My lovely Avic. sp. lady





G. pulchripes #1 - This one is always on the move. Today it even left webbing on me :}









G. pulchripes #2 - This one stays hidden way more. I did have to make it come out in the open though because it's hide was unstable & I was afraid of it getting squished, so I adjusted it.





A. hentzi - Just molted last week.

My favorite of my 2 G. pulchripes. This one is all about being in the open:



Feeding time for the new slings I just received yesterday!

Can you find the P. ornata sling?



Can't hardly see it, but it took down the cricket in a back flip with it landing under the cricket {D





The rest are the 3 T. gigas:

Nom nom!

My female Avicularia molted earlier in the week. Took her outside today for some natural lighting pictures.

Nice Avi! I have the same kind of Avicularia but I do not know what kind of genre? Where purchased? Mine was bought as a A.velutina

I don't know what she is :( I think that coloration is pretty generic amongst the various different Avic locals. Mine came from a pet store that doesn't know anymore then "pinktoe".

I was unhappy with my avic's tank, so I switched it up with fake vines & grass:



Also gave my P. murinus more dirt in his 1gal container & now he's happily webbing like he should. Can also see what he thinks of his waterdish :rolleyes:



Finally caught my P. reduncus sling out, just wish I could catch it out, with the top off, & some light shining, but it just doesn't cooperate :rolleyes:

Unpacking my newest Ts.

P. murimus, 3", female. Really didn't give me a hard time at all.





P. cambridgei, 3", unsexed.





3 days later it's finally come out of hiding & has started webbing up a corner. I love it's color combined with the fake tree trunk & silk green foliage:

I so, so love my setup with the P. cambridgei. The trunk looks so real, although I designed it after what's found here in NC.





And my male P. murinus is insane. If he burrow falls, I will laugh at him, {D
If you look in the middle, towards the top of the substrate, there's about 2-3" of nothingness under there. Only webbing is hold up several inches of substrate.



Closer, the substrate ends just under the flash. He's created a tunnel going up both sides.

Yes he is :D My female has dug down a few inches & now appears to be tunneling towards the middle. Will be interesting to see how she differs in her design.

I gave both a half substrate filled 1gal container to let them go either way.
