Steve Calceatum's (formerly known as Xsyorra) Picture Thread

Thanks, Tommy!!!! IMHO, this species is severely underrated.

Kitties!!!!!!!!!

Well, I figure if everyone else is posting up their "other" pets in their personal threads, it's about time I showed off my two kitties.

This is Spike. I've had him since he was six weeks old. He was a runt in his litter, and was small enough to fall asleep in the palm of my hand. My ex got him for her kids, but he bonded to me from second one and has been by my side ever since. He's now about four and a half years old.

This is how we play:

And this is how I give up!!!!!

And this is the victory stare:

This is my Willow kitty. She was adopted at a local no-kill shelter, and I believe to have been mistrated. She will be 3 years old in February. The same ex who got Spike, adopted Willow. After we broke up, I took my cat and left her with hers. Six months later, I get a call from her telling me that I need to take Willow.......for unspecified reasons. Actually, I later on discovered that it was a whole bunch of excuses to cover up the fact that she could not handle a formerly mistreated cat.

Since she has been in my care, it has been a long road. She has some quirkyness to her, and she can be quite needy......but she's my Willow-girl.

Awwww......you're not afraid of a little bad luck are you???

That's funny, because Isis what I originally wanted to name her.

Aww cute kittys..

Awwww......you're not afraid of a little bad luck are you???

If I ever have another cat, it'll be black...

until Clairece (the bull terrier) eats it

I like having ONE cat around.. but no more than that in the house lol

I do sorta wanna pet the fluffy one though

 

[Steve Calceatum]

Thanks Tommy!!!!! I sure do love them alot.

To be honest Jairi, I didn't plan on having two cats.......but I didn't plan on an entomology exhibit going on in my bedroom either. I'm sure Spike would appreciate the extra attention, too.....as if he doesn't already get enough, LOL!!!!!

As always, Thanks for Viewing!!!!!

 

[Mvskokee]

awesome collection!

 

[Ariel]

Nice shots!!!! eeehh roches creep me out. I want to get over them because they seem like a much better feeder than nasty crickets. But I can't even get any to do so.

 

[Redneck]

Awesome shot Steve!! That GBB sling is gorgeous!!

 

[Teal]

Ooh those roaches ARE cute! I want some

Thanks!!! Once you realize they are a cleaner, easier feeder than crix, you'll never turn back!!!! I got my dubias from Ian Haggerty (The Roach Ranch), and my lobsters from Aaron Pauling. Check them out.....well worth it!!!

Awesome shot Steve!! That GBB sling is gorgeous!!

Thanks Tommy!!! Those little guys are the pride and joy of my collection, for sure!!! Too bad they grow out of their colors, because I really like the coloration as slings.

Ooh those roaches ARE cute! I want some

Aren't they??? Got them because my Avics won't eat the dubias. I should be able to hook you up with a few adult breeding pairs, depending on how my colony looks here in a month or so. They are kind of a PITA, but they breed well, and I do not have a T that would refuse to eat a lobstertail.

oh, I'm sure they are, and they fascinate me, I would love to get over this uncomfortable-ness I have with them, my parents however are no so willing to let me get roaches. and unfortunately the state I'm moving to in six months, is the state that doesn't allow roaches to be shipped in. Stupid florida. so I'll be stuck with gross crickets.

 

[Teal]

Ariel, I love roaches.. but I was never able to actually touch them until just a few weeks ago lol now I am slowly being able to handle them... but, it's still pretty weird sometimes haha

Oooh Florida... need a roommate?

I know its going to be so weird the first time I have to handle one. lol.

Haha, maybe!

the first time I handled a dubia, it was because I didn't want it loose in a car (which happened anyways lol) and the first time I handled a lat was because I didn't want it loose in my room (which also happened anyways)... so, I recommend taking your time if you have the choice lol

My aunt lives in Florida... She wants me to visit, so I plan on headin' out there as soon as I can to see what it's like.

Do you know if either species is pretty invasive or not?

My grandma lives down there. I used to have a ton of family there, hell I was BORN there, but everyone relocated to the crappy midwest. My family was the first to move, so even thoguh I only lived there a few years we used to go down every year. My grandma has a condo down there she's not using though, and it happens to be in the same city as the collage I'm looking at. So she offered to let me come down and live in the condo. It's a pretty sweet deal.
