User Biollantefan's Tarantula Pictures

[Biollantefan54]

I might have some pics, not sure yet...

Anyways, I am finally posting this but I have had them for about a week and half now and haven't got to posting. But I got a 1/2 inch C. Chromatopelma and a Dune scorpion! I also got a 1/4 of an inch B. Albopilosum! The C. chromatopelma molted within a week of me having it! I walked in from scholl a few days ago and saw two of tarantulas and my eyes got wide and I was like "It molted!!!!" It is the first tarantulas to molt in my care. I love it. The B. Albo is really fat, it feasted on a pinhead a few days after I got it. The dune scorp also eats well. I love these so much. My "collection" jumped from 1 T to 3! I know it isn't a big jump but I like it. I cant wait to slowly move into arboreal T's, they just seem like a challenge. Anyways, pics... Lets see if I have any.

1st, my Dune scorp.

(I don't know where to put this so if this is in the wrong place, can a mod help me out? )
I went to Repticon for the first time yesterday, it was awesome. I will defiantly be going back. Any who, I brought 100$ and spent every dime, I only bought 4 thing though. Of the 4 I bought, I talked down 3 of them down 5$ each so I saved 15$. Here is what I bought:
First off, this spawn from hell: Scolopendra subspinipes, can someone help me narrow it down to the subspecies?

Repticon was so fun!

The pede looks like what was known as "Scolopendra subspinipes dehaani"

Looks like Scolopendra dehaani is its own species now, though.

I went to the Repticon in Ft Lauderdale. No spiders aside from Avics, but I was able to pick up a breeding size female Guyana BCC for my male. She's stunning.

 

[Biollantefan54]

The one here had an amazing selection of inverts. Scorpions of all species everywhere, the only thing missing was a solifugid. There was a ton of T's a lot of them being G. pulchripes slings but their was I. miras, L. violaceopes, pokies, etc. The only T problem was Avics. There was maybe 4 Avics at the whole show. I wanted an A. versicolor sling but they had a confirmed female 5 inch for $150, no others.

I also went to a show yesterday! Was the Reptile Expo up in NY, got an N. chromatus out of it and my friend got a GBB

Nice acquisitions, and love this photo with your cent's eyes!

 

[Biollantefan54]

Yeah, I liked that photo lol. I love that Gbb sling. Mine just molted, it has all blue legs now and the gold carapace is fading into blue now.

I found out I can edit photos with my computer and is pretty good at it. I will post the old ones with the new ones. I bet that a bunch of dealers do this with their photos as well. The C. marshalli is my favorite.

If you have the options in your photo editor program, try fiddling with the hue and saturation.

 

[Biollantefan54]

It is the default editor on the windows 8.1 update I believe. I can mess with saturation but their isn't anything on hue. I am gonna do this with all my photos but to a lesser extent to make them look a little better but not fake lol.

I’m just bringing up this old thread of mine back because I just did the math and I still have this Brachypelma albopilosum from my first post in this thread, meaning in few months it will be 9 years old! I can’t believe it’s that old. It’s also nowhere near fully grown. It’s only about 2”. I wonder how long it’ll live…

 

[Biollantefan54]

Here are a couple of pics from an Avicularia amazonica molt I took
