Thanks guys, I'm so happy to have these species!

Man, can they! So fast and they run distances too. Gotta stay on your toes with 'em. I can't wait til mine grow up to look like yours, Crawl. Those're gorgeous pics you have in your thread of your girl

Its awsome how when they are that size, and run for a bit, then stop, and go into poeci stance,....they think you cant see them anymore...hilarious

Once they are grown, they tend to stand there ground a bit more, rather than run....my girl is actually really calm once she is out of her enlcosure.

One of the new kids molted (actually, almost all of the new kids molted lol)



One of my favorite girls has been coming out lately. She's due for a molt but been seemingly ravenous. Not sure what's up....

Ici post molt

Haha I just watched some cool stuff unfold

Last week, Ici molted. Just now, I tossed a cricket in with her and lo and behold, her beauty


She killed the cricket and tucked it into her lair.

She then proceeded to do a little housekeeping. She tore down the webbings around the entrances, then dipped inside and brought out a big bolus

Of course, she flicked it into her water dish :/

She went back inside and pulled out her old exo

I'm not sure what her decision-making process was but the whole thing went something like this: she drug it all around her enclosure, dropped it in her water dish, pushed it around and then started to head back to her burrow. After thinking about it, she turned around, picked the exo back up, drug it around her tank again, up the walls, went back to her lair, thought about putting it behind the cork, decided against it, brought it back out, and dropped it back into her water dish. Seemingly satisfied, she disappeared back into her clean home to feast. Why oh why didn't I video all that???

Yeah she is, just a gorgeous species!

New arrivals!
Did a quick trade with a small planet overrun with hostile extraterrestrials, ie LV-426, ie John :)
Received these two beautiful red baboons Cithari...I mean Pelinobius muticus
Bigger one, about 3" and ventrally looks maybe possibly female


Smaller, bout 2.25", possibly male


Lovely little buggers, the smaller one immediately started digging. The larger one took to the skies lol
Thanks dude!

Holding Reina

Going to be rehousing some Ts over the next few days, Reina was first. Wanted to see what she's really like so I wanted to try holding her. She was a little defensive in her home, striking my brush once, but never kicked which surprised me. After spending a few minutes in a cup, she was very very docile. My gf watched and took pics...from afar ;)







Such a sweetheart :D

Mas rehousings

Today has been a T day with lots of goings-ons (rehousings, feedings, and Tieri molting).

Rehoused my big H. gigas girl first, here is her new enclosure:

These things are new at The Container Store and fantastic for burrowers!

Here's the young lady



Next was Tumble, my little A. brocklehursti

New home is a little big for her but she'll quickly grow into it. She ate a cricket and bee-lined it right into the cork burrow :D

Closeup



Lastly was Aura, my little pain in the ass O. aureotibialis (housed into a container like the gigas)


It was all threatpose, all the time :p




45 min later, she finally calmed down


Maybe it's just me but this is one insanely gorgeous species :drool:

It looks like I haven't checked in here in a while.

Great pics, Jeff. I love the ones of you holding the emilia! And that O. aureotibialis, is one goregous spider!

I hope all is well, we haven't talked in ages, need to catch up soon.

Aw, you did well! She's gorgeous, I miss my emilia.

Definitely, get your butt on msn one of these nights, and fill me in on things. :)
