Thanks Fred. I'm glad your enjoying them. I do have more but they are either in a molt or buried in the substrate and I don't want to dig them up yet. It looks like yet is going to get here pretty soon though.;)

Although it might sound selfish due to the T's and how they might be stressed by you doing that, but I cannot wait until you do, since you probably will anyway :)

I can't get away from the causeing some stress thing but if it makes you feel better, I promise the burrows will not be messed up. I can control that.

Quite an outing

This one was a chore. She is soooooo mean. But, the sweety let me get some pics. (and fangs too)


Haplopelma sp. Vietnam

I used a wooden skewer to reluctantly lure her out of her hide.



She immediatly went on the defensive. "oh no"



No, she's not molting. This often happens with this species. They get so mad and fixed on getting rid of you that when they stretch back for the best bite, they often topple over. What's amazing is, they are so mad that after they topple over, they usually stay like that for tens of minutes without moving.



She finally calmed down enough to get a few more pics. (still very pissed though)







"oh s---" She got ahold of the skewer and would not let go so I got a few pics of that. I was able to lift her, with her attached to the stick by her fangs alone. (I was very careful so I wouldn't hurt her)







Poor girl. She's getting awfully tired of me and the camera. :(



And it shows. (again)



I took a while but I got her pointed in the right direction, back to the hole.



"Theres my home" (hole sweet hole)



"Good bye and get out" and so is the life of a pet hole. See ya in a year or two?



I'll have more later. This one was very trying.

Yeah, this one did make me nerveous. I'd like to get a lividium too, down the road though.

You've got some really beautiful Ts! And very interesting pics. I especially like the one of your rosie making her escape. Cool pics and neat angle on those! Good job!

Thank you. I've never taken pictures like this before. I never had a reason before. I'm really enjoying this and I'm anxious to put more up. I will also be posting pics of all the T's after molts so everyone can see all the transitions each one goes through. I learned by useing the camera that my versi has the beginnings of the purple hugh they are popular for. It's vary hard to see at that stage with the naked eye. Whats cool is I get let everyone see the changes with me.

Wow lots of action in your Haplo sp. "Vietnam" Jeremy, made me nervous just by looking at those defensive pics, is the common name for your sp. the Viet Tiger? If so isn't it Haplopelma vonwirthi?

That might be the common name. I don't know. All of the species are so closely related that the only way to be sure is to send off an exuvium to have identified. It could be a vonwirthi but since I'm not sure, it's a Haplopelma sp. vietnam. Maybe one day I'll send one off the be indentified but it doesn't bother me to call her an H. sp. so maybe not.

Thrixopelma pruriens

Here is one of the newer species in the hobby. I don't know too much about this species so I'm going to learn as I go.

This juvinile would not move so I had to take pics around it. A little boreing but it worked.

Hope you like it.

Thrixopelma pruriens

Thanks, I think this species was discovered back in 98 (not sure) but it never took off. It is pretty rare in the hobby though and the lack of info on it prooved it to me. I did find out that they like it dry and they are skittish. That makes it pretty easy to deal with. I'm anxious to find out more.
