Got a Poecilotheria ornata yesterday. She's a decent size, DLS probably like 6" or somewhere around there. She is unbelievably docile and the rehouse was the smoothest one I've ever had. Can't ever get complacent; that's how accidents happen... but I'm seriously still in a state of disbelief over how calm she was. I do think that Poecilotheria in general don't totally deserve their bad reputation, but this girl was moving like a Grammostola rosea... in slow motion.

I actually had my phone set up recording the rehouse but it messed up and stopped around 30 seconds in, missing all the action, if you could even call it that. It's a bummer because at one point I incredulously asked her, "Are you even a Pokie?!"

That’s awesome!!! I have a P. Metallica sling coming next week and I’m SUPER EXCITED about it!! Shame you couldn’t get video! Good luck with her!

first attempt at a fun thread.. ;)

picked up some new spiders recently, namely my A aurantiaca and i'm planning on getting some more next week. 2 1" P cancerides, 1 3/4" A sp columbia and 1 3" 0.1 Nhandu tripepi.

very excited for the N tripepi, I've been interested in one for a little while and am ecstatic at finding a female for a good price.

this is meant to be a sort of who molted today kind of thread, lets see if we can make it go anywhere.. post whatever new additions youve got incoming or recently acquired below :)
I got a G.porteri a few months ago, and I’m looking looking at a C.versicolor

“BCL” was supposed to be “BCF” — I’m on new meds folks lmao

2x Augacephalus ezendami slings, 3x Heterothele gabonensis slings, 1 Idiothele mira female - this puts me at 101 Tarantula species. My original, crazy, goal was to have 100 species. I have a order coming in that includes 4 new species, after that I doubt if I will be getting any more (unless something new and amazing shows up in the US market like, say, cb Birupes simoroxigorum - never say never :rolleyes:)

It was my birthday month, so I couldn't pass up cashing in on that and placing an order top PFT to take advantage of their birthday specials.

0.0.1 Pterinochilus murinus Kigoma DCF
0.0.1 Pterinochilus chordatus "Mastov"

And as the birthday surprise, recieved not ONE but the TWO following freebies;

0.0.1 Selenocosmia sp. "ebony"
0.0.1 Phormingochilus sp. "rufus"

Safe to say I'm very pleased with my order. :D

Just picked up a 3" Davus pentaloris. Unfortunately it's definately male, I'm hoping I at least get more than one molt before it matures.
