got new cam, not as good as the beastly thing that is used for the PB shots, but better than the crappy point and shoot i have been using :barf:

anyways, just figuring it out...
pics from today

e.murinus





and now for some REALLY crappy pics! bare with me, the glass is filthy, my photo skills are bad, theres webbing on the glass, and this lense isnt good for close ups!...

who can guess what that white colored blob in the background is??? :D
discovered this morning. this female is maybe 4'', not the biggest i have, but also not the smallest im working with. nonetheless, nice thing to wake up to ;)



PU male balfouri, should mature next molt

versicolor...male is a limp noodle...female is totally receptive and all that, male for whatever reason is terrified. blah.


well son of a B. i waited months and months for my PU male balfouri to molt, and hook out. was in premolt fooooooorrrrreeeeeevvvverrrrrrr. finally this morning i saw a kicked out molt, i picked through the substrate and prodded with tongs to see the new and improved hooked out metallic blue mature male, and to my horror this popped out:



upon further inspection of the molt two thing were made obvious: i still suck at sexing these things. and this is definitely not a dude.

cant complain over getting a female balfouri, but i will anyways. could have used that MM :razz:


heres a quick out of focus shot of my biggest girl with a useless out of steam male hanging out in back :D


new baby platty

The M. Balfouri are quite the lookers.
I'd have some already if the weren't such pet holes.

once they reach adult size they are out and about pretty often ;). my big girl is out maybe half the time. although all the ones that i have that are or were under 3.5" were pet holes for the most part :rolleyes:

So I've heard.... But for that amount of cash I'd rather have me a P. Metallica.;P
Though.... Maybe, I'll have one soon enough...

out of focus pic of MM purp


out of focus pic of MM n.chromatus...this guy survived having 2 fangs go all the way through his ass before i could pull the female off of him. since then she has been playing nice...but it really makes me question how important the internal organs on these guys are to them at this stage in their life. no kidding, both fangs went through.


crappy way to start the week...ROTTEN balfouri sac. 2nd bad one ive gotten, i have 2 girls fresh from molt and looking for a new MM :rolleyes:

thanks :)

girls eaten, males in. so far she seems plenty receptive, lots of tapping. male...taps but seems confused as to what to do next. shes holed up under the smaller piece of cork bark, and hes been hanging out up above, going to let them cohabitate for a while then probably sell or loan out the male :eek:....unless she eats him :p







not a tarantula. santa cruz area calisoga, much darker than my concord girl.


ive got a BIG girl and three of these little monsters, all molting frequently and outgrowing their vials :cool:


not a hybrid fan, but i am curious to see how this albovagans turns out
