Grammostola rosea, "Archimedes." My first tarantula and *hopefully* will eventually drop a sac (mated with ChrisNCT's male over the summer).

Freshly molted Pamphobeteus sp. "Ecuador Giant Birdeater." I'm 85% sure this one is female.

*sigh*

If only they kept these colors...

Somewhere in the 60ish-70ish range, I believe. That's including slings, juvenile, and adults. I'm actually trying to cut back a bit right now - I think I can pick the ones that I really want to keep and cut it down to 40 or so and be happy with that.

(of course, I say that just after I bought 6 more.. )

I was like “What in the hell is on top of that Ts head?” So I did some searching and only could come up with “C. bechuanicus” so I think you may have a spelling error.

Awesome pix, I want a T with a natural tumor on its head.

Why would they develop that?

Haha - you're right - it is C. bechuanicus - darn pinky-finger hit the "a" key. Thanks!

Most (not all) Ceratogyrus spp. have the "horn" on their carapace. I don't think that it's known exactly why the horn is there, although I believe it has been speculated that it could be for water storage or something of the like.

Fascinating genus!

Thanks for the info! I think I have a new critter on my Xmas wish list.
