GBB Appreciation Thread

[malevolentrobot]

alright guys, i broke down and got a GBB and you will, from now on, cease to hear me say a word against them (i've never really been a fan of the adult coloration). its a stupidly cute sling, actually. i look forward to the massive webbing a lot of you guys have in your pictures.

nice pics guys, especially of the slings.

I got a Cannon Eos 60D so couldn`t resist the urge . The pictures are of course scaled so the quality dropped significantly. Enjoy...

I love the way they web.

The first T to be a candidate for MTV cribs. OBT, beat that!

Hi there everyone. As a brand new owner of a 2 1/2 inch female Crhomatopelma cyanoepubescens, I have to say, I AM ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN!!! I never would have imagined having such incredible feelings, for a spider, but this little sweetheart, is evidence enough!!! She immediately began spinning silk, and exploring the ENTIRE enclosure, and shows more personality than ought to be allowed! I have never been happier with a pet purchase, in my life!

If ANY of you, enjoy your Greenbottle Blues, as much as I enjoy mine, feel free to post your opinions, stories, and pics of your GBB's here!

Consider me CONVERTED! I will likely now be a GBB fan for life! I will wait to take some pics of mine, until she has settled in a little more, but if any of you have some GBB appreciation to share, please feel free. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these little Venezuelan beauties, and now "get it" as to why everyone has at least one...:clap:


All the best,
Ben.

so jealous...i decided to get an H. lividum as my first T... she almost killed me :cry:

Here's my boy Hugo ( as in Hugo Chavez..lol) Got him as a juvie from Scoolman. He's quite a looker and awsome eater. In fact, he's my only T that snaps the food so fast you can hear the "snap..crunch". Unfortunately he is not too far away from mature. Maybe only one more molt . I would love to breed him, but definitely would hand him over on loan to someone with more breeding experience if they are interested. Hate to see him go, but also don't want him to die without trying..lol. Here's a nice close-up

I realize I'm gushing here, but i.cannot get enough of this guy! I love his look, watching him feed, everything!

I see many more of these in my future. Got to get the other two species checked off my want list, and then it's on to more GBBs.

I absolutely adore our sub-adult GBB. Didn't really expect to enjoy him/her this much, but he/she is definitely a shared favorite in our collection. An incredible webber, eats like crazy and is easy to deal with when needed. What more could you ask for? :love:

We just got our first GBB sling a fortnight ago as well, and just had to show off ! Here is Oscar Wilde, with a LS of about 2'':
