A little Cheatopelma olivaceum arrived at 4.30am this morning from spidershop.pl. A lively little T that gave me quite a run around during rehousing, running up one arm and when I thought it had gone up my sleeve appeared on my other hand. As this one originates from the Middle East I'm going to call it Nile

Great Pic-I'm surprised it stayed still long enough to get a pic!:D
fast little devils-it will be nice to see the progress of Nile as it grows and I can compare it with my one which I have called Hapi which is also Egyptian so I'm following your lead on naming this one:)

Btw, I'm a bit rusty Enn, isnt that the Israeli tarantula? I'll google it but I seem to remember reading about a T in Israel that soldiers reported as having a painfull bite. And wears a yarmulke. Like Americas most important Jew, Ben Shapiro..I love you Ben, nohomo.

That's right, hence it's common name of Middle East Gold

Another 2 arrivals today from Phil.

Firstly a very big thank you to @Phil for the mystery T to been known as Blue for now. When Phil got this one it was simple marked BF and thought to be Blue Femur but as there are a few with that name it's going to be fun trying to identify it. It seems very calm though.

A huge thank you to @ilovebrachys for Lempa, an adorable Brachypelma albopilosum (Honduran). This is one stubborn little T, it did not want to leave the vial no matter how many times I nudged it.

1 and a half hours after rehousing Lempa is already digging down :)
