Great shots!!! i adore that GBB, so cute!

Thanks!!!! I love those GBB's. The centerpiece of my collection.....probably because I paid a pretty penny for them, but they are quite entertaining. Personally, I like how they look as slings. Some part of me wishes they would look as cool when they get older, but we all know how beautiful they are in the end!!!

That GBB sling take down that huge cricket?

Yup!!!! You'd be surprised at what a sling could take down. Especially hardy little terrestrial battletanks like GBB's, OBT's, some of the Brachys, and the C. fasciatum. Those things hit HARD!!!!!!

Yep!!! Avics are my favorite genus. They pretty well fit my description of "perfect" tarantulas: Beautiful, even-tempered, handlable, and come in a modest sized package.

My A. versicolor, "Jezebel."

Yeah, I got him this past June, and now he's a 3" demon on wheels, LOL.

great pics! and $40 well spent indeed. she's gorgeous!

Ain't she???

If you think that's gorgeous, my B. smithi just molted. Wait until you see her!!!!

absolutely!

Oooooh! Post pics soon

 

[Steve Calceatum]

absolutely!

Oooooh! Post pics soon

I will, don't worry. I have pics already, but have to do a few things first before photoshopping, and posting them. Going to make a feeding video tonight (hopefully), and maybe get a couple of pics of the more reclusive ones while I'm at it. Somehow, I have a feeling I will be posting a pic of my P. cambridgei in threat-pose pretty soon too.....

 

[Ariel]

can't wait!!!

I did some feeding videos unfortunately I couldn't merge them so they're all up on youtube seperate, and the video quality sucks, I shouldn't have bothered, but the second P. cambridgei vid the little thing for the first bit is just threatening the cricket, and threatening. Can't wait to see your video, I love watching feeding videos.

B. smithi Postmolt, Avic avic, and RARE S. cal Appearance!!!!!!

Here ya go, as promised!!!! My female B. smithi postmolt pic:

I also felt the need to give my PinkToe some love too.

Finally, while I was filming last night's feeding video, I caught my S. cal poking her head out for a brief second to better plan my death. I hardly ever see this one, so I got the best pic I could.....which sent her scrambling back into her burrow. Sorry about the quality, but just the rarity of the moment makes up for that in spades!!!! God, she's beautiful!!!!!!!

Hope you enjoyed!!!!

 

[Ariel]

Great photos!!! that S. cal is adorable!

 

[Steve Calceatum]

Glad you think so, LOL!!!!! That S. cal will be the T that seriously envenomates me. She is plotting it......I see her legs sticking out of her burrow, watching me. Then she goes and puts her dead crickets and molts in a place I won't disturb her, lets me retrieve them, and refill her waterdish; all the while hiding in her comfy little den. Until I put her back on her shelf.....then the legs come out and she further plots my death.

Yeah...I actually would recommend this species!!!! The S. cal is quite amusing when you get right down to it. As long as you don't get stupid, jab your feeding tongs into her hide, and piss her off, you have it easy for a while.

Just A Couple of Pics

What the title says....got 3 new pics. P. irminia, A. versicolor, and another one of my S. cal, whom I've seen out almost every night for the last week and a half.
