I feel like a group of ass hats would not be called a gaggle.

Hahaha. I'm definitely going to coin that phrase. " Gaggle of ass hats" EPIC.
Yeah! P. Metallica has fascinated me ever since I first began to read up on it. If I where to attain one I would definitely try an attain a pair to breed so as to give back in respect to conservation for this species. :))

Gaggle is such a fun word tho. Could go with a mob or a hord. Group is just too blah to describe the true tomfoolery of the situatio.

A class of ass hats, because they have so much to teach each other.

I would think a Dbaggery (I'd give you the D, but I don't wanna catch an infraction ;)) of ass hats would sound about right.

ROACHES!!!!! I hate roaches

Sex is unknown.

Didn't have the $550 to spend on a sexed female adult :(

I have some feeding/post molt pics.

B. vagans post molt chowing down on a roach:

B. boehmei post molt. Actually attacked and ate a live roach instead of a p/k one! :)
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/11/ajepygeb.jpg

The wolf spider eating one of the smallest roaches i could find lol. I don't get how he hasn't grown at all? He's eaten at least 5 or 6 roaches that size. I've left p/k ones in there too and they're always gone so I know he eats them. He's put on very little size though. Its weird.

My OBT. It webbed the wall of its tunnel hideout so thats why he looks blurry. He's eating a roach, you just can't really see it.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/11/ejanuses.jpg

And these are the two molts. Boehmei on top and vagans on bottom.

The versi and GBB both didn't eat so I'm expecting a molt soon

Aw yer B. vegans is starting to look like an adult tarantula!

Tell yer boehmei to catch up, mine's been chowing the live roaches!

That's a HUGE roach for that tiny spider lol.

At that size you should be able to sex your P. met by looking at the vent area and maybe even by dorsal pattern.


Good pics Mike! Your vagans is looking big. Maybe just the pic but looks way bigger than its siblings.

So I know I said no more for a while but... I have something really exciting coming in. I hate to talk about spiders before they are alive in my hands but I'm pretty excited. Stay tuned!! I will only be letting a few of these go. :)

I know it is but its the smallest i got for him. He kills em just fine though. He bites them and drags them around the enclosure lol.

That's how I would kill my prey. I may be tiny, but I'm fierce!

I feel like an odd sushi chef cutting up crickets for all these babies. I also feel the one that gets the head is lucky.

Ahh! Need my ts soon! Got my car fixed I think tho... see how it drives tonight on way to work. Only had to spend a couple hundred :/ but if I fixed it all I can treat myself soon and they've been enjoying their stay with rich too long lol

I wouldn't suggest doing that around me. I'm unstable and teleport like a T.

He refused food this past feeding and his butt looks big so i'm thinking i'll see another molt from him in the next week or two. Can't wait to see what he looks like after the molt. :)
