Nice aquisition Hobo

Did U build an add-on to the cardboard complex....2 make room 4 ? - J

Yep, saw my P. regalis doing the same thing. She'll do it with balls of dirt or boluses. She seems to like throwing them into her plant or her water dish

It blew my mind! I didn't actually think they would throw them... though it would make sense... I remember reading a thread where a guy's avic got it into a fake flower somehow. Hey, we should start a spider basketball team

Yup! Gonna flip this cardboard box!

Oh man, those last three pics are so cool!

Thanks. I really lucked out on these ones. Wish I got the bolus in mid air though, that woulda been perfect.

She molted last night, and one of the irminia and I were lucky enough to see the whole thing.
"Bye, everyone, thanks for watching me undress myself!...

Gah! I meant to send you a pm, but forgot.
It was at Aquariums West. They got a bunch of new spiders in, and they're all really good deals. That girl was $30, which is why I couldn't pass her up! IIRC they had a couple of other A. avics (one female, and one freshly molted MM), a couple of female Lps ~3", A couple of P. regalis (I think one is female, judging from just the dorsal stripe... they appear to be about 3" too... didn't get a good look), E. murinus, and a T. blondi. There may be more, I dunno... I was pretty much pullin' em out of their little hotbox thing and going crazy. I'm sure you know how it is

There was also this "new" guy (used to work there but came back) who's a real spider head. Craig, I think his name was? Anyway, he knows his stuff, talked spiders with him for a bit, he used to keep tons of spiders. Says he'll try to get some of the more rare spiders in, and says he's gonna try and get some that I wanted in there. He said he can get them sexed sometimes too. I suggested L. violaceopes Nice guy.

Anyway, you should def. check 'em out if your in the area, though if you want any of the spiders I listed, better call to make your trip worthwhile!

I'm telling you guys... SPIDER BASKETBALL TEAM! Kinda like Air bud, but with spiders.

Thanks! I bet my thread loves you too. And yeah, she is pretty. The MM at the store looked crazy though! And here I thought I'd never bother with any avics!
Btw, Mrs. Pennywort says "hi" to Contraband <3

Haha well I guess you're right. I am a Hobo, after all!
And thanks. Other than those little hitchhikers, she's doing very well, and has already eaten.

And just so there will be some pictures to look at amid this sea of text, I give you Mr. & Mrs. Pennywort (Pay attention Mr. Pennywort, that silkworm might be YOU one day!):

The MM Avic I knew was literally THE perfect spider... he was overwhelming cute, I couldn't stand it.

Contraband says howdy to Mrs. Pennywort.. and gives a little glare to Mr. Pennywort

Ya man, i know Craig....i used to buy spids from him, when he was there back in , like, 03-06.....def a good guy!....knows his stuff, fo sho!.....cant wait to go check out what they have!

 

[Hobo]

Omg you guys!!

So looks like my GBB molted out instead of laying an eggsac:8o
That's the bad news. Good news is that she molted! She was on her back about 8am yesterday, and waitied for me to fall asleep before actually molting (I work nights). Further proof that they will only molt when you are asleep, and even wait for it just to piss you off!

Here's her molt:

oops forgot her hat....

And just a couple of random shots of the B. insignis, Stubbs, who seems to be permenantly missing a leg..

Doesn't stop her from the killing though!

A shot of my H. lividum... She's out a whole lot at night. I'm waiting for her to become a pet hole.

...and I'll sneak in some of my Betta, "Siamese fighting fish the fish", because he's awesome. The color's off though, he's much more of a royal blue color. I'm just not smart enough to fiddle with my camera to get it to capture the color properly.

Second picture of the Betta is just fantastic. Is that body posture the result of him seeing his reflection in the aquarium glass?

 

[ametan]

Does your GBB have some sort of Davey Crockett fixation by any chance?

 

[Teal]

Aww, cute betta!

I put a mirror up against the side so I could take photos of his fins. I forgot how much of a pain it is to take a picture of something that moves around. Score another point for tarantulas!

Hah! That's immediately what I thought whn I first saw that.

Aww, cute betta!

Thanks. He's a diva. Only takes frozen food, won't touch the pellet stuff.



Anyway, more pics while I'm here! With all the fun picture threads in the WH, I almost forgot about this one!

The GBB, loking very nice. Very awesome blue and orange hues.

P. metallica. I almost never get a proper shot of this one. Enjoy!

The B. smithi with a face full of dirt. She's stopped actively digging, but is now just content moving her webbed up dirt clods from one end of her cage to the other. :?

...and, the B. boehmei finally decided to molt. Didn't even see her flip or anything, just came home to a new, bright orange spider. Her abdomen is still huge!

And on with the stretching! I love this pose.
Silly spider, stop doing that Superman pose. You're a spider. You can't even fly.

Thanks for visiting!

Sweet! Went back last weekend to maybe pick up one of the LPs, both looked male so I passed. Almost all of the cool spiders were gone (So it was YOU who took the E. murinus!! lol) and all they had were 2 avics, the blondi, and the 2 lps. Hopefully that'll encourage them to get more spiders soon!

 

[crawltech]

dude, that blondi was lookin good!...i was tempted fo sho....but passed on it for the murinus!......ya, im sure hes gunna stock up...i`ll be checkin back.

 

[Teal]

That boehmei looks amazing!

 

[TheTsupreme]

Great thread an pictures really !
love the way that you follow up ur spiders, many others are just taking random pics all the time.

 

[myles756]

Yup, finally got my hands on a female P. metallica! My pockets are still hurting though.... but it was worth it.:drool:[/QUOTE]

that is awesome ive wanted one for so long!

 

[Hobo]

That boehmei looks amazing!

Thanks Teal. She's such a fatass... and grew a ton too. She's almost as big as my N. chromatus when I first got her.

Thanks. That's what I was going for, something blog-ish but not really. I shall never blog! Though if I had a ton more tarantulas, I'm sure my picture thread would end up just being a bunch of random pictures. It's way easier to keep track of 13 than 1300!

that is awesome ive wanted one for so long!

Save up, get one. I've heard they're a good starter pokie, if it wasn't for the price.
