nothing personal but i always wonder what the huge attraction to the c crawshayi is? the colorations is nothing spectacular. i understand they are very fast? but i hear you dont see them much at all. is there something im missing?

Well, I got a couple kings on my collection as well..and what I have to say is..their absolutely awesome Ts ....ALWAYS ON THE MOVE!...one of my favourites by far,due to it's brick coloration ...and also, in my experience, in fact, I have to admit I live in Brazil and perhaps the weather help them out somehow,is about their grow rates....I catch them growing faster than I expected and I tell u guys much faster than any Brachy in my room.
That's not what I have seen people reading about it at all, they go like molting every other month.

I only have one C. crawshayi that was purchased on 10/9/03 at 1 inch. I built a tank for her shortly after and put her in. Well, she was too small for the tank. She burrowed into the substrate and did disappear. I would put in small crickets but after a while I thought she was dead. When I slowly disassembled the tank she popped out. Not sure how much she ate while in the larger tank but she was still pretty small, maybe even shrank. My records weren't as accurate as now. I put her into a smaller container to build her size back up, and now she is about 2 inches +/- 1/4 inch. She does seem to spend alot of time at the burrow entrance but also comes out and walkes around her small tank, chasing crix. When she walks she will throw up her first pair or two legs and take a step, almost like a strut. Kinda cool. I also live in Michigan, U.S.A., cold in winter! House stays about 75 degrees F.

Haha!!! If I panned out the photos, you would see the rest of my house. Organization is not my specialty. Thanks for the compliments.

Oh snap yeah, my A. minatrix made a horizontal webbing on the top front of her KK, its kind of annoying because i have to shove my hand all angled wierd into there to throw a cricket in her webbing.

I've been doing some shopping and here's what I've come up with...
Avicularia azuraklaasi

Avicularia bicegoi

Avicularia geroldi

Avicularia urticans

I also picked up a Brachypelma boehmei. He/she lost a pedipalp during shipping as you can see but is doing fine none the less.


My pet hole decided to come out and pay me a visit. So I took the opportunity to snap some more photo's. Haplopelma lividum


I think I'm going to have to "get bit" if you know what I mean, my photo bar is starting to fill up!

Here's another photo for you guy's/gal's. My Acanthoscurria brocklehursti after a fresh molt.

I use a Canon PowerShot SD550 with the indoor setting and flash, no doctoring of photo's. Anyway, I was amazed at how the hairs glowed on this guy with his new suit.

Awesome pictures! I love the little Avic babies, they are so cute!

 

[becca81]

Congrats on the new additions!

My wife is going to kill me!!! Snuck this one in yesterday.
Ceratogyrus brachycephalus

I've always been interested in the horned specie. This is my first one. Can you believe it was free? I think it will be hard to beat my C. crawshayi though. Time will tell...
