Scott,
where did you get the Aphonopelma sp. from? (Carlsbad green)
just wondering!
Holley

 

[MrDeranged]

I got it from Tommy's Spiders. I believe he got it from someone else. Don't remember if it was from this year or last year. It looked nice and Debby liked it so we got it. I'll probably be posting pictures in the near future as it's one of the bigger ones compared with the other stuff we got, alot of slings.

Scott

 

[krystal]

all right, my turn:

1 a. geniculata (about 6" now)
1 b. boehmei (about 5" now)
1 p. terror (copyright holley—about 4" now)

i am ordering a l. parahybana sling from wayne crenshaw soon. yeah, yeah, my list's a little short, but currently my tarantulas reside in huge 10-gallon tanks, as i was once a believer in the "glass is better than pet pals" theory. however, one metal towel holder-turned expensive wooden shelf later, i'm regret my huge tank purchases and now wish i could replace them with pet pals. then i could stack them on top of each other and keep them in a nice area about the same size as my cubicle at work! (just kidding)

my future billions of tarantulas will be kept entirely in pet pals and in empty goldschlauger bottles. heh—i'm gonna get a small terrestrial species spiderling and grow it inside a goldschlauger bottle. it'll be my "spider in a bottle." don't ask me how i am going to clean the substrate, though. and how will i add more water without waterlogging the entire enclosure? and the air will get pretty rancid quickly with just small holes punched through the metal goldschlauger lid. hmmm, the more i think about this, the worse it sounds...well, it started out like a cool idea, anyway.

Gawd, I feel like the odd man out, so to speak !
Currently, I only have one 1.75 inch G. rosea spiderling,which I pray to the spider gods, hoping it'll be a female!


Other than that, I currently own three Eastern lubbers, several species of mantids that I'm attempting a breeding project with, four species of millipede, a dozen P. bigtutta, two A. cristatus nymphs that give new meaning to the word "tiny"- a juvie emperor scorpion, one huge ground spider nabbed from my backyard..


I have(hopefully) on the way: 2 S. lineola ooths and all the P. marginmaculata that I can handle.


Don't hate, relate !

Savian,
what is this one? I think I've heard the name before, is that what they sometimes call Curlyhairs?
Holley

 

[MrDeranged]

No, definately not curly hairs. Teddy Bear is another common name for the Belize cinnamon AKA scientific name Crassicrus lamanai. At least I think so

Oh, so now we're talking about all the pets we've ever had? okay, here goes.

2 dogs
3 cats
5 tarantulas
4 emperor scorpions
3 praying mantises
@10 dragonflies
More caterpillars of varios species than I am willing to count
1 pecan (PLEASE don't ask)
1 water monitor
2 ball pythons
rat snakes up the wazoo
1 king snake (escaped. somewhere in my parents' house there is still a snake skeleton).
2 or 3 water snakes (no, not water mocassins)
@7 skinks (5-lined variety and red-headed variety)
1 Tokay gecko
1 water dragon
1 basilisk
2 hognose snakes (both released, since I couldn't find a steady supply of toads).
2 or 3 toads.

Lots and lots of mice(though they probably don't count, since the snakes ate all of them)
at least 2 box turtles
1 unidentified turtle who was rescued after being hit by a car (didn't last a week)

And I can probably think of a few more, but that's enough for now. Keep in mind that this list is during my entire life, so some of these weren't technichally "my" pets. A few were shared by my siblings, and a few were owned by my parents.

whoami?

 

[Justin]

stuff

well actually that listed was what I have now..If I listed all that i have had my intire life, well I would be up till morning..The first time i ever caught a lizard my parents said I was a little more than 1 years of age.And I was catching frogs and toads and bugs before that.I was litterally crawling after them.

 

[MORBIUS]

the collection

As of this date I have, A Rosehair, Costa Rican zebra, Red knee, Mexican blonde, and the latest addition a Curlyhair. As we all know, (if your anything like me) the list is subject to change everytime you walk into a store or look at the classified ads on these links.

 

[Justin]

right

Well about 2 weeks ago that was the same for me, but my dad said I can't have anything until I get rid of something..What i think I am going to try is to to get rid of my gray rat snake that is 5' 5" and maybe he will let me have 65" of things( preferable spiders and scorps..Which leads another problem with him..He says that all scorpions can kill you. I tell him and tell him thats not true but he doesn't listen ( parents!!!) . well anyways I don't get but 12" away from my emperor and about 5" awa7y from my barks.
