Ametan's Picture Thread

[ametan]

Thanks for the compliments guys!

Your G. pulchra spiderling looks well fed and plump. I like slings that way.

Yeah. That creeped me out. I feel like I need to protect them from religious bug-eaters now. :}

lol What a neat idea for a name. I can't even imagine one of mine kicking and screaming going into the container. I got a B.smithi sling and it clinged for dear life to my finger. I poked it's hide legs, poked and rubbed it's abdomen and it just completely refused to move! Now it won't sit still anytime I get near it.

I know exactly what you mean. I'm starting to get that way as well. I'm going to a reptile show next weekend, and if they don't have any versis there, I'm definately getting one right afterwards, and any time I see a good pulchra deal, I'm all over it like a fat kid on free cake! May I ask where you got your big mama?

Yeah I wasn't putting my finger near that one. I'd read they're pretty skittish and rather iffy on temperament otherwise, so I used a chopstick.

I may be getting an avic sling soon. (Fingers crossed) My husband hasn't said anything directly about the amount of Ts I have yet, but he keeps looking at me sideways. He loves the adult pulchra, though. I got her from Dave Grimm at theinvertshop.com. He had her listed here on the boards but not in his shop. It was expensive, but I couldn't help myself.

Yeah that's how my vagans was. Pretty much dove out of the shipping container when I got it.. Now my smithi and vagans have switched personalities.

I'm hoping to find some good pulchras, versis, or other calmer species I don't have yet! They're all rather fascinating and pretty in their own ways.

As you can see from my signature, my dad's saying no more. I asked for one, got 4 before he knew what was going on, and have 10 once I get the 3 I already have to my name. He says I'm at my limit.. but if I can sneak in more..!

Some new guys 4-7-10

Thanks to an extremely generous member of the boards, I've got some new guys to show off.


I'm calling these two Avicularias Thing 1 and Thing 2. Thing 2 is not doing so hot, but I'm hoping he'll get better.

Thing 1:

Thing 2:

And my feisty new P scrofa. This guy is fast and fearless:

 

[ametan]

Have to put it somewhere

I'm really relieved. May not be out of the woods yet, but early this morning Thing 2 was in a curl. S/he has been out of ICU for about 3 hours now and seems to be well. :clap: Where's that Orson Welles gif when you need it?

 

[Redneck]

Hope Thing 2 pulls through for ya..

Those little P. scrofa slings are something else.. Mine is crazy.. Thinks its a H. lividum or something..

*Edit* I forgot to mention.. Great shots!

Thanks Tommy! S/he is a feisty one. Nowhere near my GBB, but we'll wait and see what happens when it gets bigger. I'm sure the attitude will grow with it.

I actually need to find a new camera to buy. I've had this one almost 5 years now and it's starting to have a mind of its own. Changes itself to a day ahead or a day behind. Weird stuff like that. It's also not focusing as well. It's just so hard to find a digital that takes nice macros but doesn't cost more than $150.

I know thats the truth.. I spent almost $400 on my last point & shoot digital camera.. It was the best camera I have ever had..

Sadly.. I took it with me to the four wheeler park.. My buddy had it in his pocket.. Rolled the four wheeler he was on.. Got cought underneath the four wheeler.. Almost drowned.. First thing that ran through my head was.. Crap.. He has my camera in his pocket..

Arrr. Keep on seeing GBB at this site. Now I'm wanting one hehe. For the superworm maybe you should just lop off its head before feeding the T. Haven't try feeding one to my C.Shioedtei, but a normal sized worm freaks the hell out of my 3instar scorp.

 

[Ariel]

Nice collection. That G. pulchra is gorgeous!!!

 

[PsychoSpider]

Great Pulchra shots,love 'em.I had a chance to get a sling at a show today but got a 3.5 inch A. Moderatum for like 40 dollars instead, couldn't believe it when I heard the price.

I always crush their heads before putting them in the T enclosure.

Thanks. She is my buried treasure right now. Been a while since I've seen her, but hopefully she'll molt soon then.

Moderatums are pretty. Looking into one of those myself. You need to get that pulchra sling, though. By far has the most personality out of the slings I've got.

LOL! I know I should get it over with and just spend the extra, but that's a lot of Ts I could buy...

That takes me back 2 Superworm Days...

When I would tell them: I am CRUSHING your Head! {kids-N-the-hall}

Have a Good 1 - J

Haha! How did you know I did this? I've also considered naming a few of them Dave so that I could sing them the "Daves I know" song.

I'm not sure when your G.pulchra lady molted, but seeing as how your sig says "last night", I'm going to congratulate you.

Congratulations! I bet she's super stunning.

Thanks! It actually was last night. Changed the sig today. It's only the first day and I'm already going crazy waiting for her to come out so I can have the big reveal.

Craptastic

Jan Morrow who a few months ago became Elvira has died while trying to become an Elvis unexpectedly. "She" was halfway out of a molt with hooks declaring her a MM.

Stuck in molt picture here.

And the hooks:

I'll miss you Elvira/Elvis. You were the first large T I manned up enough to hold and the prettiest one I've owned.

I've also really got to start posting pictures again apparently...

My sling has also sealed itself up with the substrate, at least I know it's not the only one.
