Mack&Cass' Photo Thread

Awesome shots! I love your snakes and the NDS is just gorgeous!

 

[Roski]

Nice L. megatheloides (and its name)! The H. gabonensis really catches my eye as well. You have a lovely collection, verts and inverts alike .

I'm pretty sure my perezmilesi is a sacmate of yours, the size of which is comparable to the smaller of your slings.

More pictures!

Thanks for all the comments, everyone! Naming them is one of my favourite things!

Can we say graaaaaaaavid?

Well, this one molted and Princess Peach is really a Prince....but the name isn't changing.

Getting so big!

He's one of my favourites, and he just molted! These Ts are so underrated:

We rehoused this one today, so I was able to get a picture!

Rehoused our OBT slings, too. This one was feisty.

We're getting about 20 new Ts this weekend so stay tuned for pictures of them!! A lot of them are ones you don't see very often! I'm excited if you can't tell by my abuse of exclamation marks.

Thanks Hobo.
Your "Super Crickio Bros" video had Mackenzie in tears, he was laughing so hard. Very entertaining.

New guys!!!

Well, we went to the reptile expo today, spent too much money, but we got 17 more Ts, a mygale and two true spiders! First I'll start off with some of our classic Ts and then move on to our new ones!!

We discovered tonight that one of our female emps is gravid

This guy was one of the original five Mackenzie moved in here with, he's now on a breeding loan and has done very well already, from what we hear!

Time to show off the new guys!!!!!!!

Pictures do not do this guy justice, he is phenomenal:

Size reference:

And the mature female to go along with him and Octavius (when Octavius matures)..she's also possibly gravid, we're gonna try her with Nero in a week or so, they've already been mated three times by the person we got her from, so fingers crossed that she isn't receptive!

Size reference:

She was scared:

This one is all scrunchy, but it was really fast and as soon as it got into the enclosure, we had to put the lid on right away..I'll get a better picture during feeding time

You can't really tell in the picture, but this one has more of a velvety look than your standard NW sling:

Finally!

No, there's not an extra set of quotation marks at the end. It's name is Majellin'...apostrophe intentional

Finally got one of these guys, too!

Okay, this is a terrible picture, but this thing is a speck and this is as good as it's getting until it grows a bit

It will be a surprise what this thing grows to look like...we've heard it's like a vagans but with orange setae instead of red, should be interesting

This one still looks like your run of the mill NW sling

This girl was a steal, and she's beautiful:

Mackenzie has been wanting this one for quite a long time:

You can't see it all too well, but these have eye spots on their abdomen:

This one is super fast, too:

This one is long overdue:

This is also not a very good picture, but it's pretty tiny:

I have been wanting one of these for a long time, and I finally got not just one, but two!

Now, this one has a story behind her name. My grandma's neighbour has had quite a few husbands in a short time, and she is loaded. So, I've named this lady after her:

In closing....

I think we're going to need another shelf...

Comments greatly appreciated!

Your T-Room looks tidy & Organized :clap: - Jason

 

[BCscorp]

Sweeet!
great new spiders and pics!
the chameleon is awesome too!

 

[maitre]

Awesome stuff!!!

I need some new racks.. mine are only 4ft high with three levels (only top level is used because the bottom level holds the feeders, the middle holds supplies)

Where do you get those types of plastic racks? What do they typically cost?

 

[Mack&Cass]

I managed to get some pictures of two of the new ones that were all scrunchy yesterday:

And we also had a couple of molts:

We also made a feeding video, I'll post that when it's done processing.

Are you sure 'Skeleton' is a Heteroscodra maculata? Sure looks Stromatopelma calceatum to me. I'd have to see the abdomen though. Congrats on tons of new spiders!

 

[Mack&Cass]

He's a mature male and got some good insertions with another hobbyists female. For a while, we thought he was an S. calceatum, too but when he was a juvie/subadult it was obvious he was an H. mac.

So the most obvious difference between a male S. calceatum and a male H. maculata would be the different colored ventral sides? Black for the S. cal and grey for the H. mac? Interesting. if you get a chance at some point I'd love to see a shot of the ventral side of Skeleton. I want to see your vid too but it won't load yet! Thanks for posting!

 

[Mack&Cass]

As much as I'd love to get you a ventral shot of Skeletor, he's not with us anymore. He's out on a breeding loan and that was the only picture I got of him...we never saw him. However, I do remember him being very grey ventrally, not black at all. I didn't even know that the S. calceatum had a black underside.

And that's weird that the video won't load - it's loading fine for me.

I waited and shortly after posting got the vid to work. Cool video guys!

 

[Mack&Cass]

Molts!
