so here's some pictures I've been taking of my collection.


GBB Settling into it's new upgraded digs



B. boehmei This is when I got 2 of these in October, it's at least double this size now. Updated pics when I can.



L. parahybana received three of these the same time as I got the B. boehmei's. They are now about 3 times this size.


This is a picture of my whole collection as of October 2014 minus my wolf spider. There's 2 Hapalopus sp. Columbia/large, 2 Brachypelma boehmei, 3 Lasiodora parahybana, 1 Lasiodora difficilis, 1 Pterinochilus murinus, 2 Grammostola porteri (one not pictured), 1 Avicularia avicularia(?) sp. petstore, and 2 Chromatopelma cyanopubescens

Yes, I think 15 qt. Everyone except them have been upgraded.
You think the GBB is small now? Lol, its at least doubled its size since I got it in October. I'm going to try to get updated pics tomorrow if its not raining. The GBB though is a current pic.

[ratluvr76]

ok, I found the pictures I'd taken of the GBB's new set up. I made it with a 3 gallon drink dispenser. I think it turned out pretty good myself.

good eye, ALL of my slings are in pre-molt but the LD is still hardening up from a molt.

I use a Carl Zeiss Cyber-shot 14.1 mega pixel camera by Sony. It takes pictures in HD.

[ratluvr76]

This is the picture of after my new spiders arrived yesterday, everyone's resting comfortably. Only one not pictured here is the B. albo.



Here's a little collage of some shots of Stan the Lasiodora difficilis after his maturing molt. He's so handsome. Check out the classifieds section, he's for sale.



One of the little bitty ones. Gosh they're so CUTE!!



And finally, already one of my favorites of the ten I got yesterday, one of my itty bitty P. irminia.

 

[Blueandbluer]

Love that the irminia already has bumblebee butt! Great haul.

 

[pyro fiend]

Your more ballsy then me i dont unravel my T unless they havent exited the vial in a hr... Props there.. But i learned my lesson on speed with a poec and prefer to let them settle in.. And if that means my irminia is using her vial as a home still then so be it lol(she rly is)

 

[ratluvr76]

All four of the psalmos made a break for it lol. I have little crumpled up bits of slightly damp paper towel every where. They just ran to the nearest one and hid. Easy peasy really, especially since I expected them to so I wasn't caught off guard.

The thrix's attacked their mealworm pieces tonight with gusto lol. I love them so much

Bloo, both the irminia's have their markings already, its incredible. The cambridgei's are awesome too.

And I'm officially gushing lol, sorry.

I hope all goes well when those Psalmos grow up and get bigger - they're fast now as slings, they're teleporting as adults if spooked

My plan is to rehouse them into their adult enclosures at around 2.5 to 3 inches and hopefully never have to get then out lol. Front access doors ftw lol.

In all honesty, I think I'll be ok. At the same time I am very careful not to get overly cocky
