Well you do know where to find me. Glad we got the chance to catch up last night, you just need to remember to log on more

Coupla quick shots

Nacho lounging in his empty waterdish. I waited for him to come out to refill it and when I did, he wasn't particularly interested. Guess he was just relaxing

Antsy's looks just fascinate me

Rehoused Motley and Velvet (identical pulchras in identical enclosures)

Sadly, one of my new O. aureotibialis slings wasn't long for the world

To change things up, I decided to try to tong feed Aryana...and record it

I'm just happy I didn't jerk back like a spaz. I know she isn't going to come flying out but always in the back of my mind is that "what if...."

Went on a kinda-sorta vacation and came back to a bunch of Ts that molted. Also within a few days, these Ts molted as well! Here's some not-so-good pics of the fun

Gabriella flipped

And freshly molted

This pic actually came out ok, the colors and patterns are striking (love the bat symbol)


Em, B. emilia, flipped this morning

Molted successfully, once s/he hardens, i'll get a pic


T. truculentus lurking

Molted while gone but when I rehoused, I couldn't for the life of me find the molt :?
^btw, this is an extremely underrated spider!


Denali, my P. cambridgei, also molted. Just as I was walking out the door, she decided to flip. But when I got back, she was healthy and beautiful and BIG! She gained almost a full inch. I decided to rehouse her into her final enclosure. Did not go as smoothly as I hoped

You're not supposed to be up there

Not pictured: her darting all around the outside of her new enclosure and the lid to her previous home...which was in my hand. I had to juggle her around and keep her from running onto my arms and jumping pretty much everywhere. God my heart was in my throat but I finally got her in her new home, pictured against the bark

The more I do this, the more experience I get so I guess its a good thing


In the coming days and weeks, I have more Ts coming. They're Ts I've been wanting to get for so long, I'm stoked out of my mind. This weekend has all been about building enclosures. The one coming this week is mindblowingly beautiful

I am SO jealous that you got O. aureotibialis! They are on my "DO WANT!!" list for sure. Great shots of everyone!!

Jeff, Wow! Nice collection you've amassed. :clap:

Lol thanks teal, they're pretty cool Ts. Gorgeous when they get big. Mine are pissed at me because I constantly have to tear down their web towers to get in to feed and water 'em.

Glad to have you back on AB, place wasn't quite the same without you

Jeff, Wow! Nice collection you've amassed. :clap:

Thanks Terry, I'm pretty happy with it myself. I don't have a ton of species but it's a diverse mix

They are soo gorgeous! I can't wait to get some.. now you've really got me tempted to get a few slings from Chris for myself! hehe

Aww thanks Jeff

 

[Shell]

Nice pics, as usual, Jeff.

MY GBB is looking pretty darn sexy

Aww thanks Jeff

Do it! Chris is great and he'll do you right. From what I've observed, they're a little slow to go into feeding mode but once they get locked on, they go nuts. I had one jump and pick off a cricket that was hanging from the side of the enclosure and then roll with it across to the other side. Good stuff

Nice pics, as usual, Jeff.

LOL well, until you come get YOUR GBB, I'll keep her growing and sexy-fied...so to speak

Aww I love when the little guys go all crazy commando on their feeders! lol

Alright... I think you've talked me into it... BAD Jeff, BAD!

 

[Shell]

Sexy-fied's always good (my word of the day now, thanks .)

I am really beginning to think, that flying down to see you and smuggling her back across the border, would be easier then finding a GBB in Canada!

Ahem... take me with you.

That is all.

New arrivals!!!

LOL it's nice to be appreciated


I have two O. aureotibialis slings. This picture represents their differences exactly:

Oa2 (left) is always hiding, Oa3 (right) is always out. Also, Oa2 molted today, wasn't expecting it at all


Ok, now, the real good stuff. My newest order came in, one is a real beauty! But lets start with the freebies first (Patrick86 is awesome!)

P. irminia x2

Making a break for it!

Twins together, hope at least one is female (I think the first is!)

Now the real prize

What could it be?

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!

But seriously, she went into her home fine. She was sluggish, really. Hope she'll be ok....

Exploring and finding her cave, where hopefully she'll begin her burrow

Well, I shifted her enclosure, she flipped around and let me know exactly how she felt about my existence from here on out!

Thats the spirit I was looking for

So stoked to have her, I can't wait to never see her again LOL


Plus, I have more Ts coming next week so stay tuned

 

[Shell]

Great new additions, Jeff! So this is why you told me to watch for pics

Love the sea turtle pic (actually I saw them already, Hayden was fascinated.) I was just disappointed that you didn't get a pic of the hammerhead, you will just have to try harder next time

 

[jbm150]

Thanks shell. I've named her Tamarin because her whiskers make me think of a young emperor tamarin.


Tell me about it, I wish I had gotten a shot of the shark and the mola. Right as I was clicking the camera at the mola, it dove. It was a pretty neat fishing trip.

 

[Ariel]

Sea turtle!!!!!

oh the T's are cool too

Heh, awesome pictures! What sp. of Haplo is that?

 

[opticle]

great pictures mate you've got me more excited for my tarantulas to come haha
