    6 new H. Maculatas!!!

    On Sunday I ordered two Egyptian scorpions from Swift Inverts. However, me being the indecisive person that I am I changed my order to five H. Macs at ½ inch. I was very anxious and what made it even worse was the fact Monday was a holiday so I had to wait three days. Finally the mail man dropped them off at my job because that's where I wanted them sent to lol. I've always wanted some of these but never got any because of their teleport/aggressive reputation. Finally gave in years later and they sent me a freebie so I have six in all. They are doing well I keep them in little deli cups in a closet and check on them twice a day. I plan to breed these tarantulas to try out the project.

    I love H. maculata, but they scare the jeebus out of me. Any OWT does for that matter. I've heard these guys pack quite a punch even for an OWT. Maybe someday I will man up and get one too.

    Do you have any pics to share? We love pictures!

    these pics were taking with an OK camera phone I'll take better ones after they molt. as far as water goes can I just get a small spray bottle and mist one side of the deli cup that the spiders arent on? or should I mist it all except the spider its self?
