay plus exact shipping. If you are good with it pm a cell # too and i'll either text or call if I find it and so I can confirm its good to go.

Anyone here a member of nothing but legs on facebook? i dont do the facebook thing but i've heard theres some good deals on slings from time to time.

Sorry, no OBT pics, couldn't get a good shot. Here's a couple pics of others though.

versi. C'mon kodie, show linds that blue coloring and she can't say no! He's so cool looking. Such a little gentleman, taking the roach gently off the tongs.

Crystal, you were asking about them, checkout the webbing he's got going on.

And my vagans. She snatched the roach off the tongs before i could even drop it into her burrow. Surprised me a bit. I'm amazed by their strength/speed. I thought i had a good grip on the roach, but NOPE, she ripped it right out lmao.

NO! No more for awhile hahaha. A little while at least.... :o

Like the GBB mike! I want one lol. The vagans looks like the biggest you got right now?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Damon, I can't think of what I would want right now. I really need to move some before I get more. If you see something really cool for around 20-25 we can trade.


Good pics Mike!! I had a couple of irminia jump and tackle their pinheads :)

GBB's are very cool. They like it dry too, so no need to fiddle with a water dish. Neat webbing too.

The vagans is the biggest, but the obt is a close second. The obt has like a linebacker build, but the vagans has an o-lineman build. Its hard to compare them.

You must have a modest t shelf going now mike how many you got all together? Im not good at paying attention to things lol

Well per Rich's definition of self control.(having enough enclosures and substrate on hand when you go nuts buying T's) I controled myself today. Lol. However I will need to go buy more enclosures and substrate before getting anymore. :P the bug vender that was supposed to be there didn't show but lucky for me another guy I know had a bunch of sub adult T's for me. Ill try to get some pics and a list for ya'll here after bit.

We already know the sex. Its a girl and her name is kierie. End. Of. Story.

Not goin there! Lol

sent from my incubator

So put you down for 3.0 versi slings.

Something about finding out the sex but they are young, so its 0.0.3.

That's the reward for studying up on Tarantulas.

Got it ;)

ok for those of you that are impatient heres the first round of pics. I only took 1 pic of each type. I got multiples of each incase anyone decides they want one. i'll pass what ever savings I got on to those who have continued being enablers to my new addiction. haha any who pm me for details or questions. I appologize for the crappy cell pics but its the only camera i've got.

Haha! Let's start with one, and see where that goes. But definitely a 0.0.1 versicolor sling.

ok second installment of todays pick ups! same thing as before for my enablers. I know all of my pick ups today are fairly common but my pics dont do any of these T's justice. from my understanding these are all locality specific rose hairs. please if I screwed something up feel free to correct me. I'm still learning. The pics are horrible. the color is pretty washed on all of them but there is a big difference in how red each of the types are.

I didnt get wholesale on any of these guys but I certainly dont think I paid retail so I grabbed up a bunch of each type. kinda cause I wanted all of them and was helping out my friend. He's not going to be able to make it to the next few shows so figured i'd be a substitute bug guy for a couple weeks. lol
