Heh heh yeah, they're so neat looking. For a good time, just go through Chris's (syndicate) and Sean's (seanbond) pic threads. They have amazing pics of OWers and got me interested in the schmidti (and others).

Nice pickups! That Haplopelma is gorgeous.
Thank you sir :)

New arrivals!!!

It has been a LONG time coming but I've finally been able to pick up one of my most coveted species :D

Here are some really bad pics of some sweet ass spiders

Everyone together


Cyriopagopus schioedtei (x3) :D:D:D

This one took off and never stopped! The only one to give me any problems LOL

Finally wrangled it


All three together in matching homes



Chilobrachys fimbriatus (x2)


Both together



They're all courtesy of Dustin Daake, fantastic transaction. I'm so stoked to have these species, though I'm sorry I really can't show 'em off.


I had an awesome bonus pic to make these worth your time but alas, not allowed to post non-T pics here :eek:


Well, depending on the sex status of my Ts, my collection is nearly complete! I'm only missing a few species (S. dichromata, H. gigas, B. auratum, etc) and females of a few that I have and I'll be done :)

Thanks shell, they're tiny but cute. The fimbriatus numero dos has already webbed it's home up! I've never had one adjust that quickly.


As for the pic, we'll just have to see ;)

Tiny isn't bad, it's fun to watch them grow :)

I know I will get that pic out of you, you can't resist forever ;)

Had a surprise molt last night from my new schmidti! This was such a relief because she has been so sluggish (though quick to throw a threatpose when bothered) and had started to develop a bit of mold on the site where she had lost a leg (thanks Pat for your advice for that situation!).

Came home yesterday to her spinning circles and then this:


Woke up at 2am and saw her still partially in the molt but by 7:30, she was all good:

Leg is coming in just fine though it'll probably be a year until her next molt. She's definitely a lovely beast


Denali was also out posing on her "root"



Its nice to have some large Ts to go along with pic after blurry pic of tiny slings

New arrival!!!

Picked up a few more Ts but unfortunately, not all was well. No fault that I could find with the seller, just one of those things that happens. The female P. murinus and a freebie chordatus arrived DOA (chordatus was slightly twitching but alas...)

BUT, the real prize came in healthy and not-so-happy!
Psycho, a female A. junodi

The second I touched her with the brush, she attached herself to it and savaged it. And she wouldn't let it go. Kind of funny, this junodi is so full of spunk while Antsy, my ezendami, is incredibly chill.

So thrilled to have a female Auggie, makes completing my collection so much easier!


Nacho, my male OBT, has finally lived up to his namesake. I tried to pull his water dish to trade it out for a bigger one. Here, expressing his displeasure

He came all the way out, slapping and biting, and chased me out dishless. I'll try again later lol

Few pics, haven't added anything in a while:

Psycho, my new little A. junodi, finally created a burrow. Here, waiting for dinner



Antsy, A. ezendami, has become much more visible after his last molt. Hangs out outside of his burrow all the time now



My biggest baboon, Nacho, chillin'



Velvet loungin in her dish



Unlike Antsy, Lykos, my Aussie goliath, almost never comes all the way out. Here chasing a cricket



Denali jumped off the wall into her dish to catch a cricket. Came out with it in her mouth :D



Talk about secretive! Nerezza, my Borneo black, actually all the way out!



Thats all for now :)

Sweet collect Jeff. How big is your borneo black?
Thanks man, she's pushing about two and a quarter now. Beautiful little T but surprisingly not an exceptionally aggressive eater. Takes her a while to get warmed up to make a kill

I was going to ask you if it was a she. Definitely looked like it. Pretty neat man. Both of my females are picky eaters as well. Haven't heard of the A. ezendami tho. That a new sp.?

Btw, lets see some more of your h. schmidti.

Sexed female by molt. I only bought one sling, at a pretty penny, and got lucky as hell!


A. ezendami is sp. Mozambique. The same paper that renamed the king baboon had this listed as well.

Few more pics:


My T. truculentus out and about. Think female!



I love Tamarin's whiskers. Here asking to be picked up



This is probably now the biggest T I've held, Motley my little 2" pulchra. Ooh big man, holding one of the most docile Ts imaginable :rolleyes:



Aryana out for what I can tell the first time post molt, in the middle of the day no less. Strangely, she looks smaller than she did before.... Beautiful though!
