Holy crap, that irminia annhilated that cricket! You weren't kidding, it hit the substrate and she flew from across the enclosure to blow its legs off! Fun spider

LOL thats too funny. It'd be strange to say my most ornery T is a NWer! Speaking of which, my cambridgei might be developing a mean streak. I was filling its water dish and it was letting me know I wasn't welcome in its home

Nice pickups! At least you got a good substitute for the cyrios with a borneo black. Awesome looking sp. too.

Thanks man, crossing my fingers it turns out female! And they're big spiders!

Just a few pics, nothing special.


Rehoused Cody (chalcodes) earlier this month. Held while rehousing

She later bolted on me, ran across my kitchen counter, and wound up trapped in my boxer shorts. Yeah, it was an adventure


Also rehoused River (A. sp. New River), here with "kill"

It was a prekilled cricket but she leapt on it and took it down like a lion on a zebra. Such a proud little killer


Sex my L. sp. Borneo black please

I kid of course. Its settling in nicely with a web/dirt burrow and eats like a champ.


Look who it is! I almost never see Antsy (A. sp. Mozambique) beyond toes. Here was a rare occassion

Em (B. emilia) molted!

Its maayyybe 1" but if you look carefully, you can see the pink on its legs!

Now that its hardened, its carapace is starting to get its dark v as well


I've had 5 molts in the past 4 days: Lykos on Sat, Nacho on Sun, Em yesterday, and Cody and Gabriella today! Lykos is big, I can't wait to see him come out.

And nowwwww, the further adventures of LP

Hunting

Scratching her butt

Spidertarantula

This is why she's on the lid:

I kept wondering what that horrible noise was. Almost daily, she climbs on the ceiling and chews on the edge of the lid. I think she's telling me she wants more space. Any larger, I think she'd be able to pierce the plastic. After she molts again, I'll rehouse her into something more spacious

 

[codykrr]

nice Pics. Thanks for rehousing me too that last place was getting kind of cramped.LOl

Nice pics, but I can't help but ask. When you say that Cody bolted and wound up in your boxers, well, where you wearing them at the time?? Sorry, couldn't help myself

I've been wondering about Cody, been trying to get in my boxers for a while. Quite honestly makes me uncomfortable, ya know?

I kid I kid. Yes, I was wearing the boxers at the time. I was rehousing on my kitchen counter because its very open and it was just an aphonopelma sling. Thought: she's slow and NW, no sweat. Well, everything was going fine, handled her, took pics, and got her in her new home. She was just sitting on the top of the substrate and as I reached down pick up the lid off the counter, she got a wild hair up her ass and bolted. She ran right at me and down over the edge, so I quickly pushed my hips to stop her, veerrry gently, of course. Whoop, right on in! Had to carefully extricate her (stayed on the boxers itself), put her back in her new home, and took a deep breath. Sorry, no pics of that part of the adventure

Aw, no pics I'm kidding, that is hilarious, good thing it was just a NW sling though

Some more new pics for the 4th

Nacho postmolt

OBTs really are beautiful spiders


My biggest girl, Aryana, out early one morning

My second biggest girl, Denali

Gabriella starting to get her big girl colors

Rehoused Antsy, A. sp. Mozambique, now 1.75"

THE calmest OWer I've ever seen

Anyone wanna give it a shot? By eye, looks very male. Here, not sure

Going to try sexing its molt on Tues so we'll see


Brisbane, P. crassipes, finally decided to web up a lair

Lykos postmolt, getting big and black!

Such a cool T

Oh, don't pay any mind to the dry looking sub, its just the surface that's dried out. Just underneath its moist

The wet spot is from him jumping into his dish chasing a cricket


Just a few short days until some new arrivals

[BCscorp]

Nice spiders man!

 

[jbm150]

New arrivals!!!

Thanks BC


Well, I think the sad reality is that I've pretty much told the world that I'm not interested in dating women ever again. I just couldn't help myself, I ordered more Ts...and of course, they're tiny

Phlogius crassipes (multiply by 2)

Tiny but feisty!


Ornithoctinus aureotibialis (x3)

Little fuzzball cuties! I can't be sure but I think this one tried to savage my brush


Thrigmopoeus truculentus

After seeing pics and researching these a bit, I am extremely excited for this one!


With the multiples, I should have some sort of chance at a female...hopefully. These Ts are courtesy of Chris (Syndicate). Aside from the top notch transaction (all the way around), not all of these were paid for
