Stan - I haven't seen you around the boards in a while! We got the racks at Wal-Mart for $34.87 or something, they're cheap and the best part is, they interlock.

And it's really not that organized. I'll have to post another picture when we get the new shelf set up.

Yeah, I've been hiding in my own personal little hole-in-the-tree (just like a pokie!) ;) but I've been lurking... still here.. just not as much participation.

I'm gonna have to go pick up some of those racks this weekend! My reptile room is a complete mess (actually not really lol) because I only have 2 racks and they only go up to my waist - quite small.

Nice, well rounded collection

Mack&Cass,

Y'all have a good, varied collection going there- and for quite some time. I think Hank is cool in being one of the meanest, yet having one of the most easygoing names of the group. In the first pic as adult it almost looks like he's waving at you- Aside from warning colors, looks are deceiving, right? Like them puffy legs on the Eucratoscelus, too. Way to go!
I only have a few for now but kept much more (mostly verts/herps) years ago. It's always nice to see larger, well-kept collections such as yours on the board.

Thumbs up,

Terry D

Okay... just.. WOW!!

That picture of Vlad is probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Svetlana.. I don't even know what to say! The name is beautiful, and that species is at the *top* of my list right now! :eek:

Thanks everyone!

Stan - Thank you, she's extremely intimidating, I won't even put my hand in her cage. Mackenzie takes care of all that. I just take pictures, haha. We're planning on breeding her once our male is good to come out of quarantine. You're first on our list for babies ;)

Jairi - Svetlana is absolutely beautiful, the picture doesn't really do her justice. She's far from nice though. When we were unpacking her, and Mackenzie went to poke her to get her off the papertowel, she threw up quite the impressive threat display. This was Vlad's first molt with us, so it was super cool to see - we even caught him in the act of doing it!!

Desi - We did get a lot at the expo. Too much, haha. We're actually also getting in an order from Dave next week that we're both super excited about...but we'll keep what we're getting under wraps until then so it will be a surprise.

Cass - I can only imagine! When I was helping Adversary unpack his sling, she shot off and headed for under the couch and I put my hand out to stop her (you may have seen the photo) and she was a doll... afterwards, I heard they are normally not so nice! :eek: I was glad she spared me the attitude, but it was better than having her get under the couch!

I am not a huge fan of vinagaroons, but Vlad almost makes them cute! lol

Thanks everyone! Seems Vlad is pretty popular. It's actually awesome to watch him eat with his claws. Very refreshing after feeding T after T after T, haha.

Our awesome GBB molted, confirmed male, but I'm sure we won't have any problem finding him a lady friend when the time comes.


This one looks female ventrally, but we'll be able to confirm with her next molt:



We finally got a third shelf and our collection is organized.

Thanks for looking

Cass

Mackenzie's first T


Hopefully this lovely lady will lay her sac soon






And two of my favourite girls, both who've molted recently and this is the first time out of their burrows

Thanks :)

This was Svetlana's response when we tried to feed her:


Our Heterothele gabonensis matured just a while ago and we packed him up and shipped him off today so he can go mate. We're hoping it's successful so we can get more H. gabs out there...and we also want to start a communal with these beauties.

Here he is kind of scrunchy, not too sure what's going down:


Then Mackenzie gave him a little push on the abdomen to try to get him to go into the pill vial, and Cobra wound up on Mackenzie's back. So I took the opportunity to get a picture. Look at those legs! :eek:

He was about 2" when he matured, and a lot of that is due to those long legs. Very awesome species and I cannot wait for microscopic babies.

Since no one answered my question in the heterothele genus pic thread I was wondering are there multiple bloodlines of these guys going around or are the only ones from Cedrik's original sac. Or did he have different females mated to different males. I'm just wondering if there is only one bloodline going around or what. Thx.

Protectyaaaneck - there are multiple bloodlines of the H. gabonensis going aroung. From what I can remember, Cedrik produced two sacs with these guys. There was also another user who had another unrelated bunch. The person who is getting our male bought the unrelated bunch from said user when he got out of the hobby. I think that's how it's all working out. The person to PM about this would be AbraxasComplex (who is getting our male) or even CedrikG. All I know for sure is that there are multiple bloodlines.
