H. maculata update

Their webbing is coming along beautifully and one is the psycho ("Windy", as my daughter names them, she's getting pretty good at the name thing) they are made out to be but the other is really laid back ("Cloud") with everything.

One of my H. macs molted and was seemingly cramped in the AMAC box it was in. This canister has a bit more room for me and the T to work in. I shouldn't have put so much substrate but oh well.

Christ... Sephiroth would kill someone named Fluffy with a single blow :) but uhm I assume Fluffy as a name per se it's great for a deranged, living in the cellar, obese sex offender maniac muahahah a la 'Dead Rising'.

Also I noticed Cloud, keep an eye about Omnislash :-s

That "Grammostola Porteri" is a Red Color Form or Grammastola Rosea.

Really? I see no red or pink but I'm also ignorant to these taxonomical differences. Is it because it's not overall brownish? The threads I've pulled up on this topic seem to open up cans of worms and DNA debates.

Look around the femurs in that pic. It's orangey/pink. I'm 99% sure that's a RCF just in need of a molt.
