yea, i used to not care for them much..but their brown has grown on me i guess heh.

my C. fasciatum molted recently. i wasn't able to take pics of it happening, but here is one of hopefully her afterwards..and a couple of her exuvium.







think that looks female? not the greatest pics..but it look like female to me kind of..i guess i wouldn't bet all my chips on that though.

really? i thought it was Davus fasciatum and was switched to Cyclosternum? i guess that all changes and i could be off.

I believed it was changed, but everyone still calls it Cyclosternum fasciatum

female B. albopilosum

of course right before i was going to bed i noticed her legs twitching. :wall: so i stayed up to watch and took a bunch of pictures. hated myself this morning, but it was worth it. heres a sequence of pics.





















didn't waste any time cleaning its fangs













a few random photos

B. emilia


P. pederseni


P. murinus and pal.

got to watch a molt tonight. :D

X. sp. "white"

















one leg appeared stuck only to slip out a couple minutes later.


tarsal claws on same leg got snagged on the exuvium. i gently removed it just to clear out the area around the spider.










leg spines






i'm kind of thinking its a male but i'm not sure. going to try and take some better pictures once its all dried up.

a couple of random pics i hadn't posted yet.

male B. vagans...took him outside the other day to take some pictures. he didn't care for the breeze, so he went down into his burrow.




unsexed corn snake watched the molt with me. ;)

been a while since i posted here...i haven't taken as many pictures as i was, but i've had a couple molts recently.


adult P. cambridgei spermathecae. haven't been able to get a picture of her yet though...she likes to hide.


unsexed A. versicolor. i think the next molt should really show some difference. i'm excited, but at the same time, i will miss that shiny blue.

adult P. irminia. she was very good during my picture taking, so i took quite a few.

thanks. i love her too! :D

did some feeding a little bit ago and took a few pictures.


female Grammostola aureostriata..she decided to take a stroll when i took the lid off her KK, so i figured it was a great time to let her crawl around on me for a little.





its much easier to pick them up like that than it is to get them to crawl back in their container. :rolleyes: took a number of tries.





unsexed Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens


female Brachypelma albopilosum

some random pics i took tonight that i didn't post in the feeding thread since none of these are actually eating.

unsexed C. fasciatum (or is it D. fasciatum now?)


premolt X. sp. "white" ..i think after this molt, some adult coloration is going to show up and hopefully i can finally take a decent stab at sexing it.



T. blondi female
