This picture is probably not clear enough unfortunately it is clear to me and is not what I was hoping for. On the bright side I have at least one gf for him when the time is right but :(

*hugs* He is happy with you and you have given him a great life so far. It's nature. We aren't meant to understand her seemingly unfair designs.

Yeh, I still have a few years with him. I've always said he's got this x factor thing. He is twice the size of the other 3 I have from the same egg as him. Just hope he fathers loads of mini Hercs when the time is right. Still feel gutted but its an excuse to spoil him more.....

And an excuse to buy some more. I doubt if I will find one like him again tho. Manic depression setting in.

Sometimes it just totally sucks. Just typical one of the sweetest, loveliest spiders i've ever met.

I bet he'll make super awesome babies with a lucky female! Maybe he'll pass on some of his personality for you :)

Thanks Bast, I can't even explain what I love about him so much. He is like my first red knee who was cool as penguin pee. I can imagine Herc wearing shades and cruising about on a motor bike. He would help old ladies cross the road but be miles too lazy to get a job. Just hope he is not too lazy to make some babies eventually.
