Thanks! And the tarantula was some sort of Peruvian species.. I can't quite remember the name it of :oops:. Perhaps somebody more experienced will come along and identify it.

The last pic of the Pastel is stunning, seems like a BPOM entry to me:D.

That is one crazy looking tarantula, I wouldn't mind holding that either LOL. I've only got two but they are still small, seems it's taking forever for them to grow:P.

nice pick ups and pics:gj:congrats!
hopefully i'll be able to make it up there tomorrow:please:

honestly the one thing i am afraid of in this world is freaking spiders. it is a fear i would love to overcome. maybe next show someone will let me carry a spider like that if i grow the balls to let them get it near me.

Great pics and nice pick-ups!

My reaction whilst looking through your photos:

hmm nice
nice
nice
nice
nice
nice
nice
oooh some kind of lizard
oooh
AHHHHHH SPIDER

I don't know why but spider's just get asddfawek;ljjpoi under my skin. My cousin said something about the way they move/walk being like an anomaly to our brains and so that's why for most people their first reaction is to be squeamish. But he was drunk and known for his bs so I dunno. I too would like to conquer my fear haha but it doesn't help that my other cousin almost had to have her leg amputated because of a spider bite she got out in the field ...you'd think an entomologist would know better sheesh.

Very nice pickups:gj:

Nice pick ups!
Also enjoyed the other pics.

Very nice stuff! :gj:

Beautiful new additions and thanks for sharing the awesome pics :gj:

Trey had some very nice snakes. My mom held that tarantula, I couldn't believe it. All I remember is that he said it was Peruvian. I found what I wanted at the show the very last minute and then the wife picked up an extra while we were walking out to leave.

those lesserbees have me drooling

nice pickups !

Nice pick-ups!

The tarantula looks Theraphosa spp. or Pamphobeteus spp. is only a guess.

nice pictures and pick ups!

i think the T looks more like Grammostola pulchra.

Thank you all for all the nice comments!

Regarding the tarantula, I am pretty amused at all the "OMG EW SPIDERS HOW COULD YOU?!" responses! If you swap out the word "spider/tarantula" with the word "snake", you see how many people feel about us herp hobbyists. No offence is meant to anyone, though, I am just commenting. I, myself, used to be petrified of spiders until I got the nerve to hold one!

I actually ended up with a Rose Hair Tarantula spiderling after I purchased some Ocala Scrub Millipedes..

i had ocala scrubs. make sure you provide some oak leaves for them. they were extremly selective in what they ate. they mostly stuck to the leaves and cucumbers.

Thanks for the tip! Luckily there are a lot of oak trees around here, I will have to go gather some leaves and get some cucumbers.
