Tarantulas and Spiders

[3skulls]

Thanks for sharing!
That one next to the dime looks like a crab spider. And look at those glowing eyes!

I have one OBT at home thats around 2" now. The webbing is amazing. I'll get some pics of it and the new ones.

I catch and release most of them but keep a few each year. When my females lay sacs, I'll keep them until the babies are ready to leave the mom.

I tried to do mantids this year but turned out to be a disaster.


Here are a few random pics




Lynx, these are pretty cool.

My wife is the bug person in our house. She has had 2 male rose hairs for a couple years. She just got a Fringed Ornate sling and an OBT sling a couple of weeks ago. She also has several species of roaches she is quite proud of. Of course the dubias for feeders, death heads, orange heads, six spots and a couple others. She also has some beetles she calls blue death feigning beetles. When they get scared they "die" for a few minutes. Only problem is, she has them so tame they won't "die" anymore!

Post some pics!

Oh found this pic on my phone, bored at work.

Ornithoctonus aureotibialis


Can't find a ton if info on it. Lots of different common names.

My male Avic avic before he passed away.

Man that thing is huge!
Roaches used to gross me out but I really enjoy raising them.

6 new OBTs


Flipped open a lid to take a look, he ran out and under the top of the desk.


I caught him. Haha.


My older one.

Those things sure put the webs out!

She has made a round tunnel around the top. It's super thick and she can get from one side to the other in no time. :p

Found some cool little jars called Lock-Ups. They interlock and stack. Transferred the OBTs into them.

Those look nice, where'd you find them?

Hobby Lobby.
They had a few different sizes.
