I don't always have the best of luck when keeping wild caught but I have her all set up. Maybe she'll lay a sac. :)

Got her setup.

Their so tiny haha Minnesota needs to warm up!

We had a cold front today.
Look for 3 days with the lows above 35, starting on a Monday.

Same here we have lows of 3 and below

Screw that, haha. Well they won't do much growing before it warms up.

Haha ya this cold is brutal sometimes pumped to get one tho so gotta hurry up.

Caught this girl last year, her first night at home I walked in on this...

Thought you all would like to see.

That's cool! I always wondered what that looks like, when she has bottom webbing done and has just laid the yellow sack down it looks like a chicken egg cracked open haha. And doing it all with her ass she deserves a medal haha

They are some of the coolest little animals to watch. The yellow was 100s of little eggs.

Spiders are amazing.

That's nuts I cant wait for mn to get warm it's 22 today!! Haha getting warm gonna have to bust out the shorts

The G. pulchra I caught the other day laid a sac.

I saw G. pulchra and all I could think was big black shiny tarantula :rolleye2: Very cool though! I love watching the garden spider's sacs hatch out

Gladicosa pulchra :D

I wish I had a Grammostola pulchra with a sac!!!

Nice bro how long does it take for them to hatch?

I had a few hatch last year and I can't remember. It's not long, a few weeks.
Then they ride on the mothers back for a bit.

Laid on 02-16-13
Ill keep her status updated.

That's goofy seeing spiders and scorps carry their babies like that

Last year I didn't notice the babies started leaving until I saw little wolf spiders floating past my face :o

Small update.


P. irminia
I get to see her for a few mins each week. It's well worth the wait.

Sweet, I like the orange on that girls legs. Minnesota is slowly warming up ha

They are really a great looking T in person. I wish I could get a good pic of my bigger one.
If i get some time this weekend, I'm setting the studio up. So I'll try to get some T pics as well.

Nice should look sweet. Your pms are full btw lol

Those turned out sweet what kinda camera you using?

Thanks!

Canon 20d with a 100mm Macro

I wish I could get more of them out for a photo.

I need to get a nice macro lens. Also need some good outdoor ones, building the new camera up got the base camera and lens now.

Put all your money into lenses. Good ones will last forever.

That's what I'm gonna do I just bought a Nikon package that has two starting lenses. My next big purchase will be on a real good outdoor one ive been looking at its a bad ass lens I had one like it for my 35mm set and I loved how chrisp it was.

I just started getting into tarantulas. :) I have a spiderling brachypelma vagans (Mexican redrump). I would like to get a nice camera for when he gets bigger. I've seen some absolutely amazing photos of tarantulas on arachnoboards and his growth is something I would like to try and document. He never really comes out of the little cave he made though. :/
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/27/azuqujam.jpg

His cave is craftily built under the piece of cork in his setup. :) to give you an idea of how big he is this little setup is 2.5 inches x2.5 inches x 4 inches
Tiny.

It will come out more once it starts getting bigger. My vagans make some really good tunnels :)
They are now just oven an inch and I see them out more and more.

I'm a member over there as well.
Keep us updated!!

Where do you get those little cages? Would one like that work for the rose?

Hobby Lobby.
Something longer rather than taller would be better for her.

K we just had a hobby lobby open up here too

I need to find something epic for Charlotte. I feel the exo terra sucks :/

You can get the little enclosures at Jamiestarantulas.com. They cost like 7 bucks. :)) good for spiderlings. They also carry nice affordable acrylic adult tarantula enclosures.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/02/urudusyz.jpg how's this one?

That will work. :)

Just a heads up, you can buy that cube for around $3

P. irminia was out for min. Have to try to get shots while I can.
