So the H. triseriatus molted 4 days after it came home, also happened to be the first molt for us, just a month after starting to keep tarantulas. Then on August 6th, I came home to a molting hammock and a freshly molted B. boehmei. I can't believe the size difference on both of them, carapace...

Newest acquisition, I was sold as Hapalopus triseriatus, under the common dwarf lemon patch. I have been watching the two slings that they had when I got the boehmei but were both so tiny before they molted. Still pretty tiny, but awesome looking slings. Picked the bigger of the two they had, I...

@boina Thanks so much, I appreciate your input! Even if she is older than the seller stated, the price was ridiculously low as she needed to sell to move to the other end of Canada. Either way, your age input leads me to believe that the lack of hooks would likely suggest that our first full...

@Arachnophoric another user suggested porteri in my photo thread as well. Appreciate your input/vote!

I've had her for about a week. in the 5-6 year old range. Seller's child dumped her on mom 4 years back and convinced her to sell instead of flush. Was bought as a sling as Chilean rose, but I'm brand new to Ts and red green color deficient too, Opinions please?

Those colors are just amazing... Great shots!

Thankfully, climbing walls and the cover ceased when I gave her dry substrate. But I agree that acrylic/plexi top would work well as bowing should be minimal thanks to the low humidity. Although with the price of plexi around here, a sheet of glass might be way cheaper, and I've cut many a hole...

The 100 was just the adult Chilean with the exo terra & supplies, but still was a great deal. The sling was from the pet shop @ 39.99, which didn't seem horrible as my only price comparisons were TarCan & Arachnophiliacs... Thanks for the 10 G tank suggestion, I have one put aside to house "big...

So the night after we surprised the wife with her Mexican fireleg, I was trolling the online classifieds for a new aquarium. Decide to throw "tarantula" into the search box and find a crazy awesome deal only about an hours drive away. Turns out this really nice lady had this tarantula for the...

I should mention that the boehemi is a new species, I recently discovered resting on the hemi engine of some guy named Bo... I apparently am capable of italicizing properly, but incapable of spelling. :facepalm:

Hi All! Have been lurking for a while and finally made an account. Far more excitingly, just got our first (and second) tarantulas. On July 6th, my daughter and I surprised my wife with a cute little Brachypelma boehemi that we found as we were shopping at our LFS. My wife obviously has named...

Wife and I had been watching you tube feeding videos a la Exotics Lair, and the topic of maybe getting one came up... Researched for a few weeks... Last Friday: Took daughter to favorite LFS that occasionally has Ts in their exotics section and brought home a ~1" B. Boehemi as a surprise for...

Calmar, Alberta over here, hook me up please :)

Hi from Calmar, Alberta Getting interested in acquiring some T's and it's so much easier to lurk and observe when you are a member... Been reading for a while and of course find a group ship coming to my way next week through Tarantula Canada... Seriously debating a beginner spider or two...
