Species Poecilotheria metallica

If that's the prettiest girl you get your hands on for the rest of the year, you still haven't done bad at all!!!
I'm jealous, wish I could have been there.
Yeah, L.A.T.E.!!!

 

[rustym3talh3ad]

we wish you were there too, i also free handed the L. Violaceopes as well as a C. crawshayi sling, and ended the night with Mikes H.Mac, that little bugger can JUMP! it was sweet as hell hope we do another soon!

 

[Neuroticax]

Very nice.

 

[rustym3talh3ad]

Very nice.

thank you. it was funny cuz it took some convincing that i was gonna be able to handle her, since no one has before, and after i did everyone wanted a go at it lol.

 

[dalitan]

so nice....i wish i can handle like that someday

 

[spartybassoon]

Bugmomma that is one nice bug!! And props to rusty for handling a pokie!

Very nice! Although I wasn't a member of L.A.T.E. at the time (it wasn't created yet) I did get to hold a P. metallica. Remember Rochelle? You and Jbrd were there. That was so cool they are definitely very neat critters (although at the time I placed a bit too much trust in everyone else's statement's of "it won't bite". It didn't, but I now know better, lol).

 

[pedipalps]

Wow! That was cool.

 

[jb7741]

That was pretty cool. Makes me wish I lived in MI:worship:

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Thanks go to Russ for giving me the courage to handle my most prized T....:worship:
I have stared at her with a fierce yearning for so long....but without jbrd here to back me up if things go wrong - I wasn't brave enough to risk it. I'd rather take the bite; than have her get hurt, inadvertently. With all the fine folks at the meeting - I felt it would be safe enough for her to come out and play...hehehe!
This is by far the softest T. I have ever handled...she felt like she was walking on rabbit fur! No kiddin'!
"Iris" was a true lady and seemed to not mind being the center of everyone's attention...she even moved one of our members to tears at her beauty...and I think she knew it, too.

Thanks again for posting these pics, Russ! I'll be adding some of my own as soon as I figure out how to load them.

p.s.... thanks again to KenTheBugGuy for sending me this fabulous girl!!

 

[crpy]

I'd like to be tough and say I'm just allergic to your dog...but that's a lie.

I admit it. I was the cry baby. I couldn't help it. Russ has a pic with her in my hand and tears welling in my eyes. I'm emo...sorry guys.

But she was soooooooo pretty.

 

[rustym3talh3ad]

yeah well thank you Rochelle for allowing me to be a stupid ballzy novice to the world of T's, without people around who trust my "ju-ju" i would just be some kid picking up really nasty T's all by himself. its nice to know that EXPERIENCED and KNOWLEDGEABLE people near me care for my well being enuff to say "hey im too f***ing afraid of this thing to go near it, wanna hold it?" hahaha

i just wish i coulda got a video of the H. Mac jumping from hand to hand, that was friggin AMAZING lol...never knew anything about them until Mike said "hey wanna hold my jumping Tarantula?" im so gettin one for my collection and ive already got a plan for how i wanna build its tank.

 

[Rochelle]

I have video of the H.mac jumping from hand to hand like a whacked out crack head.....
Come on over and I'll let you see it. Maybe between the two of us - we can figure out how to transfer the vid.
Ime a kumpuder dummee.
You did an awesome job as a newbie with cajones.... you inspired the rest of us so-called oldtimers to new heights. I'm about to go get her out for some more communing with momma...I just can't seem to help it, now that you've broken the "seal"...lol!

Now...go get that big regalis girlie out of the basement and give her some loooove.....

 

[rustym3talh3ad]

Now...go get that big regalis girlie out of the basement and give her some loooove.....

once she gets past her "ok im freaked out and pissed to the max" stage i might actually attempt such a thing. dont go gettin urself bit, just cuz shes a sweet Iris is still a No No on the hand held, shes not a palm pilot.

 

[Agent Jones]

So envious! She's gorgeous.

 

[rustym3talh3ad]

come to our next meeting then. BTW hows the roomy with the rosie?

Pretty wonderful. She's been googlin' that shit all night and we've got her cricket condo all set up. We'll be back tomorrow after 4 so she can get her sling some nomnoms and I can go crazy making a new enclosure for Prestigious Winston, the Grand Poobah. Will you be around?

And what is this LATE business all about?

 

[rustym3talh3ad]

AIM me if ud like to know about all the wonderfully stupid things some of us here in lansing do, and be careful with lango on here...u must keep it pg in order to remain a member so no S*** F*** A$$ C*** (male or female parts) lol.

 

[Lil_ladyTs]

I was in Lansing for 2 1/2 months up until this week. I never knew any of this was going on. I would've loved to bring some of my big pokies out. My highland subfuscas are dying for some attention.

 

[rustym3talh3ad]

well pay attention to the board and if ur ever in the area when we have a meeting feel free to contact one of us. its a small group right now but we are always down to meet new faces.
