LP - Psycho (actually attacks my fingers if i put them in in enclosure)
G. Rosea - Phat Tony (because hes fat)

Columbian black and white Tegu - Taco (I know hes not a T but well I was eating some mini tacos one night and he jumped from my recliner to my end table and stole one.)

I have other species also without names until I can think of more.

1. Mature female G pulchra 6.5" to 7"- Scottie- was Scotty when at first thought- and rather embarrassingly for a long period of time, i might add- to be a male! Named after Scottish Terrier for her proportionately large fangs and overall sleek black look- and also for her attitude the past year-and-a-half! She went from being a t that would crawl out of the enclosure into the hand nearly every time it was opened to a maniacal beast that will try to rip your hand off if you look at her wrong!! Most of that I attribute to misplaced prey aggression. She'll eat anything including the kitchen sink- Lol! Raised from a .75 sling bought from Tarantulas.com in early November 2009.

2. Dozer- 4"+ juvy/subad prob female G pulchra- The name says it all, although thankfully she/it has cut back on the earthworks and filling of water dish somewhat in the past few months. Another good eater and still tries to crawl in the hand frequently. The most handle-friendly t I've owned thus far. Acquired in early (maybe March- records not handy as I can't multi-task) 2010 as a .25"-.5" sling from Joel Miller of Spiderworks.

3. Little-Big-Butt- 3" juvy prob f G pulchra and sac-mate of Dozer. She the proud owner of a GARGANTUAN opisthosoma and tiny prosoma. She just sits there and does absolutely nothing, hardly ever molts and is a dainty eater. She will only accept pre-killed crickets and she'd probably be happier if you ate 'em for her, too. She occasionally tries to crawl into the hand but usually just sits there like lump of black coal. She's my wonderful little fatty!!

Cheers,

Terry

 

[Theist 17]

My G. Pulchripes is still unsexed, so I've got options. Persephone, or Anansi.

"and she'd probably be happier if you ate'em for her,too" - lol! That one made my day...awesome!

 

[Sesame Sam]

Few of mine have names. But my first was a B.smithi called Simon, and I had a mature male OBT that I named Alfred the great but he popped his clogs last year. The one that I keep from his brood I'll name Alfred the second when I decide which one to keep.

 

[mark e sic]

I call my A.purpurea sling "pelusa" spanish for lint ball... lol

 

[seacowst]

1 of my g.rosea's name was rosie o donald (as in the talk show host)

 

[SchmitisGal]

My Aphonopelma Schmiti was named "Schmidti". Before you think I am really unoriginal, the reason was becauseone of my best friends whose last name is Schmidti, found him for me in Sedona, AZ and then when I realized he was an A. Schmiti, it just felt like destiny to name him such. Now Im on the hunt for a younger, possibly female A.Schmiti. But my male was the bomb! Very docile and never got "a$$ed up" (You all know what I'm talking about with the thing T's do) at anything... He was COOL!

 

[AngryMothNoises]

I only have one, but I am getting two new slings!

my rose hair's name is Dex Machina. We call her Dex for short.

 

[UralOwl]

G.rosea - Cuddles
G.pulchra - Ziggy Stardust
B.vagans - Teddy
B.smithi - Pumpkin
B.albopilosum - Aragog
B.boehmei - Ember
Aphonopelma sp. "New River" - Skittles
A.versicolor - Miss Snugglebottom

I admit, I mainly like to give my tarantulas cute names to further the belief of my friends & family that I'm insane.

 

[vickywild]

H.lividum-Cuddles
P.miranda-Hum bug
T.blondi-Boo
B.smithi-Hooker
G.rosea juv-Ben
