So as of today...(well more like as im typing this because who knows what will happen later today when I go to http://reptileoutlet.webs.com/ to pick up my crickets) I now have 19 Ts!!!! So the new additions are... *Habanera- Brachypelma boehmei or Mexican Fire-leg *Agent Orange- Pterinochilus...

That is really strange, I have been told that once an adult male they normally will not molt again, and normally only live a few more years. I was sad to hear this myself because I have 2 adult male rose hairs...why did they say not to touch the webbing?

So I have gotten a few more Ts in the past few weeks... I got a adult female Avicularia avicularia Pinktoe tarantula, who decided she was going to shoot poop at my fiance the first time he held her lol. And because I bought the pinktoe I got a free Pterinochilus murinus Orange baboon...

What did you end up getting?

Tell me about it, we just ordered a 1000 large, they never shut up and one bit the crap out of me while hand feeding one of my chams! I honestly didnt think they could bite very hard but the really big adult ones that I have mistaken for roaches so many times can hurt more than you would think.

I am going to have to say yes and no, being new to keeping Ts myself and having a few pinktoes and a few others, as far as being docile yes pinktoes are generally not aggressive but my pinktoes are much faster and flighty than the rest. Mine are all slings so they are harder to control. So if...

Yes the labeling is a must have since the 2 of the pinktoes look the same right now and also because we have 2 golden knees, The enclosures I got from http://www.jamiestarantulas.com/slingandjuvieenclosures.htm they work great and I like that they all match

This is all but Sprocket, his enclosure didn't fit on the tv tray

So I talked my dad into letting me use his camera for a while and I got a few pics

So I did something interesting today, My fiance and I went to a reptile club meeting where they did a live demo of how to safely catch and relocate rattle snakes. They had the "hots" there on site and you got to move one from the enclosure to the safety bucket if you wanted to, Thankfully it...

Most of which are LAME!

If you do we would be neighbors kinda

As I posted before my GBB has never refused a cricket, even if he/she just ate the day before. I figured if the crickets are being eaten right away and not just jumping around the enclosure for even a few minutes then it should be fine... right?

Sorry for the poor quality pic but I just thought I would share it anyway. This is Wildfire eating for the 3rd time this week, he/she has never refused a meal since we got her!
