Yeah you did! :banana: :spid0r: :cake:

Right on brother! Very nice little spider, hope you get some little ones down the road!

no i won.....oooops wrong thread

super niiiice spider, congrats :sweeet:

She has a GREAT head pattern, and although I prefer low-whites, I know most people fawn over high-white. Yours has it. lol

Everyone else is saying, "You could do some serious breeding now" but I'm thinking, "With that pattern I could do some amazing photography." -lol-

REALLY nice Spider!
Congrats! Looks awesome. Makes me want one now!

Ohh pretty babies in store hopefully;) Pretty babies that you can just send on over to me to help you out with;)

Very nice!!!! how is her behavior so far?

*Bonus Update*

I decided, since it was feeding day for Vincent, I'd try and feed the new guy, as It's been a week since he ate. Took him about 15 minutes, but the rat finally crossed the wrong path.

Also, Vincent was having a hard time striking his rat. He kept bouncing off. The rat pooped and peed in the prescent tub so I had to wash it off, it was NASTY. Anyway, Vincent wasn't eating, so I put the rat in a cardboard box and left it in the tank.

I went to check on the new guy, and while I was waiting, I heard a loud squeal in the other room. I ran in, and Vincent was hanging on the edge of the box, (about 6 inches tall) and had the rat all wrapped up. Kinda looked like a green tree python. I checked to make sure the rat couldn't bite him, he couldn't so I left them alone.

Crazy! lol.

Nice pick-up, I never get sick of looking at spiders.

Nice spider! I hope to get one this year too! Spiders rock!:salute:

Hell yeah they do!

I love spiders Great pick up. I have many animals from Jon, spider too.

You did not burn yourself by holding that little smoker in your hand now did you? :O Nice looking animal and as a bonus, I hear they are pigs too :D

No fair your ball is bigger than mine!! :P. I picked up the female spider from Jon and she's an absolute pig. She was only 150 grams when I got her. Since I got her two weeks ago shes taken 4 rat pups for me. From the looks of it she will be my new garbage disposal.

Mine has eaten 1 time. The day I got him, and he hasn't eaten since. I don't EVER take him out, temps 92 on hot side, 81 on cool side, humidity is a nice 55%. Still nothing! I'm not sure what's going on, but i'm going to keep trying.

Maybe he's getting ready to go into shed? I have a female that does that about 3-4 days before she starts turning blue. I have a few BP's from Jon and they are all pigs.

Yeah, I talked to Jon and he thought it was odd. I'm using a big tank, probably bigger than he would like, So i'm going on friday to get a bunch of stuff to fill it up with, so he feels more secure.
