For Love of Gods Jeff I know now where they will film sequel to "Arachnophobia"

I wish to have ball big enough to keep one of them

So where Exactly you live... So I can never go even near that city??

That impressive collection

Just of curiosity.....How much cost to feed all that Spiders ??

well hell, my condolences. shame to have such an anticipated birthday arrival tainted by delays and injuries. hopefully (she) will recover after the molt. keep us posted.

Thanks!!! Her leg should start to regenerate after the next molt and it has the full molt cycle to grow back now and she is not an adult which means she has quite a few more times to molt still so she should be as good as new pretty quickly

Good to hear they're all there, but I'm sorry to hear about the Haplopus sp. Columbia is it from a seller you usually go to? She may have a useable leg after this molt and be cripple-free by the next (or she might molt it off and start anew with the leg), but if she's already molting to regenerate, then my first thought is that maybe she was injured before shipping?

Good luck with all the new additions, and my condolences for the downer birthday present

Thanks Alexa!!! It is from a good seller that I go to and she is backed 100% in case anything happens. But I don't want a different one as I am already attached to this one and it was sold as unsexed so a new one could be a male you know. This one should be ok. The leg is gone but like I said above luckily it has this full molt cycle to start to regenerate and she is not an adult so plenty of molts left!!

phew, thats a whole box of scarey for me!
I cant wait until you post pictures I do like the pretty colored ones!

Sorry to hear about the mishap with the pumpkin.

Happy Birthday anyways!

Thanks!!!!!!!

Congrats and happy birthday!

Thank you Julie!!!!!!

That's really beautiful, sorry about the leg though.

Thanks!!! She looks waaaaay better now that she molted!!! She is webbed up in her hide though. I can see in there but can't get any good pics.

Thanks Raf!!! I am moving to New York soon I breed B. dubia roaches (and while it is easy I really, really don't like doing it and would love to cut them out) but some of my T's are picky. Some only like the roaches, some only super worms and some only crickets (and some a couple different things). So I have to buy crickets and super worms still. But I mean I might spend $6 a week or something like that on supplement feeders?

wow that pumpkin patch one looks wiked cool! Is it normal for them to molt right after a shipment like that or was that not really planned??

What are you getting?

I should be getting a male lesser (that I will pair up with my femal mojave in a few years) and a female pinstripe.. there's also talk about getting a female pastel if we see one that is just gorgeous enough that we cant pass it up.... but im really picky about pastel coloring so I don't think that will happen... but im really excited to get the other 2.

Also I tried handling my B. emilia today... didn't go too well (dropped her on the bed... not far of a fall though so hopefully she will be ok ) I will give her some time to make sure she's ok and i want to try again... I don't know why I was so scared tho... yesterday I was fine handling my friend's G. pulchra and rosea... and they were wayy bigger than my lil baby.... hopefully i will get over that silly fear soooon

Thanks!! And no it is not a good idea to do or normal for them to molt durring or right after shipping but some times you can't tell it's going to happen and accidents happen. If it molts before shipping you need to give it like a week to harden up before shipping so no injuries occur.

You can't go wrong with a nice male lesser and female pinstripe And a nice female pastel with good adult colors is definitely worth it's weight in gold if you can find one!!

I very rarely handle any of my T's personally as I see no point in it. BUT I can see the fascination with people wanting to do so. I am quite sure you will over come your fear in time Just be careful
