Beautiful T. blondi :D





Aww, look at that sweet face!!! {D Such a good baby for me!

Wow I so wish I could clone you and bring one of your clones back to Ohio. :p I have been searching for a girl in the cursed state of Ohio for well over 15 years who isn't downright terrified of spiders and I just cannot ever find them and I do not really know how to go about finding them. Every girl I've ever tried to talk to in Ohio runs for the hills as soon as I mention my love of spiders. Your fiancee is a lucky man.

Having said that, even though I have loved spiders since the age of 4, I do not know if I could muster the courage to hold a birdeater like that. They are awesome to look at, but it'd seem surreal to hold a spider that big. Plus, from my understanding, they have a wicked bite (I don't know how true that is though)? Regardless, I tip my hat to you and your respect of spiders.

Great Pics, hon! :clap: Your girl is just beautiful!! :clap:

When I looked at the pictures; I caught myself scratching my collar area and and had to laugh....{D {D
I can't handle any of mine, since it seems the more exposure I have - the worse the reaction gets to the urticating hairs. I have to admit that the smithis are on a par, at least. The last time we bred them - I itched for a week.
Conversely - the last time we bred blondis - I only itched for 3 days, lmao!!

AWESOME PICS!! :clap:

Thanks Rochelle! :) My A. geniculata seems to be the worst offender for hairs, my Brachys don't come close to those hairs! We're hoping to breed the blondi when the time comes!
