Thanks guys. Yeah, the bag trick is great, but...
I almost miss chasing errant spiders during transfers.... almost.

So anyway, finally got around to slapping together the feeding vids I took last weekend... I'm sure my fellow nerds will appreciate the musical score.

Oh, and also, my irminia female (whom I've been preferentially feeding over her brothers), molted about 2 weeks ago, and has finally started comming out of her hollow and showing herself off! I'd say she's about 3.5" now, as her brothers are all 3". She might be less, I dunno, I keep overestimating these guys. It's their legs... they're just too long damnit! She looks bigger than my avic now, at the very least!
These are all through plastic so there's a bit of glare.

She started out jsut cleaning her legs.

Then went up and down her hollow...

and then..... SUPERMAN POSE!!

What diverse collect you got... Cool!!!
Oh BTW that soundtrack rules... lol
Reminded me of cartoons, from the 70's-80's.... when ever ther's a villain arround...
Also I saw my male's, gurl... What a looker and she seem to be a heavy webber... I love it when they make their webb hammocks...
Always a neat sight. Hopefully she doesnt make a meal out of him...
I've seen you have added a few more... How many T's you got it total now?...

Peace,
Armando

Yup, she's a credit to her species, with webbing everywhere! Hopfully a mother too. Before I got her she was cohabitating with a male for about 2 weeks... so I'm hoping she's still nice to the boys!
Here's her nice web hammock

I've only got 18 right now. Latest additions were the violaceopes, pissi (pissii?), "antinous" and perezmilesi.
This is how things are looking now in the spider corner:

Going to need a full wall pretty soon!

Omg your such a dork lol . Love the music

Thanks!
I'm not a dork! I'm a nerd, thanks.

Beautiful collection, for some have never heard ... very nice

Thanks toncek12.... which ones?

Nice pics, going to have to use that bag transfer idea next time! lol

Give it a shot. Works with slow terrestrial spiders too

Thanks! you don't have to be, but it helps

Thank you! Yeah, she (at least I'm hoping it's a she, she looks kinda male down there) is great. Her enclosure is on the low side so whenever I open it, her butt's already in the air!

Also woo hoo! I'm assuming you found a place then? Dave still had a lot of these guys at the table when I went, both unsexed and females, so you woudl definitely be able to get one... if he is going. He was unsure of whether or not he'd be able to make the October show.
If he is, hell yeah we can split gas money. I can't drive though. Maybe we can split sling money instead? LOL;P

Haha! I was hoping someone would recognize it. You've just won some nerd respect from me!
They seem to use this theme in a lot of shows in homage to that episode.

Thanks mang, but star trek is almost the very definition of "geek"

 

[D3AdB0DYMAN]

nice pics and cool videos

 

[smallara98]

Ha , whenever I tell my friends I play Super Mario Bros on the original Nintendo . You should really play some Super Mario and put the music in one of your feeding videos .

Haha awesome! I soo wouldn't mind one of those and a RCF versicolor I am so jealous of all your guys spider collection, i've been reading up on the for yeeears. I've been an avid reptile keeper, but since graduating I want to wait till I settle down in Vancouver before I get into it.

Also woo hoo! I'm assuming you found a place then? Dave still had a lot of these guys at the table when I went, both unsexed and females, so you woudl definitely be able to get one... if he is going. He was unsure of whether or not he'd be able to make the October show.

I have my dads good friend looking for me, he said theres alot of cheap places near surrey which are 350$ but I heard it's kinda dangerous there, especially with the ground level apartments. I am aiming for Burnaby. ahha!

He better be ! Ill totally be up for a quick trip to get some spider love. lol I am getting my beginners liscence july 19th.....but i won't have a car.. sad times.

If he is, hell yeah we can split gas money. I can't drive though. Maybe we can split sling money instead? LOL

Sling money it is hahah! or we could either buy a sexed male, and a female and divide the babies. <3 lol

Oh yeah, somethign you might appreciate:

I found a stone centipede of some kind while cleaning in the yard! He's fun, but I can never see him. He darts for cover at the faintest hint of light.

Oh awesome yeah that was also my first centipede hehehe. Although mine was less shy. Great eaters too. Do they ever sell centipedes at the shows? i might just end up getting one of those too.. yum.

I bet you can tell i've never been to a show... haha
I need money... to complete my rainbow of wanted inverts.

 

[Hobo]

Dave had a few, though I couldn't tell you what kinds or how many he had, I didn't really look closely. You go there though, and I've no doubt you'd end up with one!

Just a couple of pics this time... A cool "cricket view" shot of my H. lividum, which has finally started coming "out" after her molt.

And my GBB, drinkin' in the hot weather right after a meal. Thankfully, she dropped the bolus eslewhere!

 

[Mack&Cass]

Gorgeous antinous. We've got a MF over here if yours is indeed a male

Great pics. We have an Acanthogonatus francki, they're very cool.

I cant get over how beautiful the pissi is!

Well, I'll keep that in mind, though I'm unsure if it's really antinous, so I wouldn't want to breed him if I don't know what he is. And he's a she!! *crosses fingers*.
According to Dave, They came in with a shipment of supposed "Chicken spiders" (Apparently the same one that Mack got his current ones from, but weren't communal like the others were, had slight differences in leg thickness, and different behavior in general). So, unofficially, they've been ID'd as Pamphobeteus sp. "antinous" until they can get a MM for taxonomic identification. So assuming it ends up being antinous and male, I can let Dave know you need him, as I bought this as female, and I'd be sending it back to him for a replacement/trade/refund if it's male!

Thanks for the compliments.
A. francki are beautiful too. I think it'd be hard to find a male for these guys; I've never even heard about them before I saw 'em at the show.

I cant get over how beautiful the pissi is!

Me neither, and I see her every day! I wonder why they aren't more available, at least here in Canada, as they are a beautiful species. Hopefully I can find a male for her when the time comes. Apparently they only reach 3" - 4"... so I may not have to wait long!

And just so there's at least one picture.... here's my N. chromatus... who I should really move to peat on of these days, so her colors show more vividly in photos...

I cant wait till my girl/s (I have 5 slings ) grow that big ! One of them is largest of them all and next molt should indeed start getting color :^)

 

[Hobo]

BOOYA.
Finally some shots of my H. lividum.
These are through screen and glass, so it's not the best quality.

And a couple from my boehmei...

 

[crawltech]
