Tarantulas and Spiders

I wouldn't mind have a trap door but I could just label an empty cup and pretend I have one :p

She was a sweetheart but the only cool rosea I ever owned, the rest have been demon spawn.

I'd like to get back into inverts some day but I'll probably stick with old world tarantulas. When I was younger the hairs never phased me but over the years I've become more sensitive to them. I had a small crawshayi that I sold when she was around 2 inches and still kick myself over that one. She was a terrible display animal but the most fun during feeding time.

Never took many pictures but I have a couple of the last batch of inverts I raised. The tarantulas were probably 2nd or 3rd instar when I got them - itty bitty. I typically kept my inverts bone dry for all but the biggest humidity lovers - they got corner and hide mists daily.

She's probably around 5 inches or so now. I haven't really measured her since she molted but she gained a good amount of size. :D

Awesome Jumper. Is that scorpion missing its stinger?

We went Widow hunting today. Found a bunch in a 1/2 mile stretch.

I have no idea what that is. It looks kinda like a queen any but then again it kinda doesn't. Maybe you stumbled across a new species lol 😎

Nope, it didn't hurt but he poked me a couple times before I let him go haha.

That other angle made it look like it was missing.
I doubt I'll ever try to hold a scorp

Lol! Why? He was pretty placid until I went to let him go. He would shrink up like the first picture and lay his tail out.

Very much jealous of the GBB!

You know it's spring time when the large female five lined skinks come out to play. Lol.

How big does mine need to be before you can sex it? Or where do you need a pic of?

I don't even try until they are 3" or bigger.

You'll look inside its molt between the first set of book lungs.

If you still need a boy, and "Gigi" winds up male, I'll send him your way. Lol. We have a ways to go though.

Cant wait till wednesday have 2 A versicolor slings coming in

I'll see if I can catch him out of his Web for a pic. But I would guess 50 cent to silver dollar size, including leg span. He was all sprawled out last Friday before dinner. Should have got a pic.

That's pretty good size!

My 3 new versicolor sling bought 2 he threw one in as a freebie omg there so small but not smaller then my B vagans.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/24/azusu6ez.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/24/u9azedy9.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/24/nu7adatu.jpg

Do versicolors web alot like A urticans

Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

Mine isn't a huge webber. He has just one corner done. Seems once he did it, that's it. No more. And I've poked holes in it to remove molts, doesn't appear he fixed them. My GBB on the other hand has everything webbed up.

Just realized i posted 2 of the same picture when i get back home ill post one of the versicolor

Very tiny C. fasciatum sling.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psff9db187.jpg

A. versicolor are some of the heavier webbers in that genus. (In my experience, without having kept a ton of Avicularia)


Adult in her web.

He needs something from the Acanthoscurria, Lasiodora, or Nhandu genus! PM 3skulls, I know he has a few things available that your dad would probably like.

Haha Mike you would go into shock :p it was a lot better years ago. Almost everything was set up to make people feel very uneasy.

Make your plans early, vacation spots book up quick.

What else did u have weird to make people creeped out? If i did stuff like that in my own house to mess with people I would be ok with it. But if I go to your house and I'm not in on the joke then it's no Bueno haha

I'll have to tell you in chat.

Paired the Lampropelma sp. "Borneo Black" last night.
Pics sucked because she spooks easy.

Was one of the craziest pairing yet. He took drumming to the next level. He was hitting her tub so freaking hard. I really need to start running video when I pair.
He got it done and ran out really quick. :)
