Tarantulas and Spiders

[3skulls]

Had my T ockerti out today, and no hair flicks (a rarity)!



Also.... fun with bottle caps and a very patient G rosea the other day. A family found this rosea in their house, a month after moving in, cruising around in their closet





So difficult not to just try and buy every tarantula I come across x.x So many I still want!

Wait, they just found it walking around? That's awesome!!
Yes I try to keep myself from getting more. I'll go threw a phase where I'll grab a bunch up then try to hold off.

Now I want millipedes.

I had a bumblebee millipede ones. Adorable critters (my boyfriend gagged when I told him this, haha!). I'm not afraid of much, but centipedes give me the willies! They are certainly neat, but there are many other more dangerous animals out there I'd rather interact with currently.

Yep.. family just found the thing walking across the floor of their closet. Haha. My ex at the time still worked at Petco, which is how I ended up with it. Family called in, surprisingly calm, asking what to do. they were instructed how to capture it (not knowing the species over the phone I think makes the family extra brave), and they brought it in. This poor rosea is so tolerant. Also the first spider I did a pinch grab of. Will try to get more photos With the botle cap photo at one point he climbed upside down on my hand then (excuse the anthropomorphism) apparently had the realization that roseas do not typically climb. I righted my hand and this guy still sat holding on extra tight as if it didn't realize it was OK to move again. Needed a bit of extra coaxing before he walked off as if on cracking ice over a lake, or somebody climbing a ladder who looks down after being told 'Don't look down!'... very very tentatively, and holding extra tight with every foot available!

Yeah centipedes still freak me out some. I have 2 local ones in my collection. Saw one chewing on a roach yesterday.

Yes your family was brave. :p most people freak out over a little house spider and they are hunting Ts.

Damn, they all came in on the same day!!!

Did some good cookin at work yesterday. What's on the menu?
Boiled and baked leaves with a side of baked oak.



Made an awesome mix for my millipedes and isopods. This wood was nice and chewed up.


My mix.
Aspen
Rotten Oak
Leaf Litter
Coconut Fiber
Pinch of Vermiculite
Pinch of Perlite

Gave this girl a new home and placed some new friends in with her.


Also grabbed some more snails today.


And fed the little baby wolf spiders their first meal, Fruit Flies. (I hate fruit flies)


Can you tell that I'm in a heavy bug phase :o

If I feed tonight ill snap some pics

The Tarantula Keepers Guide is thick and very detailed. Just flipping through it looks like a ton of info. For $12-$15 I would go ahead and grab a copy.
