Tarantulas and Spiders

Saved some sort of spider from the cats little while ago. It was about an inch and pale grey. Finally after it figured out I wasn't gonna hurt it it let me carry it outside. :)

I provided her with a small ceramic cave tilted on its side against the glass, and halfway in the dirt. But, she was like ,"pssshht. I aint usin dat." Oh well. :P Im sure once she molts a few more times and gets bigger, that cave will look more inviting.

I've only got the 2 irminias. I have a habbit of buying 2 or 3 of each that way when I figure out what the sexes are I can keep my favorite female and sell off the males and any females that have bad attitudes. well thats the plan anyway. I dont like the idea of how males only live for a few months after maturing so if I get more than one of each type it increases my odds of having one long term. i've got 3 chacos, 2 versicolors, 2 indian ornamentals, 2 brazilian reds, 2 normal rose hairs, 2 gold fluffs, 2 red zebras, 2 a. geroldi, 2 a. metallica, 2 az blonds, 2 sun tigers, 2 flame hairs, and I've got an order in for 2 ghost ornamentals, 2 straight horned baboons, a bunch of red rumps and curly hairs coming in thursday or friday that i'll be keeping at least 2 of each of those also. I may have missed a species or two. its late and i'm to lazy to go in the reptile room and double check. lol

heck ya go vote for #5 in the hotm gallery! thats my pic! The wife decorated my chaco's cup lol. I posted the pic in this thread a couple days ago. Then I entered it in the potm because the them was water but apparently the mods thought it needed to go in the other contest.

Awesome Crystal!
So you flipped the 2.5 for your irminia?

And if I remember right, it takes about a week to 10 days for the babies to leave the mom after they hatch. They will be all over your house if you aren't careful.

Mike, they don't run from a red light like they do a normal one.

Damon, whats a "gold fluff"??? Sounds something.....:eek:
And yes, I did flip that for Tigra. I moved my rosea into a new 2.5 gallon i bought. When Tigra gets even bigger, I may move her into Pinky's 6 gallon cylindrical terrarium because once he matures im going to sell him.

If the baby wolfs eat ants, theyre more than welcome to stay :D

Mine is getting huge in her 2.5 and is still very happy. I think they won't ever need anything larger than a 5.5.

Gold fluff is a Grammostola sp. Maule I personally think its just a color phase or sub species of a G. Rosea. It looks. Well probably get a better idea if you Google it. They are really fluffy though lol.

So the 6g cylinder will be perfect:D

Yeah that should make her an awesome home.

I'm not looking forward to the transfer.

Ohhhh. I get it now. My containers and crap all came in today. Time to start filling them! :O

Mike, did you find Houdini?

We used to have a chinchilla named that. For the same reason, lol, escape artist!

Nope :(
There's a pretty good chance he's still alive, i'd just prefer he was alive in his lil home

I got my containers in today from amazon.

I got 25 of these lil vials, which is what i WAS going to move the irminia down into...

I wanna get like 10-15 slings of something and raise them up for a bit and sell off most of them, 3skulls style. Just trying to decide what I wanna get...

I've been trying to breath through it unsuccessfully...

Over the weekend we adopted an awesome versicolor from martin82531.
I cleaned up the viv she was in as she'd made a bit of a mess. She's around 2.5 inches I'd say. We kept her name :)

C. marshalli, he is just an angry little spider. I look at him and he goes into threat display. He runs to the top if I need with the lid. Are they all this angry lol?

All pics of the H. mac and C. mar were taken with a heavy piece of plexiglass over their vials, I took no chances.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/04/2ame4y2a.jpg

I love them. I'm definitely getting more. The H. mac actually doesn't act aggressive, it acts a lot like my P. met, comes and begs for food and waits at the lid for its roach. Taking no chances though, it's quick.

3skulls, are the C. darlingi as defensive as the marshalli?

My little brother just bought a lasiodora klugi ( bahia Scarlett bird eater) . Its His 3rd t! Hahaha he's so pumped. Should be interesting. Anyone have any experience and information with this particular T that I could pass down to him?

My darlingi are still small but one the other day was attacking the paintbrush.
I'm sure most of them are more on the defensive / aggressive side.

I only have L. parahybana, so I can only comment on them. They grow very quick and get huge. When they get some size, you need a reliable food source. One of my LPs love to throw up a threat pose anytime I open the enclosure. Will run and grab the tweezers with force. The venom is not the most potent but those fangs get very large. I'm guessing they can cause some damage.

Thanks for the update! She/he truly looks beautiful!

I most definitely need one of the darlingi as well. I love his "I'LL KEEEL YOU!!" attitude.

OBT grooming
http://youtu.be/iHolJ1BUMLo

The first time i saw one of mine grooming themselves i had no clue what they were doing lol.

My vagans and boehmei both molted last nite. I'll take pics in a day or two after they harden up.

The vagans really is getting red hairs on its rump and the boehmei is starting to get colors on its legs.

Damon- i'm not sure how to get a sex on the vagans for your friend. What would you need a picture of to tell?

Mike at that size, I would need way younger eyes and a very fresh molt to sex it.

Head over to AB so you can find photos of what you are looking for. You are looking for a "flap" between the first set of book lungs. Flap = Female No flap = male.
They are also a very long time away from being mature.

Oh ok. Nah i don't need them to be mature. Damon had just said his friend was interested in a male vagans. Idk if it needs to be mature RIGHT now though.

Oh no, more spiders!!
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/06/ama6y9yb.jpg

I'm STILL trying to decide what i want exactly before i place an order... Lol.

Albo's are curly hairs?

Yeah :)
I have one that's starting to get some size and had to grab some more.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/06/8a8e9eha.jpg

I keep saying, no more until I move some, but can't stop :o

Its going to be a busy weekend.

Curly hairs look cool too. Well most ts look cool! Haha

More more moreeee! :D

This has a good list of EVERY species; however, it doesn't have pics or descriptions like I talked about in my rant of what I wanted before lol.
EDIT: forgot to paste the link lol

Did we ever figure out how why the iTarantula app is $13.99 for me and how you got it for $3?

Did skulls get it back when it was in its beta stage?

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

Idk! I don't wanna pay $14 for it if it isnt worth it tho lol

I got it right when it first came out.

I would never pay that much for it. I wouldn't give more than a couple bucks.


I think it would be cool to have a complete database like that.

Wth?! Why did it quadruple in price?!

My little bros brachypelma albiceps.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/06/medetage.jpg

I'm not sure how much it cost to run an app but ouch.
If everyone sends me 1 of each species, ill get photos for the database
