Ametan's Picture Thread

[ametan]

I currently care for 3 tarantulas. I say 'care' for because my husband technically owns 1. I hope for many more to come. One deal is in the works and I've had my eye on another. Now I just need the money.

This is Barbara. Our Grammastola Rosea. 3-15-2010

Aphonopelma sp. New River Rust Rump 'unnamed'

This tiny thing is my New River sling.

Grammostola Pulchra 'unnamed'

And here's my baby. My Grammostola Pulchra sling.

 

[Mattyb]

Nice start. I need to get myself a G.pulchra.

 

[Abby]

Beautiful babies

 

[ametan]

Thanks. I was originally going to buy a juvenile b emilia, but once I saw the parent G pulchra my mind was changed.

Finally got around to uploading some new pics. Not the greatest, but they work. If anyone has some suggestions for a simple mid-price-range digital camera that takes great macros, let me know.

First up we have Barbara, my husband's G Rosea. I tried offering her a superworm and it did nothing for her appetite, just sort of scared the crap out of her.

My baby who is a g pulchra sling finally molted for me and is looking fabulous. No name yet.

So pretty and fluffy now.



And then we have 'Jan Morrow', my little interior decorator. She finally came out so I grabbed pics while I could and redid her enclosure so I wouldn't have to worry about her stone hide falling on her. She's my newest and is a 4" Female G pulchra.

Her first decorating job: (She not only covered the entrance, she then dug tunnels underneath each set of stairs)

My fat butt little decorator needs a bath after all that construction.

And no, that is not my arm. I took pics while my husband held her. I'm better than he is with the camera (for what that's worth) and I'm still terrified I'll drop her.

Yeah, it's nice watching the little spiderling grow, but I had to have the big mama as well.

Got myself a new addition. C cyaneopubescens. And boy is it a pissy little thing, kicked left and right while going into its new home.

Taken by the seller:

And upon arrival in its tissue paper nest:

I am immensly jealous of your larger G.pulchra! I believe you said my sling and yours were sacmates? Mine's been growing a little slower then yours. I think just once in my care back in February or beginning of March.

Adorable little C cyaneopubescens. Wouldn't guess it's a little crazy by that pick. Looks scared out of it's mind. I love that little pose. "Don't hurt me /o\"

I know. lol That's why it scared the crap out of me when it started kicking like mad. I was thinking, "Oh, poor little thing," when it went crazy on me. Because of the coloring and it's temperament I'm thinking of naming it The Ultimate Warrior.

My pulchra sling eats like mad. It's only molted the once for me, but it's so much prettier now. Once it's been a week or so since the molt, I'm going to measure again. I had to have the adult pulchra when I saw it, but I have to admit it's much cooler to watch the little one grow and change. (Although my feeling on that may change once I see her molt )

My little guy is, but big mama hasn't eaten for weeks. I'm anxiously awaiting her molt, but she seems in no hurry.

 

[lovebug]

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

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?
