    Got a few more of the P. pederseni moved over. I empty the shelves of these little containers every time I go to the store.

    Also picked up some pinheads at the show today. 100x easier when I fed everyone tonight. It's only Sunday and I'm pretty much caught up in the bug room :)

    Soon I'll want more I promise!! Life is almost back to dull and boring haha. But opinions needed, I'm hoping to get a motorcycle with extra grant money I got awarded for being such an A+ student lol. Anyway there is a 83 shadow 500 an86 750, 98 savage ls 650, an a 99 vstar 750 that are within my price range. You guys got any imput on those bikes? It will be my first road bike, I grew up on dirt bikes and driving friends road bikes tho. I don't really want a rocket cuz I think the way you sit will mess with my back since I broke it when I was younger. Don't mean to go off topic lol jus easier than making a thread when I just want a little input

    I don't really know much about bikes.
    Go and check them out in person if you can. I would look them over and sit on them.
    Go with one that "feels" best.

    I would second this motion. My only input other than that is if you ride dirt bikes you're not gonna Luke the 650 savage. If I'm not mistaken its a single cylinder. Its not gonna have that snappy throttle response that you're used to.

    Todays Pick ups from the brand new show in youngstown, Ohio! only about 200 people through the doors but seemed like they all brought money! it was a really good day for us! I sold out of panamanian boas and a few other things!

    another little B. smithi! my wife took my other one from me so I had to go get my own. lol
    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7f3ffe03.jpg

    I also picked up a B. boehemi for myself
    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...pseb58b5bb.jpg

    My wife coerced me into buying these. She had to twist my arm really really hard to get me to take them home! its not truely a tarantula but what it lacks in size it makes up for in color! these crappy cell pics dont do it justice!

    and my bone head move of the day! I picked up some wc H. maculata's. i've got what appears to be 2 females at 5+ inches, 1 female thats about 3.5", and a probable male that's about 3"! the one in the pic had a ghost sac in the bottom of the cup. Im not sure if i was heart broke or relieved that it wasnt a full sac. lol

    thanks for looking!

    This is by far my most frequented thread. Not being a tarantula owner myself I tend to creep. But one day... one day I will be a tarantula owner myself, and when that day comes, the world will not be ready...

    :)

    P.S. Keep the posting up guys.

    When that day comes, if you have any questions, let us know!

    I'll keep posting for sure. I like to share because I almost feel guilty having all these awesome spiders, in a room no one ever sees.

    Never molting?!? :p no bueno. Have you played around with humidity at all to help the process? :/ Sometimes my T's seem to wait for an enclosure upgrade before they molt also. Lol Hope that helps. :)

    well after letting my nerves calm down. I got my H. macs enclosure together and got her transferred. Hope she enjoys her house because I have no plans of transferring her ever again unless I absolutely have to!

    http://i1067.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7d290f38.jpg

    I hot glued her water dish to her cup. I hope it holds up!

    sometimes but I way prefer watching the worm wiggle around while they are sucking it in!

    just got done feeding almost 200 slings i'm exhausted lol. the enjoyment of watching them pounce on a pinhead way out weighs the headache of doing it! Its certainly way more enjoyable and way less tiring than feeding 200 head of dairy cows! I miss being in the country but I dont miss the work that came with it. Tarantula farming is way more fun. lol
