My Third and Fourth Tarantulas - A. hentzi and H. maculata (Baby Pics!!)

[nakazanie]

Hi all.

My third and fourth tarantulas came in the mail today. It was a bunch of firsts: first time getting tarantulas in the mail, first non-G. rosea and first spiderling. I got a female A. hentzi (Dorothy) and an H. maculata s'ling. :clap:

The first thing that my A. hentzi did was get a drink of water. Then she climbed and fell. She's OK, though. She seems a bit nervous. Here is a pic.

And the H. mac. OMG, it's so cute! That little guy/gal is all fangs! It's like being a first time dad again.

1/16" scale.

Thanks! I have heard some say that the Okie Brown is a bit drab! :? I think their colors are gorgeous.

COol. Have fun with the H. mac. I really want one of those... ok maybe not just one.

Thanks! Yes, I am so excited. I got them from Mark (aka Zeus9699), whom I highly recommend, and all his tarantula sales go back into his animal education program.

I just watched the baby eat. It was the first time that I had ever seen a s'ling eat. WOW! The s'ling is about 9/16" and the crickets are about 1/2". The s'ling has taken two down in 5 hours. It kinda digs it fangs in and wrestles and sorta rides the cricket!

Thanks! Yes, someday when all of these captive breeding projects come to fruition, I think they will catch on as an "intro" spider. That would be cool. But they take like, what, 8 years to mature?

They are just beautiful. Are any of yours aggressive? Mine is skittish, but never has been defensive with me. I am waiting to handle her, though, till she gets settled in.

Thanks! Photography is how I conquered my fear of bugs. It made me get close to them!

Already, just watching the little bugger (bad pun intended) run ALL over its enclosure is great. You should get one. I have seen them a few places for $5.

They're a little skittish, like when I move the container, they will run around.

Once they are out of their container though, they are absolute teddy bears!
