User Swamps' Tarantula Models

[Swamps]

I've slowly been collecting photos of my T's overtime. I don't have current pics of some and some are blurry, but those are of my two teleporters, and I rather not fight them for a picture. All of my T's are still slings, I have not gotten any older ones yet.

Heads up before you continue: The camera flash made the sub look way wetter than it is. I promise I'm not flooding them. It's just damp. I've been under the impression I need to keep the sub just ever so slightly damp for 4/5 of these T's. They've all been doing well.

First up is Teleporter Number One, Quetzalcoatl, the T. violaceus sling. Bolts at everything. This photo was taken directly after they were unboxed. I put them in a temporary cup until I could finalize their current enclosure (I wanted more vent holes, I was worried there wasn't enough). I haven't gotten a photo of them since. They spend most of their time in a burrow.


Next up will be Clarke (or Vicks), my P. Victori. They have been glued to their water dish lately. Surprisingly the calmest out of the bunch.


The third is my B. Klaasi, Rosen (or Rosenburg). They hide at anything as well. I love their little butt spot.


Fourth is Teleporter Number 2, my P. Irminia named Helio. All of my photos of this guy suck because after what I've heard from others here and from my T. violaceous, I don't want to mess with this one too much.


The last one is my N. Chromantus named Chex. They're the smallest, yet speediest of the group. 1cm of pure rage and speed.


I have a C. Versicolor and an E. Murinus arriving this coming week, so I'll get some photos of those guys when they arrive.

Honorable Mention
The first T I purchased was a C. versicolor named Rutabaga. Unfortunately, I believe they went into a molt shortly after I received them and ended up stuck in their molt. I'm going to do my best to ensure my new versicolor, Indigo, can thrive.

It looks like you will have a chance to confirm soon.

Ephebopus murinus - Dae





Caribena versicolor - Indigo
There's a definite difference between the two versicolors. One is very docile and the other is constantly on 100% energy. Indigo is the wild one.




Caribena versicolor - Sage
The calm versi

Two Additions and T.Albo Update
I picked up two T's locally yesterday:

Tilicoalt Albopilosus - T-Bone
Suspect Male (owner is 90% certain but said to check next molt just in case), about a little under 3". Was really cranky when being placed in the travel cup, but really mellow when I put them in their current home.




Grammastola Poteri or Rosea - Lady / Lad
Bought from someone that had this little one in more of an arboreal setup and rather small prey items. They advertised as a Rose Hair. Still unsexed.




T. Ablopilosus - Corduroy
Corduroy molted last night and I was able to pull the molt away without disturbing her. I can confirm she is female, but I haven't measured what DLS this is. I might as well show a picture here while I'm at it:


P. Irminia
Finally got to see my Irminia tonight (they usually are in a burrow under the plant) and now that I can see more than the front legs, I realize I might be overfeeding a bit...
