Congrats on the E.o. additions Joyce, wonderful spiders!

Thanks, Michael. I'm really excited about them. IMO, they are the Holy Grail runners up, next to Harpactira pulchripes.

...next to Harpactira pulchripes.

One day I'll own a couple of these. It must happen!

Some really good looking babies you got there!!

-Happy keeping!

Some really great shots there Joyce, and I can't wait till my E.o.s get that big! Even as little slings they quickly turned into one of my faves.

Thanks. Michael. I think it was some of your pictures, or maybe Chad's, that convinced me I still had a shortage in my collection... These guys/gals are great! Fantastic webbers! Secretive, but not so much that I can't get the occasional picture.

G. rosea/porteri MF




G. rosea sling

 

[Shrike]

Gotta love good old G. rosea. Mine is the tarantula I've had longest and she's a beauty. Is your sling growing at the speed of mud?

 

[Formerphobe]

N. tripepii getting a drink.

P. muticus was getting a drink for what seemed like hours. When I opened the enclosure, she started frantically rummaging around in the bowl as though she had lost something. Wish I'd had a video. LOL

What happens when you play in the dirt after playing in the water.

"Speed of mud", yep, that would about describe it, Matt. LOL In almost two years she has gained about an inch, maybe not quite an inch.

Female LP

Homoeomma sp blue Peru female post molt stretching out the end of her cork round.

First post molt meal.

Juvenile female P. met leaped from her enclosure to snatch her first post molt meal out of the tongs. Guess she was hungry...

Summertime = molting time. Gotta love it, right?
