Becca's Photo Thread

Some really nice pics. The shot of your H gigas is more than I usually see of mine!

That's such a cute pic of the vagans.

If it is actually a B. vagans...

The carapace color has thrown me off - it should already be dark at this size.

I was going by what you labeled it as.

That's a cute pic of your Brachy. sp.?

Mine is about that size and looks exactly like that. Maybe they get darker when they get older.

Awe Becca~! You just hit my weak spot. I love the A. hentzi. I wish I had that one.

C. crawshayi, "Sagan"

 

[Lorgakor]

Great pictures as always Becca, and some awesome new additions you have!

 

[Nick_schembri]

Amazing.......nice collection you got there Becca :clap:

 

[Vys]

C. crawshayi, "Sagan"

How come you named it that?

 

[becca81]

How come you named it that?

All of my spiders are "named" after scientists or mathematicians. I don't actually call mine by the name that I give them, but I just use it as a log ID.

Heh, not to mention that this spider being incredibly slow-growing reminds me of the way that Carl Sagan can be incredibly long-winded.

 

[Vys]

Ahaa. Made me a little curious simply because 'sagan' is 'the story', or perhaps 'the fairy-tale' in Swedish. Knowing your naming-scheme though, Carl Sagan seems like the primary connection one'd make. Don't know anyone else called that, anyhow.

I don't know if I'll ever get enough spiders to start giving them number-designations or such, but this gave me the idea to name one 'U-452' or something anyway

Oh, and I'd like to know; do you find that that Citharishius grows slower than most Aphonopelma?

You never answered what happened to that cricket in the first picture.

 

[becca81]

Oh, and I'd like to know; do you find that that Citharishius grows slower than most Aphonopelma?

I haven't owned enough of either species to really generalize - I currently own 2 C. crawshayi, 2 A. hentzi, and 2 A. seemani.

From what I've read, it seems like the growth rate is very similar between the two genuses.

Becca, your photos are great. Your enthusiasm and dedication shines through them. I often read your posts and I admire your knowledge. How many years have you been keeping tarantulas???

 

[becca81]

How many years have you been keeping tarantulas???

Just a little over a year.

 

[Gesticulator]

Just a little over a year.

wow. You are so well versed I had my first T for 3 years now, but started getting more since March of this year and have dabbled into different species..
