The T's of x Mr Awesome x

Only 15??? That's quite the downer, now isn't it?
Still, a GBB and a P. metallica would be quite the addition to your fine coillection!!!

It's not bad at all! Fifteen is a great number. Keeps me busy and I have all the tarantulas that I really like! Here's what I'm sitting on right now:

1.0.0 Acanthoscurria geniculata
0.0.1 Avicularia diversipes
0.1.0 Avicularia metallica
0.0.1 Avicularia versicolor
0.1.0 Ceratogyrus marshalli
0.1.0 Brachypelma albiceps
0.1.0 Brachypelma boehmei
0.0.1 Brachypelma vagans
0.1.0 Haplopelma lividum
0.1.0 Heteroscodra maculata
0.0.1 Poecilotheria formosa
1.0.0 Poecilotheria miranda
0.1.0 Poecilotheria striata
0.0.1 Pterinochilus murinus
0.0.1 Xenesthis immanis

I'm looking to ditch all my males eventually and replace with females. If anyone is interested in trading or buying outright please make me an offer. I'd really like to get rid of my bros.

And now for something different...

My roommate's birthday was a few weeks ago. For a couple months now as I've watched tarantula video after tarantula video he has watched an equal number of frog videos without ever having owned a frog. So. I remedied this situation by organizing a friend wide effort to pool our finances and get my good friend a frog of his very own. He ended up getting a very nice tall exo terra tank with all the fixins and a very very cute 'White's' or 'Dumpy' tree frog. Here's some pics I took with the same camera I do everything with. Hope you guys enjoy!!!

I might also add that my birthday is day after tomorrow and I happened to notice a few of the t's on my wish list missing off of Ken the Bug Guy's list! They are the C. marshalli and a 6" P. striata female. I'm so excited and can't wait till they get here!!!

Excellent pictures of the froggy. Looks so cute. I am considering Poison Dart frogs.

Dude Mack is the bomb. Hopefully Luna never gets ahold of him that would be an ugly sight. Idk what Nate would do if that happened.

Here's a quick one of my freshly molted A. geniculata. I checked the molt and sexed it as male. Sucks to be me because I paid for what was supposed to be a female.

And here's what I've really been wanting to get to...

Birthday T's!!!
My friends all chipped in and ordered me two incredibly awesome t's. First is the Ceratogyrus marshalli. Boy was she pissed! I loved it! Haha. She was very quick to come out of her pill jar and fast. She was stridulating loudly. That was exciting! She quickly made herself at home though and was webbing in no time. Here's some pics:

The next t has a funny story. We ordered 6" Poecilotheria striata last week and Ken the Bug Guy has been on vacation. When it came time to ship the warehouse notified Ken that the striata was not in the inventory. It had either been sold, traded, died, who knows. It was no where to be found. Ken called me on my cell and sent an email yesterday, the Monday prior to Thanksgiving, while on vacation out of state to try and straighten out the order. He offered to refund the money and I explained that it was a birthday gift to me and was pretty hard set on getting a couple of t's. Well, long story short after a few phone calls Ken called to tell me that he had a 6" formosa to replace the striata with if I were interested. I was indeed!!! I personally like the formosa way more!!! So it was here the very next day (today) as promised. She is a knock out. Beautiful cream and black with orange hairs. Very vivid!!! Here are the pics I was able to get today before she very quickly settled in:

I'm super happy over the order and would like to voice my thanks to Ken publicly for his help and personal effort to satisfy his customer. Thanks man!!!

Nothing like bday gifts.Your friends picked very well too.

 

[x Mr Awesome x]

I picked the t's they paid the bill. Couldn't ask for a sweeter arrangement!

 

[Teal]

VERY nice! C. marshalli is gettin' high up on my list.. what a gorgeous girl you got!

 

[x Mr Awesome x]

I really think this is a particularly awesome specimen of marshalli. The horn is really pronounced! It's loud lookin'!!! RAWRRrR! I'm a huge fan of baboons in general and have all the ones that I love except M. balfouri. That may be a while! Really though. Major threat displays. She rolled all the way over to her back and stridulated the whole time and flexed the fangs. It was all out gang signs. I came back into the room ten minutes later and she still hadn't moved. So yeah. I'm in love. The formosa is so elegant and classy. I'm gonna say it right now. My favorite poke! Thanks for the compliments and be sure tho check the videos of me unpacking these from my youtube link in my signature. Later!

OGFR!! Ben my birthdays in February ha

Alright man. There's supposedly this new species that is literally 10x's the size of a blondi from the Bermuda Triangle. It's called the Silverback and it's apparently named for it's similar size to the famous gorilla of the same name. It kicks over school buses and eats the children inside with a straw that it carries in it's pocket. It chokes out trains and puts helicopters in arm bars. This thing is sooo tough. They don't even size slings in inches they weigh them in pounds. I'm gonna get you a two pounder. The breeders had to train a bear to wrestle it into a deli cup. They're running out of bears. So intense!!:razz:

Congrats on the new Ts! that marshalli is awesome!
