Tarantulas and Spiders

Nice! Yeah that size and up should start showing colors. The next molt should e exciting!!

I like how I can see into the burrow. An this next month is gonna be busy as all crap but hoping to get fun stuff during it. Bills almost caught up car no longer trying to kill me.

Went a different direction with the OBT. Now that I have more room, I'll be holding back more of them. Also have a bunch of OBT babies coming next week.

:groinkick: haha you're probably right but you know you still love us! Nice set up! it's like moving from an efficiency apartment in Compton to a guest house in Beverly Hills. lol

P. pederseni - one of these guys took off into the middle of all my little portion cups. Thought it was gone but found it.

An one of my Rats because he was watching me work on the Ts.

I love my OBT! I'd like him more if he was just a littttleee bit slower so i'd feel better admiring him without the lid on his cup but through the side is fine too haha.

Who wouldn't love an OBT ? :p

Crystal. Cuz she's a baby.

I airbrushed an OBT to look like a versi. She's going to be surprised when it molts. :p

How about a little tour of Creature Addiction's Tarantula / dubia room.
It's been a long night in here so why not share some pics.

A shot of most of the collection.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/06/u6u6a7an.jpg

Then my messy work space / desk, the dubia rack and baby T rack.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/06/berezutu.jpg

Now the exciting part. This was filled with baby snakes. Now that most of them are downstairs ( besides a King and 3 Rats ) I have lots of free space for more Tarantulas. Just what I need right?
I'm thinking adult terrestrials and maybe some display arboreal Ts in this area.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/06/mymegune.jpg

Make sure to check out the gift shop before you exit :p

Oh and those little H. incei are quick! Webbing their little cups up pretty good. They are going to be some cool little spiders.
OBTs coming I this week!!

I wanna come visit! Free tours for any of the peeps in this thread!!! :p

Edit: double post

X2!!

I promise to visit the giftshop. :D

Haha, one at a time. It's not a very big room :p

After the bug room, you get to see some turtles and frogs, then lunch. After lunch its off to the snake room.
If you have good group and we have time, you get to clean up some snake poop and or fill some water bowls. :)

I like the shelving you put in. exactly what i've been considering instead of buying book cases. that way I can go floor to ceiling.

Thanks!
Plus you can change it up and adjust them, add more, take away etc.

From the windows, to the walls!

Better than Disneyland any day!

Everything has a price. I'd do it. It can't kill you.

That poor little spider.

Crystal has to put her money where her mouth is. She can't be challenging me like that without a prize involved!

Look how freaking cute. How could you not love an OBT?

Just starting to get a little orange on its butt. :)

Ugh! I feel like an idiot but ill share anyway.

I highly recommend unpacking a lot of fast Ts without a shirt on. The 3rd one shot up my arm and into my shirt. It's now lost :(
There goes my perfect record of never letting one get away during packing, unpacking or transfer.
Once it got into my shirt I couldn't follow it. I slowly took it off but have no idea where it went.

Good news, I have a ton of true spiders living in all the little spaces like under the desk.

I'll keep looking but I have combed over this entire room.

Lol that would suck! Hopfully you find the little one

That sucks! Sorry to hear it.

Mike you've got issues :P

Still no luck. Most of the time with a quick little baby like an OBT, I would have called my girl in to get it but she wasn't here. They always want to go into your shirt.

While I was looking and cleaning everything, I rearranged the shelves a bit.
Damon
Its a very small change, mostly just so I could go 2 high on some stuff and 4 high on the cups. But I wanted to give you an idea of how the shelves are way better than a book case or fixed shelves.

After.

A little work but you can make it fit your needs.

They're your T's, i can't handle any without your permission! ;)

Just re house my biggest p.regalis. Still couldn't tell if it's a he or a she but fingers crosses! Also added a p.miranda sling to the collection today. Too fast to take a good picture thoughhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/08/hybyvury.jpg

That regalis looks awesome!

