Tarantulas and Spiders

GBBs are on my list too! Mine would have been a pretty good size by now.


And I lied!!! I just did 2 more transfers.

2 bigger LPs
My hand itches already.

Now they have some more room to grow.

I'm almost caught up in the T room.

You've been working hard! I've seen those tubs, been thinking those for the vegan depending how large he is by then :/ well actully soon now since my car is fixed!

Haha so much more to do.

The vagans are in them now, just smaller ones.
I really like them but I wish they were clearer. Mostly use them for temp homes anyway.

I need to find something clear and stackable for the terrestrial Ts.

I think I may get the football case not sure if those are big enough still for a vagan but thats gonna be the next case for my chaco. Those can stack cant they?

Yeah I have one that I'm using now.

They only thing that sucks about them is getting the top open. It's a pretty tight fit. I sanded it down some and it made it better.

That will be a good size for your vagan, plus lots of room to grow for a while.

Soon now I hate my car but if it's done acting up I can buy fun things again!!

Are you as likely to attack and bite me as an OBT?
And will you at least put up a threat display first?

I second (or third?) The GBB suggestion! I love mine!

Wuss-a-face! Once you get one you'll wonder why you didn't before.
I'd like to think I contributed to Mike's finally getting one. I just kept sending him vids of feeding them and pics. Now look how many he has!

My daughter calls spider's eepy-creepy. I think she's right. :o

P. Metallicas are pretty tho.

Got the official "no" from my dad on getting a T. Grrr. Guess I'll add them to the list of things I'll have get once I finally move out.

However...are there any It's that are shaped like a jumping spider, and don't shoot those little hairs? Might be able to sell him on one like that. He loves jumping spiders.

What else is on that list...sounds scary

Woot. Like to keep ya guessing. Nope, 32, living in my dad's basement.

Or I might be 22, with 3 kids and a slacker husband.

Or I might be 19, cramming a bunch of reptiles into an office I share with my dad. :rolleyes:

Take your pick.

Now you wouldn't let your kids think that about snakes would you?

There is nothing creepy about spiders :)


And if a parent wont let you get tarantulas but likes Jumping spiders.
Simple answer is to get some Jumping spiders. They are very fun to keep. Hunt by vision so its fun to watch.

Just found this little girl. Tried for a better pic but she was scared.

Not all T's flick hairs. I've only seen it once so far when i first brought my (well, coleslaw's lol) boehmei home. Tbh a tiny jumping spider makes me more nervous than one of the bigger, slower moving T's. :p

Ok..so heres the pics of momma wolfy as promised...I also got some pics of the adorablest lil jumping spider in my bathroom. I love the lil jumpers...such charming behaviors and soo cute and fluffy :D

I totally want one of those too......it ranks right up there...just a squeak under P.metallica on the top of the want list. Avics have totally become my fave group..:D And Im in luck, cuz there are at least 11 species!!!

Awesome pics Crystal!
That Wolf looks cool.

I have kept Jumpers for close to a year others only a few months. I have had them double clutch before :)

OMG Rich.....I love love LOOOVVE the way you set this one up. Sooo flippin kewl! What size terrarium is it? I may have to get you to send me a "kit" ....as soon as you tell me what top secret T shipment you're getting in lol.....

2.5 :)
I have very limited wood left from that tree. I was very excited when I found it.

I'm hoping they will be in Tuesday :D

Edit. I will say they are small, fast and love to web!! They are look cool :)

OBT's?

I have a package of 3 arriving today and another 3 arriving next tuesday. :p

Out of the 3 today, one was a freebie vagans. I figure i'd just give it to someone as a freebie included with the next trade i make. How could I say no?! :rollseyes:

Haha nope. A dwarf species.

Pumpkin patches?

First I was a Peach and now your little Pumpkin Patch :o

But yeah. :p
I freaking can't wait.

Hapalopus sp. Large

Now I jinxed it.

So i guessed right?! BOOM!

I got my first 3 i ordered. The freebie vagans is REALLY tiny lol. I'm thinking i'll cut off a roach head or leg and feed it that. Its probably like 1/3":

The G. pulchra is really cool and was kinda lethargic at first. I'm hoping he stays just as mellow and can't wait for him to get adult colors :)

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/07/13/8y3ysuhe.jpg

The last one I got today was a C. meridionalis. Out of the ceratogyrus species I was looking at this one peaked my interest the most. The one I got is probably close to 2" already lol. Big and feisty. Not *quite* as quick as the OBT though. This is the only pic i could get of it. So friendly haha

I ordered these guys from Pet Center USA and was very happy with the entire transaction! :)

Awesome! That's about the size of the vagans I have.

Do they get good reviews? I thought I saw some iffy stuff but maybe not.

Congrats on the new Ts!!!!

I haven't seen anything negative about him and I was pleased with my order. :)

Nice new ts! Pumpkins are so cool!

I held Ursula today :)

To tell you the truth I don't know what makes them a baboon or not. "Baboons" are in a lot of different genus.
I guess it's like "Birdeaters" doesn't really mean anything.

I read this somewhere... maybe on arachnoboards... They're called "baboon T's" because baboons eat them. And that's why they're so aggressive. Not sure if thats true lol. I'd have to research them a bit. They sorta look like baboons in a way... Lol

No T bite can kill you, their venom isn't that advanced. So it would probably tickle.

burn and itch like hell like a bad reaction to a bee sting.

Crystal, some people call OBTs, Orange Starburst, Mombasa Starburst, Golden Starburst. No baboon :p

Haha maybe Mike. Common names are junk anyways.
And they are on my ever growing list too. My list is already to long and then I see something to add.

Mine is long too and rich keeps finding ones I want lol. I think there is a name for that.. instigator lol? ;)

You might worry about hair kicking more than a bite. I wouldn't recommend handling a GBB.
Their venom isn't really bad but its still venom. Pain and itching and fangs are going to hurt no matter what.
You would also have to worry about the spider hitting the floor. They are more flight than fight.

My thumbs are ate up right now from my LPs. Even when they don't "kick", it can still get you during cage care.
