[Shell]

Aww thanks shell, its not a big collection but I think its got some nice diversity. Glad to hear from you, we gotta catch up sometime!

You're welcome and we do! Get your butt on msn one of these nights.

 

[jbm150]

Yeah, definitely shell. Been so busy lately, but thats a good thing!


In honor of my new arrival this week (that I can't believe is coming!), here's a few pics of some spiders lurking around my place

B. emilia juvie male in new home

(looks more red in real life)


C. fimbriatus female hunting

A. junodi (ezendami?) female sling (hasn't molted in like 8 months :?)

Juvie O. aureotibialis female (should molt in a week or so)

I think she's nearing a molt....

Soon to be decorated home for my new acquisition

(going to give this treatment to my other KKs eventually, I'm tired of looking through colored plastic grating)

 

[jbm150]

Oa molting and new arrival!

Allow me to geek the flip out

My second O. aureotibialis molted much sooner than I was expecting but all went well; here flipped

Sliding out

Post molt beauty!

Her legs are so black but with beautiful light-colored highlights. Love this species!


Ok, I'm beside myself with excitement! I thought it was gonna be years before I'd get another shot at this species but Joshuai is my hero

Freakin Phlogius sp. Aussie goliath female

Her home

She launched herself out of her deli and ran immediately to the root burrow

She musta felt at home because she instantly started webbing

Overall shot. You can see how dark she is against the substrate background

Absolutely gorgeous

So excited to have this species, the largest OWer known. Collection is oh so close, just a few more

In anticipation of my new arrival tomorrow, here are some pics


First, the sad

Found one of my S. arndsti slings dead


Rehoused my largest schioedtei

Stayed like this for HOURS, then webbed a dirt burrow and that was the last I saw of her


This Aphono sling hangs like this all the time, seriously

I wish I could do this thing justice, my camera just can not capture its beauty!

She jumped up and snatched a cricket outta my fingers as I was pushing it through her feeding hole, funny pose with it

Molted this morning, put on tremendous size but didn't mature. Thought I might have been mistaken but nope, is a male. Penultimate now, I'm sure

Such a good looking spider, twice the heft he had been


Can't wait for the new lady to arrive, I know she's gonna be a stunner!

 

[Motorkar]

Nice collectio Jeff, good looking T's.

 

[jbm150]

Congrats on the female GBB pickup, Jeff. More shots of the darkness please.

 

[Anastasia]

Aryana have a nice cage, everything looks nice an organized

Thanks Jason, every collection needs one.

I can't wait to see her too, she molted two days ago (she seems to molt every 48 hours lol) and its tough to see her but looks like she gained nice size. Damn I can't wait to see those long, black legs

Aryana have a nice cage, everything looks nice an organized

Thanks Ana, its important to me that I can see all of my Ts and they don't look too cluttered. Its also easier to justify having more than a few Ts to guests, my gf, and my landlord if they're kept neat and orderly

 

[jbm150]

Coupla pics du jour

Rehoused Brisbane, this is one bad dude. This T does not know how to back down

M looking good, going to a new home this week. Will miss ya bud

Horrible pic of Nerezza

Her carapace is still really light colored, is that normal? She's gotta be pushing 3.5" now.... :?

Her new home, set up more arboreal style. We'll see how she takes to it

For an OWer, she is the most fearful T. I could have just rolled her into it, she was in such a tight ball. She blew up a cricket today though. She's too fast to get a decent pic lol


Female GBB's handiwork, a cricket's nightmare

Ts coming and going this week

 

[Shell]

Congrats on the female GBB! She's gorgeous.

 

[jbm150]

Hehe thanks Shell! How's yours doing? Didn't you finally get a sling a while back?

 

[smallara98]

In the past few days, I've rehoused 9 Ts. I led it off with LP who finally molted. I was debating on attempting to hold her and worked up the courage to do it!

Getting her out of her home, she bit the brush twice and did a little kicking. I figured I'd try to put keep her in a little deli to cool off. It worked; after 15 minutes, it was go time:

Turns out she was very skittish, running to and fro on the floor, on my hands, up my arms, and onto my shoulders

I was worried she'd fall and hurt herself so I didn't handle her for very long. She never kicked but I've finally felt what their hairs feel like: itchy but not bad. It was a lot of fun, I feel so much more confident working with Ts now...at least, the docile NWers.


I rehoused Cuffs, my male irminia,

Nerezza, my female Borneo black,

(couldn't get a decent shot of her but she is a beauty!)

two fimbriatus slings,

two P. crassipes slings,

and two aureotibialis slings.

Sorry for the lousy pics. I have the absolute wussiest spiders! Besides LP, all these typically angsty species and not a single threat pose or strike amongst them. Very disappointing :}

Now, that little male irminia isnt MM is he? lol, he would be a snack to a female! You should check out the size comparisan between a male and female king baboon.. Scary!!

Hmm, you know, he might have matured by now. I shipped him away a few months ago, I wonder how he's doing....


Check out the size difference between an Augacephalus junodi male and female. Now THAT is some scary stuff

Adios my little ones, said goodbye to these little beauties
