Received another gorgeous gal this morning, as well as a subadult male a couple days ago. Should be molting anytime soon! :D

The girlies new home


Bet it feels good to walk on dirt after shipping!



MAYBE NOT!!!!

She came about 2" too close to nailing my hand that was resting on the top of the tank. :rolleyes: Bad mistake

Guess she didnt like her photo shoot!


Here is the 4" male! Hes so cute!

Nice male and female! Just wondering.... how big is the female? Also how quick do males grow compared to females? Great tarantulas! I have a sling.:)

Sweet!! I thought that looked like her! I'm glad to hear she made it o.k. to you. Everytime I ship one out I get paranoid and start worrying if I added enough packing, padding, did I put the right zip on the label...:confused: I'm the guy that never worries about anything too, my wife worries enough for the both of us{D . When I ship that box out though and I know that the safe delivery is out of my hands, I start sweatin'!
Wait, did you say 9"?!!!! I've never seen a crawshayi that big, whoa! I knew mine (well, yours now) still had some growing left but I thought they usually top out at around 8".
Must be somthin' in that Oklahoma water!

Thanks, but I can't take credit for raising that beast. She was already 6" when I brought her home!:D Now Austin is gonna add a few more inches to her and hopefully, a few big, heaping, healthy eggsacs!
