I held my A. geniculata :D

This girl has a wild feeding response - when she detects movement in her enclosure, she attacks everything that moves and drips venom in her excitement. It doesn't take much to get her in a threat posture. She doesn't kick hairs, either - just sinks her fangs right in. lol

Here I am handling her for the first time. :)

More spider-cuddling

And since I was apparently "asking for it" regarding urticating hairs, I went ahead and held a bunch of Ts just for kicks.

Took some more pics :D

First, a few geckos.

This girl belongs to gecko_keeper and his wife. Somehow, she had broken her jaw, and it was just dangling about a month ago. I asked if I could take her home and attempt to patch her up, and of course, they let me. I splinted and put the jaw in a sling, and I hand-fed her with a dropper. She's recovered completely now and can even eat crickets with no issue. She has a slightly deformed "lip" but it doesn't seem to limit her at all. Yay! She is still slightly underweight from the ordeal, but she's gaining ground now that she can eat insects again. ;)


Her daughter, Gator:
watchin a movie on hulu!

exploring my desk:



My tailless female, Fern:


My little female, who still doesn't have a name:


My HUGE male, renamed Mango, that I got from Frank:

And now, some tarantulas. ;)
My little avics are steadily growing!
A. versicolors:






A. purpurea:

A. minatrix:

A. avicularia that I got from Frank as a freebie with some geckos a while back:

One of the A. avic babies that gecko_keeper and I bred:

All of his siblings!

A small male E. vulpinus:

Mature male E. campestratus that I have on loan from Patrick:

Male E. pulcherrimaklaasi (supposedly)


C. fasciatum female that I got from Kim (reptscue):

P. scrofa baby hiding her face! <3

B. angustum female:

Acanthoscurria spp. female that I dug up today because I hadn't seen her in about 4 months. lol She's fine!


Female Pamphobeteus spp. "South Ecuador"

Female E. campestratus...1 of 2.

This is a G. aureostriata female who is in a really bad mood!


My smaller female B. smithi. She was my 2nd tarantula, and I've had her since she was 1.5"!

More pics!

My fatter than fat can be L. parahybana female. I'm hoping she molts. I'm embarrassed that she is this fat.

My male B. klaasi juv. I have a female, too, but she's due to molt so he's prettier right now. :)

Sable the G. pulchra. She still hasn't molted and doesn't appear pre-molt, but I'm think that the odds of getting a sac are pretty slim at this point. :(

6" or so female P. cambridgei. She molted in mid-January, and I hope to have her meet a nice boy sometime this week. (Thanks again Patrick!)

My very favorite T, an A. bicoloratum female:

My little female pastel BP. She's the prettiest one. :)


my cute little fat-tailed gecko:

You have an excellent collection Katy. All of your animals look great. I bet you paid a pretty penny for that pastel ball. Good work on the pics. Hope to see more.

Thank you very much :)

To be honest, I really didn't pay much for her. I just can't resist a good deal. haha
