a soldering iron with interchangable end pieces (different diameters and shapes, originally designed for sketching in wood and other surfaces). best $14.99 i ever spent. :D

New Arrivals:

2 mature male A. avicularia for my girl. They appear to have a longer legspan than her, but their carapace size is roughly equal, so I'm going to give it a shot.




My first M. robustum!!!! (starting with the nice "butt threat" I got when I uncovered it!)

i've been lazy about putting up pictures, despite new critters.

but i got some shots of today's arrivals:

2 of the 4 A. moderatum slings (1.5")



female C. lamanai ("Cassia"). she wouldn't get off that paper towel... finally got her off, and she's already laying a trail of webbing across her enclosure.


her future boyfriend C. lamanai ("Coumarin")

another shot of "munchie" who is still alive and well despite her abdominal injury that didn't completely resolve with her recent molt.

munchie's all woman! :p she failed to lay a sac with her last breeding, but i don't think the male ever figured out how to insert. i have a 5+" male who obviously see her when he matures.

i'd like for her to molt one more time before i breed her, to allow her to completely heal from her injury (which i assume was a fall in her tank, though it couldn't have been far). i don't know how high she would be at risk of abdominal tearing if she became gravid before another molt. any opinions?

fresh post-molt injury scarring:


a few days later:

my H. maculata, "Rorschach" actually came out last night! and she stayed still on the side of the tank long enough for me to open the door and take a couple shots.

good thing I took the pictures... she's already gone back into hiding.
