Lori's Babies

[funnylori]

Merry Christmas to me!

I got a Brachypelma albopilosum for Christmas . Here it is in a bigger vial. It is sitting in the bottom of the burrow it built immediately upon arriving in the larger quarters. The substrate is a good two inches deep.
I hadn't had it long when I saw the little dude swinging by a claw from the top of the vial I got him in and I about flipped, I thought the poor thing was a gonner... But it seems to be doing fine in the bigger vial. Little vials aren't ment for much more than transportation anyways... Let this be a lesson, move your T's into their proper homes as soon as they arrive, don't wait for disaster to strike. Hours count!

I almost forgot!

I almost forgot, I got some better pictures of my OBT the other day...

Here is one prize shot of the little devil wandering about the enclosure. There is a bit of flash glare, but the color and focus of the T came out stunning in my opinion.

I put in more soil and some greenery for the little thing, and since then it has webbed up an amazingly complicated series of tunnels and thrown dirt over everything!

A better shot of my new P. irminia

Here is a much better shot of my new P. irminia. I still haven't named the bugger. It is much more 'social' than my other one, and by social I mean demon spawn that is occasionally seen by the light of day. ;P

:clap: Verry nice pics, I'm ready for some new babies...

More pics :clap: Pretty awesome your genic molting like that, you had a great view. :drool:

 

[funnylori]

I keep my genic in a ferro rocher candy box... It is about the size of a small brick and perfectly fits a 1" T, tiny plastic flowerpot, some green leaves, and about a half of an inch of dirt. I drilled a few holes in the top and taped the lid down with blue masking tape, and Tah dah! I find that it is perfect for raising slings that are 3/4" to 1''. It is crystal clear and makes picture taking a breeze, except when the camera hits the scratched part when my drill slipped. Since the genic molted, it has outgrown its enclosure. I am going to have to do the ole' switch-a-roo here pretty soon.

Avicularia versicolor

So, Indigo was being photogenic. And I was enjoying holding her. So, I put her on some giraffe print fabric I am making pajamas for a doll out of, and this is the best of what I got.

OBT Molted

So my OBT molted yesterday (I think). I didn't know this until I was halfway through putting it in a bigger enclosure. It has been a tarantula shuffle here lately.

awesome looking OBT

A few thoughts: Amazing pictures! OMG, they are wonderful! What kind of camera are you using? Also, all of yours Ts have top coloration, and look absolutely wonderful in all pics, a truly remarkable job by you for caring them so well and for taking such good pics!:clap:

Indigo is beautiful and also seems to be docile from what I hear about you handling her... I want one so bad!!

 

[funnylori]

I have a hand-me-down half broken fujifilm digital camera. I will find out its exact model name when I get home (I didn't bring it to school with me today).
Believe it or not, IHeartMantids was going to throw it off of the top of our dorm when I snatched it from him. Me, "What are you doing!?" Mike, "I don't need this piece of junk..." Me, "Well I don't have a digi, so it is mine now." And, now I have a mostly good camera.

Thanks for the compliments! It really boosts my self confidence that maybe I can manage to take care of that many needy T's.

Indigo is such a sweety! She can be a bit of a spaz sometimes. When she gets a small breeze or something blows on her, she bolts. And teleporting T's can be a bit unnerving some times. Some people have crazy versicolors that bite all the time, and others have tame gentle ones. Personally, I love mine to death, and I wish I could kiss her. Stupid bristles...

 

[funnylori]

Okay. My camera is a Fujifilm Fine pix 2650. It is only 2 mega pixels, (I want a new cannon rebel with 10 mp!) and it either requires a spot light on the subject or the flash goes crazy and acts like one of those old fashioned exploding things... For spot lighting issues I use a 4D cell maglite with LED bulb (SO BRIGHT!).

"I was being social so I got a treat!" - A. geniculata

So, my geniculata was being social today. It was the first time since I moved it into a larger enclosure that I was able to walk into my bedroom and see it out and stay out. Usually all I get is a glimps of legs and a rooster tail of dirt as it runs into its hide. So I fed it a cricket for being a good little tarantula.

"It's crickety goodness!"

 

[funnylori]

"It's crickety goodness!"

MMMmmm! Crunchy! :}

 

[Ando55]

"It's crickety goodness!"

With all the love the owner has for Ts! :clap: Nice genic, i bet after a while 1 won't be enough, your genic would be "once you pop, you can't stop" when it comes to crickets....;P

Who says T's dont need water dishes!

So here's my male G. rosea drinking out of his water dish! Now, I usally keep it full, but it happend to dry up the other day. I noticed he was walking around in it, tapping a bit like he was confused. I knew something was up, because he usually avoids it. So I dumped some water in. Usually when water splashes on him he bolts, but this time he slowly climbed into the water dish as I was filling it and took a long drink.