Who needs strip poker when there's better excuses, like group T handling?!

Also, I feel like ppl might get the wrong idea if I show them T unboxing vids, following that advice.

We can unbox together as a group so it isn't awkward. You can be rough with my package but be careful of the fragile T's. :gj:

I've been busy! Visited Ana at Netbug and got some new T's. I'm not keeping all of them though. Some are a gift and some are going to damon. Ana was very nice and a wealth of information! Learned a ton in just the half hour or so i talked to her. She cares a lot about her spiders and it really shows. Looking forward to doing business with her again. :)

New ones first. Blue fangs and Emerald skeletons. These guys all have pink legs and iridescent butts, they're pretty cool:

This vagans is going to him too. If it ends up female she'll come back to me (i sorta hope its a girl haha) but if its a male then damons friend will use him to sex up the lady vagans! I'll be happy with either outcome bc if it was a male i'd be sending him away anyways, glad that he'd at least be going to someone good! :gj:

That's soooo friggin sweet! Can't wait for my delivery! Kinda kicking myself for not getting a few of those emerald skeletons. They are sweet looking!

horrible pic but had to share! its just amazing what these tiny little creatures can do!

http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...psedd3c97c.jpg

I got to watch the whole thing! just amazing that spider is only about 1/2" and the web is a good 20" diameter. It took it less than 20 minutes from start to finish.

I did the Harmar house show in cheswick, PA today. overall it was a good day i'll have to get back on here later and tell ya'll about it. I've still got animals to finish putting away and cages to clean.

Awesome pickups Mike!

Damon, true spiders are amazing. Out in the woods at work, there are some huge webs. It's crazy how they can do such work.

So the Harmar House show...... The only other people that had bugs other than feeders were a few people that had some wc specimens. I did alright with the spiders. Had a lot of interest in them. I had a guy teach me exactly how to sex our scorpions. Also had someone explain how to sex T's from the epiandrous fusillae. Not 100% sure I completely understand but I had all of the larger irminia guessed correctly. lol Which I only have 1 left of and its a male. ok so the not so good part of the day. I was checking out an adult female boa to add to the collection. Had the owner and it behind my table. Another customer decided it would be ok to come back and goo over the 11 footer I was handling. I had all of my slings in shoe boxes stacked on the table. the boa looked in his direction, dude paniced jumped and knocked my slings over. I had one casualty. I lost a H. mac in the ordeal. I was pissed. the guy took off like a bat outta hell before I could even check on the slings. but I was not happy when I found the little guy squished on the lid. I had to stop one of the guys that had been hanging out at my table most of the day. soon as we found the poor little squished H. mac that guy was like "which way did he go? He's about to have an accident in the parking lot." other than that incident I had a good day. Sold a few snakes. sold quite a few spiders. I actually managed to behave and not make any purchases. The wife on the other hand....

Man that sucks. What a jack hole.

I have never even really tried to sex a spider without a molt. ( unless it dimorphic or hooked out etc. ) because I have seen people with tons of knowledge on tarantulas get it wrong. Maybe they just didn't know as much as they acted.

We are debating to do some of the local shows. That's awesome to hear that you are moving some!
I think I'm more of a undercover hoarder with a business front :p
I need to get in top of things and try to move some myself.

Check out this little guy. He hung out with me for a bit. Was really jumpy at first, thought he was going to get me.

Lmao! That's good undercover hoarder.

Man I'm telling you do the shows! Even if you don't sell much there hand out tons of business cards and get a big friggin sign to to promote you're business! In the past couple months I've landed 2 pet stores that place a couple small orders a month and my phone is ringing quite a bit from people saying hey I got your card from a buddy that met you at such and such show do have this? If nothing else its a good time, tax wright off, cheap advertising, and a great way to make new connections.

*edit hell if you want come throw your stuff on my tables ill hang a sign that says "Interstate Arachnid Co-Op" lol

Yep I said tables since adding Ts to my list of tricks I had to start getting an extra table. Lol
