Any New Additions?

[HoneyOilers]

She was quite defensive when I gently touched her leg with a paintbrush to try and guide her out the old enclosure. This went on for a few minutes, so eventually I just left the old enclosure in the new one and she wandered out in her own time. Good luck with your rehousings

Stood her ground and stubborn? Or bolty and trying to flee? I’ll tame defensive and stubborn over trying to run any day! Easier to contain . Mine is usually pretty calm/bold but even when I do startle it when I’m adding a drop of water or cricket or just checking on it, there’s usually just a retreat to one of the various hides it’s made in it’s dirt/web castle

Definitely stubborn and stood her ground, at no point did she try and bolt.

Here’s my new enclosure for my incoming P. Victori and a bonus rehouse for my 1.25” DLS H. Pulchripes

Spring sling delivery last week included:

1 x Cyriocosmus sellatus
3 x Harpactirella overdijki
3 x Ischnocolus jickelii
3 x Davus sp. Chiapas
1 x Phrixotrichus vulpinus
3 x Ornithoctoninae sp. "central highlands"
1 x Phlogiellus obscurus

A pretty nice haul, but they were unpacked in a hurry and I didn't get pics this time. I'll post some soon, though!

Ask and you shall receive (I was feeding it tonight anyway ). It is still very tiny, but already very fuzzy, and has Muppet legs!

Look at those legs! little n long at the same time so cute! I stand by what I said you lucky man

So I rehoused mine the other night and it behaved so well. It retreated into its web castle, so I pulled the whole castle out of the vial and just gave it a little shake in the new enclosure and it just jumped out into the new one. Took about 40 seconds

Thanks I think so too but I am partial with him being my son .
Thanks again I like to name all my t's some get better names then others but I thought the fates fitted well here glad someone else thought so too , just coz it make sense in my head doesn't mean it will to others .

And Clotho

The names <3
My OCD always gets triggered when the third Acherontia (death's head moth) species is called styx, not clotho. I mean, it's still death/fate related, but why not a third Moira?

Happy Birthday cool Ts, I have most Nhandus but not this species

 

[WolfieKate]

Two tinys. Cyriocosmus Elegans and Kochiana Brunnipes. The latter has settled in well and is already munching on a worm portion. The former looks like I need to size it’s home down a bit.

Thank you idk y but it seemed appropriate to name them for the fates n I know styx as the river not a fates name, that would trigger me too lol.

Thank you am getting old lol, 39 time flys.... Tss have them in atm they aren't massively priced either £22 something daft like that . They were the only Nhandu I was missing from the genus . Makes my heart happy to have them here .
