Finally have some decent pics to share of my tarantulas.

I have 10 Ts at present, 2 more slings are scheduled to arrive on Wed. I'll start off with my Brachypelma boehmei, Mexican Fireleg - Conchita Lolita Taranchula.


This one is of my Poecilotheria metallica, Shimmer T. Will try to get more of this one later, it has grown since this was taken.

And here is my Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, Greenbottle Blue - Raecine Le Rainbow Spider.

Now for my very fast growing Lampropelma violaceopes, Malaysian Blue - Miss Sassy Volosaraptor. This was the first sighting out I had of it since getting it about a month ago. It was 1 1/2" then.

The next two are of my Avicularia versicolor & my Avicularia avicularia. They are both still small, the A.avic is really small & hard to get pics of.


This is my Grammostola pulchra, it is still small & a little hard to see in this pic.

My Psalmopoeus irminia, Venezuelan Sun Tiger refuses to come out in the open for a good pic. This one is of it's stomach, not very good.

That's all so far, I have 2 other Ts but no pics. ! is very tiny & stays hidden & my G. rosea is holed up preparing to molt.

Very nice collection! I love that B. boehmei, can't wait for mine to start to color up more.

love those first 2 then that first baby

never really caught the fever for them full scale yet i have had a few over the years started with a red knee then got a green bottle blue mine didn't have the markings on the back like yours but mine had a Lil brighter blue. now got a salmon pink bird eater (supposedly the worlds fastest grower from what I've read about them but that one of your there seems to of blown mine away in growth (or at least thats how it looks from the pix mine when got it in march was a sling now the size of my hand) the shop i got her from got one 2 months later and it is almost as small as it was when they got it.(love the way mine grows it literally has doubled in size after it sheds

also from what i noticed about mine is bigger cages stress it out massively almost had it starve to death on me when i tried to put it in a 10 gallon cage was in it almost a month and in that time always had to pick out dead uneaten crickets same amount i put in. put it back in it's old small tank and it took food right soon as they hit the floor for the biggest part it caught one as it was falling in it's cage could tell it was super hungry it had 1 cricket on each fang and trying to grab more

Thanks, I never thought I'd purposely bring spiders into my house either. Then one day while at the pet shop I just decided to buy the G. rosea they had. Tessa T started it all. The rest I have I ordered from 3 different breeders. Some of them really do grow fast & then I have a Coremiocnemis brachyramosa, Malaysian Blue Femur that was barely 1/8" when it arrived & now it might be 1/4" in 2 mo. of keeping it. I'm not sure just how big it is as it hasn't come out of it's tiny tunnel it made since it arrived. It eats way more than the other slings. I place a cut up piece of cricket in front of the tunnel & it disappears. My greenbottle blue is still a juvenile, so it should get more color the more it grows. Right now it is in it's web preparing to shed again. Maybe when it appears I can get another pic.
yeah, too large of an enclosure can have an affect on them. Whatever makes them happy & eating well is the key. There are many more I'd like to get. I like the colorful ones, some don't even look real, it's just awesome!

I love all avic. species, they are so bright in colour! Awesome collection, wish I still kept mine

I love your Boehmei, they are allot more attractive than Smithi's!
