Mack&Cass' Photo Thread

Awesome. One of the most satisfying experiences is breeding Ts, in my opinion.

Oh it definitely is. This is our first breeding project and I can't want to breed some more Ts. It's really rewarding opening that egg sac and seeing it full of growing eggs!

Congrats on your first one! 500 whew, I hope you have alot of vials.

 

[Ariel]

look at all the eggs with legs!!!! Congrats, that must be just an absolutely great feeling. I can't wait to start some of my own breeding projects.

The Parabuthus transvaalicus is such an amazing scorpion. I love mine and can't wait for her to pop! I love the fact that with scorpions, regardless of gender, you're going to have a very cool looking adult. Sweet pickup and awesome taste in inverts!

Just went through all your guys' pics. I can't wait to get myself a Heterothele gabonesis and to do a communal of my own, as well. Awesome pics. I appreciate your time and thank you for sharing.

Those eggs with legs are toooooooo cute, guys! Congrats : )

 

[Mack&Cass]

Thanks Stan! They should be second instars in about 2 weeks! They're so cute haha.

Our new guys came today. I'm forewarning you, the pictures aren't the greatest because we didn't get a single slow T so we wanted to make sure we got it in the vial haha. I hope to get better pictures during feedings.

Here they are!

Not pictured:
Cyrtopholis cursor "Mouse"

Okay, we debated on whether or not to post this but we're going to do it, because it's a very cool spider and we believe we are both careful, responsible and experienced enough to be able to deal with it.

We don't want to debate on whether this animal should be kept or not, because we already have it and aren't going to fight about whether we should or not. We're asking politely to please not start a fight, and if you have anything negative to say to us, then feel free to PM us.

With that being said, comments are welcomed and appreciated, we just don't want to muck up our photo thread with fighting and so on.

Like I said, we love comments! We have more packages coming next week so make sure to check in on that!

3" DLS. He's pretty large. It's kind of pathetic to see him try to climb though haha. That's the benefit of them, they may have the venom but they can't climb at all.

Love the Sicarius and the A.anax!
The names are pretty creative too, lol.
Keep 'em coming!

Wow! A bunch of nice new additions. Loving that e. olivacea and t. subcaeruleus. Did someone in Canada recently hatch out some subcaeruleus?

Nope, they came in on a recent import.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Mackenzie can't wait to start feeding them, it's always interesting to see their individual eating habits. Hopefully I'll get some better pictures then.

I also just realized that this order put us over the landmark 100 tarantulas (not including the 500+ first instar albos of course)!

Very cool. I'm very jealous. Btw, it's olivacea.

I always spell it wrong, haha. One time I'll spell it with an a, another time with an e. It's fixed now!

Thanks!

Beautiful Latrodectus!!!

Your collection was already awesome, now its just out of control! Great species, great pics, keep 'em coming.

Enjoy that Sicarius

 

[Mack&Cass]

Thanks guys!

Enjoy that Sicarius

We are enjoying the Sicarius. He's weird, that's for sure. Pretty fast moving, but when he tries to climb the walls it's sad to see him try so hard but fail, haha.
