:} Your pachypus is beautiful. How big is she about?

Thanks! She was sold to me as being 4" I'd say she's probably close to 3.5". I haven't measured her, I lost my measuring tape.

Some better shots of the pachypus. Gotta get them now before she dissapears underground. :}

Thanks. I made a divit in the dirt that I'm hoping she'll take to and burrow there so she's up against the plastic. And you know what? She'd better burrow! I've been wanting a burrowing T for so long, I'd hoped if I have my P. chordatus ebough sub he'd burrow, but he never did.

Definately a pretty calm species, especially considering its a baboon. I didn't get a single threat, for the most part when I was poking and proding her (during transfer and what not) she just scrunched down, and when she did react she just bolted a short space.

My bad,I suck at eyeballing pet holes. I can make the size difference up to ya if you like,just shoot me your info again and whatnot,I erased my inboox today,along with about ten addresses I should have kept.Now when I say make up the difference,I mean something fuzzy,so be prepared..................

In the time we had her,she was great. Made a nice burrow,and just stayed there. But even when I dug her up,she let me scoop her up,and place her in the deli without issue.Wish the darn chalcodes I shipped were as easy to package in all honesty...Glad you like her,I know next to nothing about these guys,and I am not into burrowers,so she is better off in your hands than ours........Now,tell me,how damn funny is it to see her run/walk....I almost fell over the first time I saw those huge rear legs start kicking.

oh no, its ok! I'm not upset about it or anything, I can understand how it would be difficult to get an actual measurment on her.

lol, you bet. don't know if I'll ever be able to find a male, would like to, but i get the feeling they arn't really available.

lol, you bet. don't know if I'll ever be able to find a male, would like to, but i get the feeling they arn't really available.

Yea I read that males arent available because they dont have the thick back legs like the females do, so they arent imported as E.pachypus or something like that. Im not sure of the validity of this, but I think I remember reading something like that.

Your girl is soo pretty!

I think I recall reading somewhere that someone had found a male and it was labled as something else but his female molted out or something, I don't remember. I think because of that what needs to happen is they need to import a gravid female. It's happened with other species, so why not this one?

She really is! She's started a burrow now too, if figures she wouldn't take to the one I started for her but at least she's making it up against the plastic.

 

[Ariel]

Mostly just got some pictures of River (P. cambridgei) today. And one or two of Marik (B. smithi) no one else was being cooperative...

As a side note Domino (P. regalis) molted today. Which is great because I've been WAITING for him to do so. No pics, he's not really in a good spot for that.

Also Eevee (E. pachypus) hasn't burrowed yet....She started one, abandoned it, went to the divit I made, dug a bit, and has now abandoned that one, and is merely sitting in the corner ignoring the cricket I offered her.

On to the pics...

 

[Ms.X]

I'm really enjoying that cricket between River's fangs popping out to say 'save me!'

LOL. yeah, I really like that pic. I have one of my B. vagans where she's eatting two crickets, and it looks like they're snuggled between her fangs.

here it is.

 

[Ms.X]

Love it

 

[crawltech]

Those P. cambridgei shots are incredible!!....very....keep 'em comin Ariel!

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

Agreed, awesome shots of the cambridgei.

 

[flyguycolorado]

+1 awesome shots of the P. cambridgei- ONE OF MY FAV'S

 

[Ariel]

Thanks everyone!!

Some new pictures for today. These were all taken just randomly this past week, was going to try to get more tonight, but decided I was to tired, so here we go...

"Manae" A. versicolor

And I took some time to handle Tani my A. avicularia I've never really handled my Ts before for various reasons, but I always wanted to so I finally decided, oh why the heck not?!

Actually it was because I had a friend over and she's always seemed interested in my Ts. in the end she ended up not holding her, guess the first time Tani leaped from my hand kind of spooked her.


Friend took this pic of Tani in my hand,

theses next two I took, shame the first one didn't turn out D:

 

[Ariel]

Leaving for a week tomorrow so decided to feed up everyone tonight.


Tani (A. avicularia)

River (P. cambridgei)

Manae (A. versicolor) got a cool sequences of her approching a cricket, though I didn't get the strike, since I had to leave.

the sequence

Cardinal (C. bertae)

Rex (P. chordatus) Freshly molted. I was expecting him to mature this molt (His molt measured 3") but no, not yet.

Marik (B. smithi)
