Maybe on a big enough screen you can see the OBT hiding, but probably not. Lol

I love those guys. You're making me want T's with all these pics! Which is saying something since I'm terrified of spiders. Lol. :rolleye2:

*note to self* post pics of Ts til WarriorPrincess90 buys one.

:p

Thanks!

Those are some cool Ts you have yourself Chris. I have to admit I've slowly warmed up to idea for a t encloser in my snake/rodent room when it's done but still only display idk about one walking on me yet haha they look awesome tho!

You don't want most of them walking on you anyway :p

Once you get one the urge to get more becomes greater and greater and the fear factor becomes less and less. I will keep posting pics til you buy a T. Everyday if I have to! I'll even come to your house and take pics, ok maybe not that far... Or will I?
This goes for you too miss warriorprincess :p

*new note to self*
Make the invert section of bp.net the 2nd most popular section behind bp pics and recruit help in my mission

Haha ill look at every pic you post too. Mid January ill have the cash to build my room so once I get everything in place I might have to put a shelf up for a t to become the mascot lol how much do you have to feed them? I really don't like crickets smell too much roaches wouldn't be terrible tho long as I don't have to play with them lol

I feed the slings on Sundays and Thursdays, and I feed the juvi on Sundays. My lps is close enough that I just drive and pick up the crix on feeding day. I also have a small dubia colony started. So, hopefully I will be able to break away from crix soon enough.

Huh they don't eat nearly as much as I thought they do that's a plus lol

They're looking god brother!

Oh dear...now Chris is on a mission to get me to buy a T! Ah! :P I've actually perused several sites looking at slings...this is bad. :rolleyes: I just adore Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens...but I'm not brave enough to actually purposely have a spider living in my house yet. I DO think it would help with my Arachnophobia though if I bought one. Then I'd HAVE to become desensitized, right? :rolleye2:

Plus...they are amazing creatures. The way they are put together...and the molting process! So fascinating!

How do you transfer them for cleaning their enclosures?

First time seeing OBT after molt

Versi won't ever face the camera when eating...

P. irminia didn't want a pic but its webbing has started to pick up, idk if you can see the dirt tunnels

Yes ma'am I'm gonna make you want a T worse than ever. If I can help it I don't take them out when cleaning. I just spot clean with my tongs pulling out mold or leftovers lol.

More awesome pics from Chris haha what would you recommend for a first t that has some cokor

I love when a T puts her leftovers in the same place each time. It's also
Funny when they throw their molt out of the hide.

Here are a few to look at:
A. Versicolor
C. Cyaneopubescens (GBB)
B. Smithi

But check out websites selling Ts and see if you like anything different.

K next time I grab my lap top ill look at some of them my phone is breaking can't push the Internet button any more it don't work but ill look at them an see how I can work one into the building I'm doing lol

GBB can be pretty quick and is a hair kicker.

Great pics, I assume there's a wide "underground" world of Tarantula owners just like snake owners. And when you meet it's all you can talk about. :D

Good to know! :) They are very pretty though.

On another note: My fiancé has forbidden me to get a T. Lol. She thinks the snakes are bad enough. You should have seen her face when I mentioned I was considering it. :P

Haha but they are soooo cool.

She probably wouldn't even notice it for months if I put it in the snake room...lol.

Nope especially a sling, you could pretty much hide it anywhere lol.

Enablers! Lol. :P But that's a good idea Chris...;)

Isn't an enabler just another word for supportive friend ;)

Just do it. What she doesnt know wont hurt her. Also, ancient wiseman say: It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission. :gj:

Kelly Swift has some great pics on his page.

I looked on Jamie's site the orange baboon is sweet and affordable hmm lol how those make for a first ??

OBTs are nick named orange bitey thing, because they are very prone to bite. Also they are fast as hell. But they are very hardy. And very cool looking. I'm sure you would be fine with one as your first T, just be careful.

Yea, can't wait lol

Have you ever had an OBT act completely arboreal? Mine has webbed itself a nice little hammock in the top corner of its enclosure and doesn't come down.

I have never seen my bigger OBT touch the ground. The only evidence I have seen is when his water bowl has been moved some. (but this can be done from the web)

I don't know if I would call it arboreal or look at it more as they just like to live in a network of webbing.
My smaller OBTs have their webbing on the ground and have made tunnels in the soil.

I honestly think my P.irminia and OBT have switched their spirits with one another. OBT is at the top of the cage and the P.irminia is burrowed all the way to the bottom of its enclosure.
