Thanks!! You had a REALLY nice scorpion collection didn't you (I write had because I see you wrote had so you must not have a large collection any more)? It is interesting that you are creeped out by tarantulas but really like scorpions. I mean it makes sense obviously but my first quick thought is if someone likes one creepy crawly then they like them all if you know what I mean and that is definitely not always the case.

No is not.. I like scorpions... but Spiders give me shivers... especially big hairy ones...

yeah i had quite the collection. I had over 100 babies at one time...not counting the adults got in on some first time import stuff but sold it all off. i really got tired of the entire cricket thing and none of mine really ate meal worms. feeding and watering 100 babies take a while! especially when you can't leave the crickets in or they will eat the babies.

i think its the whole that spider can shoot up the container at me and scorpions can't. i had some semi arboreal species (Tityus) but they still couldn't climb the containers like arboreal Ts can.

I love the spazzy spiders! chill ones are nice, but the jumpy defensive ones are more exciting lol. Thanks for the pic, and it makes me think male too, but I suck at ventral sexing. I'm still waiting on a molt from mine... :/

My new X. immanis abdomen turned black today so we should be finding out the sex of it real soon!!!! Plus it will get all the cool hais back on it's butt

LOL - Nothing wrong with being creeped out by spiders!! I know a LOT of people who are. I had the biggest, burley kind of dudes let out screams for me to come get spiders the were confronted with when I worked at a concrete plant. It was very comical

It can be VERY time consuming when you get large numbers!!

And I HATE crickets!!! They are loud and smelly!!! But it's all I use currently - lol. I have been considering trying B. dubias but some T's just don't seem like them. I might give them a shot anyways. If they don't like them then I will stick with crickets. It wont hurt nothing to try. It would be nice to feed the big T's one adult dubia though as opposed to multiple crickets you know.

I know what you mean about the climbing T's. I think the P. regalis that bit RobC was hanging at the top of the container when he opened it and jumped out and bit him. He was JACKED up from that. Makes you a bit more cautioned when opening up or working in your pokey containers.

Awesome and very pretty! I only have 9 T's but do have about 170 baby A. versicolors in the "incubator".

Thanks!!! What 9 are you currently keeping? 2 of the 9 I would guess is a 1.1 A. versicolor - lol. And 170 Avicularia versicolor slings is AWESOME

Thank you, i'm currently looking into adding another adult female versi... (ssh, for free. Crossing my fingers...)

I have:
Female 3 inch A. versicolor
2 Female 3 inch G. rosea
Female 2 inch B. smithi
Female 2 inch B. vagans
Unsexed 1 1/2 inch G. pulchra
Unsexed 1 1/2 P. irminia
Unsexed A. avicularia sling
Unsexed P. chevronie (spelling?) sling

I have been lucky to get all ladies so far.

I like to stick to the less likely to bite T's and also the "not so dangerous" ones, lol! I have read though that P. irminia bites and Trinidad Chevron bites are pretty nasty though...

That's a really nice collection you got going on over there!!!! You need to get to posting some pics of them And a free versicolor female, that would be sweeeet!!! My luck usually stinks when getting unsexed T's unless the person is nice enough to send me ventral shots of the T beforehand (if it's big enough) - lol.
