My Pets (photos)

[SkyeSpider]

I see a lot of other people doing this, so I thought I'd share

What follows are pictures of all my personal inverts and other pets. These photos were taken with three different cameras (two belonging to JakeRocks), so the quality will vary I hope everyone can get some form of enjoyment out of these. I'll add more spiders as I get more.

First up, my favorite tarantula. Her name is Gion, and she's a T. blondi. I've had her since she was under 2". She's now full grown (10.5") and gravid from a breeding with spiderman2's male. I can't wait to see her little babies!

Next up: a baby A. versicolor. My male produced ~70 in a breeding with one of Todd Gearheart's females. I only kept three for my personal collection, and they're all adorable!

This is my favorite tarantula species, by the way.

This is my wee B. albopilosum who's still a first instar. I got it from Jake, who just bred them. This is such an awesome species!

This is my baby B. boehmi I got from Todd Gearheart. It's around 4th instar, I think. I love how you can already start to see a hint of the colors to come

My beautiful B. smithi female, Edana. She's been in my collection for a few years now (bought her from Todd Gearheart). She's such a docile thing, and certainly the favorite of most of my friends.

One of my personal favorites, my female C. cyanpubescens, Quirk. I got her from Todd Gearheart last year (noticing a trend here?). She's a little spaz that loves to escape when I'm feeding her, but she's too pretty for me to ever hold it against her!

This is my new C. faciatum I got at F.I.R.E. over the weekend. It's fattened up, now, but I still haven't had a chance to sex it. Truly a beautiful spider.

One of the jewels of my collection: My E. murinus female: Grim. I got her from a pet shop, here in town (to my great surprise!). This is my idea of true beauty in the tarantula world. I could stare at the paterns on her for hours (and have!).

Oddly enough, she insanely docile. I don't understand it.

-Bryan

 

[SkyeSpider]

This is the most frustrating spider in my collection. Her name is Kieran. She's a female G. pulchra. She's 2" long... AND TWO YEARS OLD! This is probably the slowest growing spider I've ever seen!

Still, she's a sweetheart.

I got her from Glade's Herp two years ago for only $5! Talk about a bargain.

-Bryan

 

[SkyeSpider]

What collection is complete without a G. rosea? This is a female I rescued from a pet shop whom I later bred with a male from another pet shop (she's gravid now). Her name is Medusa, for any curious.

Another of my favorites, my female N. chromatus, Nightcrawler. This girl has some true personality!! Whether it's teleporting (she doesn't move, she teleports) to pounce on food or me misting her, or throwing up huge threat displays, she's always doing something.

I got her from Todd Gearheart about a month before Quirk. She's not even a year old, and she's already 4" long!

-Bryan

 

[SkyeSpider]

One of my other new ones from the F.I.R.E. show (bought from Inland Sea Reptiles). This is my new P. cancerides. I can't say much about her, yet, but she does have some attitude.

-Bryan

 

[SkyeSpider]

Another one of my neat new additions. This is my new solifugid, Critter. I don't know much about Critter, except to stay away from those jaws. YIKES!

-Bryan

 

[SkyeSpider]

They don't come any cuter. This is my rat (half dumbo, half hairless), Evil. You can call her Eve, though.

-Bryan

 

[Socrates]
