How did the rehousing go?

Very smoothly it was only .5" so not difficult. And it ate a pinhead roach so it is settling in nicely.

My sons bday is coming up. He also is the one who got us into Ts. He will be 7, he wants a few different Ts ( I do too), and he wants a scorpion. One on his list Obt (wont be in his room) which I received today along with his Heterometrus Petersii.
Ah yes the rehousing. I was prepared, tub/enclosure on my desk. I popped the lid, slid the container of the 1.5 obt into the enclosure. Using tweezers, I pulled the paper towels out, removed the dram. I carefully enrolled the paper towels, basked in the glory of a new T, gently scooted the obt off the paper towels. I begin to lift the tissue out, poooof, magically it shoots out of the enclosure and over the walls of the tub (God damn olympian)straight under my desk..... I cant remember if I squealed.
I then have to poke around, move some wires, and it comes hurtling out at me like this is a robbery. So I quickly put my foot on him to hold his John McClane like moves in check, as I liberate the catch cup and safely return Mr McClane to his enclosure.
The scorpion was boring.

I got 3 tarantula slings about a month ago, a c. cyaneopubescens, g. pulchra, & a a. geniculata. Each one is about 1/2”. The GBB is a little bigger, maybe closer to 3/4'. They’ve been so easy (so far) to take care of & so much fun to check in on each day I decided to get another. So, last night I ordered a b. smithi. I haven’t kept tarantulas in years but my first one way back when I was 13 or 14 years old was a Mexican Red Knee. So, I have another 1/2” sling coming on Tuesday. I’m pretty excited. So, I’ve heard they’re pretty slow to grow. Does anyone have any info on how slow?

Is it an actual smithi or harmorii?

 

[Joey B]

Actually, I ordered it from Jamie's Tarantula's & after re-checking what I ordered, it says "smithi/harmorii" so I assume it could be either or?

Former B. smithi has been revised to now B. hamorii. Former B. annitha is now B. smithi.

Common mistakes - all good. I advise you use scientific names as they do not confuse others which species you are referring to. For example: all the Brachypelma spp. with “red legs” is a huge headache when I see someone uses the term. Only a few species are somewhat OK being called their common bc of uniqueness. For example: Chaco is G. pulchripes and GBB is C. cyaneopubescens

Yeah. And at $50 for a 1" specimen I feel is not a bad deal considering I See them online at 1/4" for $30.

Came home to this uh, big, surprise from my girlfriend lol Looks like I'm going to the store in a bit for a tub and then doing some unexpected air hole drilling! Hahaha

 

[Turiell]

@MrButton I hope you manage to get at least one. I have two, a momma and her baby. I love them both, and the baby is so curious and finally taking down live prey on his own! No more pre killed for him!
