The Poeci, urtican and Borneos were a trade I did with Jamie. I only got 3 so I have to hold on to them. :D
She really hooked me up! Was really happy when I opened the box. I only asked for 2 BBs and the Mysore.

Haha Crystal, behave.

And a huge thanks to Mike! I hope the little Blue Fang makes it.

Those borneo blacks are sick

Yeah they are cool. Same genus as the LVs you have here. Lampropelma.

Just found this huge male. Wish I had my real camera because he looks really awesome in person.

What an awesome day! with one exception but I wont post that here. anyway..... I lost a pumpkin patch about a month ago. It was only a wee thing at 2i. I looked for it that day and wrote it off. Well I was cleaning my critter room and found him hiding in a stack of delicup lids! :dance: so happy he made it and I have him back! Louie dont give up on your lost one. he may turn up when you are least expecting it!!!

That's really freaking crazy Damon!
What was the bad part? When you cried because you were parting with all the cool stuff you are sending me? :p

Chilobrachys fimbriatus

My other OBT female I got yesterday. So pretty in person.

First pairing ever!
Might as well start with some OBTs

This was a pretty big rush. The male first ran out and onto the wall. Had to chase him down. I introduced him in with the female and he started to do his thing. Really awesome to watch!!

Here he is coming in from the left.

After they touched and did their little dance for a bit, she leaned back to let him do his thing.

He hooked her fangs and held her down and got the job done.

They stayed that way for a bit. As soon as he pulled away I got him out of there. He ran and had to chase him down again. After he reloads, I'll try him with the 2nd female.

That was one of the coolest thing I have seen. Amazing!!

Even tho they were obts, it still seems like it was kewl to watch!!!

I wanted to video it but my phone was acting up. I'll try to when I pair him with the 2nd female.

Yep that was my first time Damon. :)
:banana:

This female was very laid back with him. I'm hoping the other one will be as well.

videos of tarantula "snu snu"???

Does that fit in to BP.net's TOS?:rofl::rofl:

Haha as long as you post it after 11pm

I never have anyone handy to take pics or video and I don't have a third hand to hold a camera. I'm not comfortable enough yet to set down my catch cup or paint brush.

Haha I was so excited I ran into the next room to get my memory card.

Got to watch a tarantula eat a cricket at the pet store today; it was an emerald skeleton (??) about 3"...it destroyed the cricket lol.

I could get used to watching this :P

still my favorite part of owning T's ^^^

That sounds so interesting. I think I'm gonna youtube 'tarantulas eating' now...

There are tons of feeding videos.

Tarantulas are so stinkin cool!!!

I can't get enough of them. :p

That's awesome, Rich! And that description... have you considered writing "romance" novels?

Haha

It's all about the cover. If I can get a flowing blond wig for him, with an unbuttoned shirt....

3skulls, do you have any scorpions?

^^^^This


My brother is interested in centipedes and other "alternate" inverts like scorpions...I told him I'd ask around about care and purchasing

Scorps are as easy as T's. Damon has some but his wife is more into them i think. He's been trying to convince me to try them lol.

I know rich has pedes. He had a couple die on him i think, idk how fragile they are. Probably not as easy as t's or scorps i'd guess.

Idk if rich has scorps or if damon has pedes tho lol.

I don't have any scorps.
All of my millipedes have died. I'm not sure what I did wrong, if anything.

Nothing beats a tarantula. :)

Check out my facebook meth I've got a pricelist posted and a decent selection of scorps. Always working on expanding our collection.

Me no have FB buddy....
do you have centipedes though?? My brother is REALLY nuts about them...he thinks its so cool that they bite lol

and it's MePH....not that Breaking Bad stuff :P

sadly my pede order was grossly short and i sold the only couple I had at the expo today. and sorry bout the incorrect name my friend

That's alright....it can be a bit of a mouthful for some :P


What is centipede care like??

Wish I knew meph lol I only had the about 3 days before they sold. They like crickets tho!

I looked at arachnoboard and couldn't find any good DIY project tutorials...most of the people who ask get told to "use the search function...:slamhead:

And I hesitate to trust what I read online elsewhere lol



I guess we'll have to just venture out on our own and try something

I can give him scorpion care easily. I've kept everything at least once before. I was even first in the US to have certain Tityus species.

I think I'd like to have a bigggg centipede. They're so neat. :-)

I'm not into centipedes but I have sat for a friend. They are very very very very quick.

Lol, I want the big lazy ones.

I don't believe this would be the case with any of them. If you're going to start though stay with something native. The Asian ones can be pretty nasty and cause trouble.

Do you still know anyone reputable that I can get good deals from on some various Tityus species?

Yes I know quite a few people, but it's all going to boil down to what species of Tityus you want and what you're looking to spend. PM me what species you want and I'll tell you if it's even doable then we can talk about prices and I'll direct you in the right direction.

Some Tityus are cheap and some can be $50ish a pop. All depends on the rarity.

Just do your research first, that's the best advice I can offer besides staying with something native.

Why native? I'm just curious because I've never kept any insects before.

Read about the Asian ones...you'll see why

What about giant African millipedes?
