Any New Additions?

[Deb60]

Very excited today to get an M . Robustum , and few weeks ago I got a female A. Geniclata . Very different for me as I’m a great collector of the smaller or dawrf Ts . It’s easy to get away with seeking in a new tiny T , but with these two I pretended they where two I’d already had that needed upgrading to a bigger set up

Unboxed a beautiful B. emilia today. Very happy with my latest addition!

Finally got a couple of cobalt blue slings and now my Haplopelma collection is complete.

Traded my MM "pumpkin patch" back to the breeder which I got him from as a tiny sling. Picked up a C. versicolor and a P. Cambridgei in return.

If you want to see it as an adult, you could also start to plan your golden wedding anniversary already.

But great choices altogether!

Haha I know! She has another sp. Red sling already, so she's aware of the time commitment lol

Got a package with a female and my first couple of slings in today:

Female G.pulchripes

Now on to the slings:
A.geniculata

P.Irminia

H.gigas (got this one as an unexpected freebie, so had to read up quickly on behaviour/husbandry before rehousing.)

And the one I´m most excited about (please be female!):

Harpactira pulchripes

I´m super happy right now. Finally got an A.geniculata (ordered one about a month ago that was doa unfortunately), all the others arrived healthy as well and I basically got my dream-T with the H.pulchripes. Also pretty excited about the freebie H.gigas! Rehousings went extremely smooth. The only little bit of "resistance" came from the G.pulchripes lady, that didn´t hesitate to kick some hair at me . But after giving her some time to cool off and rehousing another sling in the meantime, she was cooperating like a charm as well . Pictures aren´t that great, but I was focused more on getting them safely into their new homes.

After years of convincing myself that I wasn't interested in keeping this genus once versicolor were reclassified, I finally couldn't resist any longer when I saw this juvenile female on a dealer's website.

0.1.0 ~2.5" Avicularia metallica

0.1.0 Juvenile Avicularia

• Arachnophoric
• Apr 26, 2018
• 13
• avicularia avicularia avicularia pinktoe tarantula

My first Avic! :) ~2.5" - Ebriatas, Daughter of the Cosmos

In her enclosure - dry substrate with a good sized water dish, a decent amount of cross ventilation and a cork bark slab fixed with several pieces of plastic foliage to use as anchor points for webbing. The cork bark is positioned in a way that there's a small chamber behind it she can outfit into a hide of sorts.

It is indeed.
Hopefully it will molt soon!

Unfortunately not likely to get any T’s anytime soon. My wife tried to get over her fear a couple of years ago by getting herself some and picked them by looks not temperament.
So she got herself such great first time T’s like three OBTs and a great horned baboon .
Great for me but kind of put her off T’s for the immediate future haha

Oh dear what a shame , I wonder what she’d be like with a dawrf T , such as the C Elegans. I’ve found a lot of people that don’t actually like T s will very often be ok with this one as they are colourful, small and cute .

She was terrified of T’s before this but as we used to breed and sell reptiles she would freak out just walking past the T vendors. She has gotten past that phase now so I’m sure with time she might be ok. She wanted Scorpions in the house now which is a big step in the right direction.

I'm not sure whether to rate this funny or sad, lmao.

I have a spare room unused and full of wood off of the garage with no direct door to the house maybe if I can clear out the wood and relocate the black widows I can set it up as a man cave and get some more and not tell her lmao.

These are the little cuties I picked up from the expo today:

0.0.1 Cyriocosmus elegans


0.0.1 Cyriocosmus ritae


0.0.1 Caribena versicolor

The little guy started webbing already, it took him/her only 1 1/2 hour to construct this:


And last on the list is my little Thrixopelma cyaneolum sling, that I already named: Forest Gump! Because (s)he was quite the runaway. Took me half an hour and a lot of sweat to convince him/her to finally move into its new home.

And then (s)he wasn't even willing to pose for a picture.
