I love naming my Ts!!!

I think it's fun naming them...though I currently only have 12...so maybe if I had 50 I'd think differently!

I give them names that suit regardless of gender though I generally (with one exception) assume they're girls!

A.Avic - Gracie
My first and I loved how graceful she was
G.Pulchra - Tricks
Crazy loon who could trip over a pattern in the substrate!
A.Versi - Comet
This sling was a streak of sparkle which shot out of the canister when I first opened it.
A.Versi - Murtle
After Moaning Murtle from Harry Potter, used to sit in at the bottom of her vial being miserable...then maulted to be more like Comet!!!
B.Vagans - Ruby
Little red gem
B.Vagans - Chaos
Stubborn little sling that took me FORREVER to get into the vial, it was all over the place - determined to avoid going in!!!
B.Smithie - Bisto
Eddie Izzard - Bees make honey? Do earwigs make chutney? Do spiders make gravy?
A.Purpurea - Iona
Purple flower.
A.Purpurea - Dotty
Funny little sling that pounces on imaginary cricks.
A.Purpurea - Geoff
The most chilled Avic I have EVER seen! Great name which also means 'peaceful'.
B.Bohemi - Maple
Autumn coloured T.
B.Bohemi - Jaffa
Sweet little orange!!!

So there ya go...completely girly and totally 'un-specimine' like but I care not they're my gals (or poss lads)!!! ;P

My spiders are Named Tiamat, Cocoa, and Creole. A G. aureostriatum, G. Pulchra, and A. versicolor, respectively.

 

[Hoffy]

I used to have cobalt named Skippy but I had to get rid of him because "it was too aggresive to have in dorms" so I gave him to a friend of mine who lives off campus.

Now I just have my E. campestratus, named Happy Birthday. It's a long story, it has nothing to do with my birthday or anyone else. But so yeah-
