Texas Blonde's tarantula pics

[Texas Blonde]

I came back with a bunch of stuff from Arachnocon, so I decided to make a thread. Of course, my new Canon 8.0mp digital SLR doesnt hurt. Just wait until I get that macro lense!

This is my new Xenethsis immanis, thanks go Bill at TPB.

Here are some pics of my massive Pterinochilus murinus. I had no appreciation for this species until I actually saw mine. It was funny, I bought 20 murinus slings 3 years ago, then got rid of them all. Over spring break one of my slings came back to me. I couldnt believe this beast was one of my babies.

Chowing down on a large Eublaberus prosticus nymph.

This is my female Aphonopelma chalcodes I caught last year at ATS. I was the only person to find a T on the collecting trip I went on. And I didnt even have a flashlight, lol, just the light from my cell phone.

Of course, the classic Grammostola rosea. I had this one as a sling 3 years ago, at the same time as the OBT. She came back to me at the same time too.

Ceratogyrus bechuanicus. Yet another of the revolving spiders. I cant really complain though, I sent them out as slings, and they came back as big females.

She reared up so high, she fell over.

Those are great pics, I think a couple should go in the arachnoboards best of collection. I like the orange monster eating the orange monster and the C. bech falling backwards the best. hahahahaha

Got a new girl at the petstore today. I wasnt planning on buying anything, but she was just too gorgeous to pass up. They had her labled as a rose hair, but she lacks the typical pink carapace and mirror patch. I couldnt get a good pic of her with my ruler, but when shes stretched out walking, shes every bit of 6". Fat too! (Gravid maybe....)

Size comparison. Unfortunatly, I have no money so I couldnt use a bill to compair her to.

Check out the beautiful long hairs on her chelicera.

I like big butts and I cannot lie.....
