So, you want to keep a pet tarantula?

Master Skooter · 24 Dec 2003 at 09:46

Put my GFs name on it

She'd probably scream, drop it & pass out! *lol*

Did i read that you now have around 65 T's? :eek:

You are indeed barmy....i don't think that i could sleep knowing that all those T's were lurking about *lol* :rolleyes:

Hmmm let me do a count:

32 x A.sternalis
10 x P.murinus
6 x P.regalis
4 x H.sp."longipedum"
3 x C.marshalli
3 x C.bechuanicus
3 x Homoeomma sp."blau"
2 x C.fimbriatus
2 x E.cyanognathus
2 x H.schmidti
2 x C.huahini
1 x A.avicularia
1 x P.cambridgei
1 x H.sp."aureopilosum"
1 x C.schioedtei
1 x P.lugardi
1 x C.fasciatum
1 x P.rufilata
1 x P.fasciata
1 x P.ornata
1 x C.bicolor
1 x H.lividum
1 x C.sp."burmensis"
1 x G.rosea

So that's 82, with another 2 on the way soon, and another 3 large adults in the new year hopefully :eek:

No, a "friend" dumped them on me :mad:

He has a habit of doing this, normally with species I don't even like

Which means I have to try and get shot of the damn things.....

Such matters are best kept to email as technically I'd be selling outside Members Market!

Yes, they do look basically like that, the adult females get redder and redder with age, they are almost rust colour just before they moult out and become black/brown again.

Lopéz · 31 Dec 2003 at 16:17

Skooter, mail me your address!

Just thought I'd share some festive copulation with you ;-)

Haplopelma minax - not many true one's in the hobby!
Anyone else get Christmas T's?

Nexus · 31 Dec 2003 at 16:42

Did he make it through the affair alright?

I saw one of those Minax's in the flesh once, and they are pretty mean.

Your favourite! Mugabe moulted last week and has turned out to be a big and beautiful female. Managed to catch most of the moulting process on camera:

When she's started taking food again, there's a male on the way for her. So hopefully we'll have baby Usambara's next year!

If you still want a cast skin , just let me know.

I got me one of those on Christmas Eve

Feisty little sod it is too

Will pop it in the post tomorrow if I get the chance - be warned they are VERY VERY fragile and will crumble unless you handle them with extreme care.
