wounderful T's mate, keep the pics comming

 

[crawldad]

PinkLady, this Pulchra is a true Gentle Giant. She is beautiful.


Cigarman, the P. lugardi was a face to face purchase from the owner. He said that he had held it often, and did so before I purchased it. It is very quick and somewhat jumpy. Not a T I would choose to handle, just glad I can.

Scolopendra55 , the B. ruhnaui came to me a few weeks ago, and we are still getting to know each other. The previous owner believes, as I do, it's due for a shed soon. I will be posting that as soon as it happens. You got a Boy friend for her if she is?

And thanks to anybody who happened to stop by, I do enjoy this forum, and all the help I've received so far.

:drool: That Pulchra is absolutely gorgeous!!! I've got to get me one of those.... And I love the photo of your Nhandu chromatus..... It's got so much hair that it reminds me of don king's hair 'do.

Lovely photos! Thanks for sharing.....

Great collection Crawldad! You have a glaring hole in your impressive collection, however:

 

[crawldad]

stubby8th, would that happen to be a Lasiodora Parahybana? Hhmmmmmmm, maybe I should consider one!

I have one we thought was a L Parahybana, but it seems to growing up to be a G. Rosea. Take a look, first pix.

Second photo is the only shot I have of this T, as it is a professional hole digger, and I have not seen it in weeks. I believe it to be Haplopelma sp. / Asian Chevron, but I could be wrong there. The pet store had it tagged as a Black Bird Eater.

You have a very impressive collection. I am oh-so jealous of your vinegaroon

Little Update

(Pic.1) I sure do love my GBB. It's fearless and awsome to look at as well. It's growth rate is amazing!

(Pic.2) A newer member to my collection, N.coloratovillosus. About 4".

(Pic.3) Look close, yes you were right, a red Phase G. Rosea, you've got good eyes!

Some of my Non T Critters

#1) Emporer Scorpion I just aquired

#2) European Legless (Glass) Lizard Ophisaurus apodus. had this for about 5 yrs. very cool lizard. Loves Lamb and Sweetpotatoe dog food. Eats Pinkies about once a month.

#3) My Beardies. Bred them for about 4 yrs., now they are retired.

#4) Our Tiger Salamander. What a viscious animal. If it was as big as a crock, I swear it would tear it apart.

Enjoy, more to follow. (I have a Megaphobema robustum on the way to me this week!! I'll post pix as soon as it arrives )

What wonderful critters you have. I love all of your Ts. I'm jealous of your vinegaroon! Are they easy to care for?

 

[stubby8th]

Now those are some IMPRESSIVE critters, crawldaddy! Some really top-notch specimines!

But you know, I just can't help but to be impressed with that G. pulchra . . . hmmmmm.

Thanks for the kind words. The Vinegaroon has been very easy to care for. I have the same setup as my Emporer Scorp. Haven't been able to ever see it eat, but the Crix do dissappear!

 

[IrishLad17]

Great Ts! Awesome vertebrates too! Where did you happen to find the legless lizard? In all my days I've only seen one like it (available for purchase that is).

 

[mackids]

I love your collection and awesome documention of molts and size!

 

[crawldad]

I wanted to show 2 of my newest Ts. Both from our friend Charles of "Botar".
First is A. versicolor, second is P. cancerides. The cancerides basically strutted out of its' container and ate before I got the lid on its' new digs!

 

[Socrates]

Awesome pictures, GORGEOUS Ts (and other critters)! Thanks so much for sharing those photos.

How's your "mystery" T doing? Do you think you've got her pinned down to be a Rosea for sure? She still has me perplexed.

Socrates, how nice of you to visit again. My "mystery T" molted to be a pretty little Rosea, which I traded to my buddy stubby8th for the real thing. The first shot is of the Rosea after her last shed, and the second is of my new L. Parahybana.

That is just AWESOME! Congratulations on your LP. Aren't they pretty? I often feel they are a bit underrated. I have 4 para juvies that started off at 1/4" last summer and my biggest one is now 3.5" (just molted 3 days ago). I LOVE them. I think they're very pretty, impressive as they get big(ger), AWESOME display animals, great temperament.

How did you manage to pick yours up? Did she calm down once you had her out of her enclosure? I'd love to handle one of mine, but they're still really really quick and skittish.

I'm so happy for you, because I know you've been wanting a para.

My B.Smithi, named "Helada" which is Spanish for "freezing cold" (Got stuck at the Fed Ex facility 'cause of a snow storm) shed for me last week. Shots are not exceptional, but I love the process of the molt. First pix was from the first week in December, next 2 are self explanitory.
