Rehoming done, first set of pics

So, after a very stressful day which started at 10am when I attempted to catch my first sling, till about 7pm when I caught my last (interrupted in between by a visit to my Nan's and Pets at Home), all my little T's have been re-tubbed.

Unfortunately, due to the majority of them taking up precarious positions either on the lid or right at the top of the pots, and the terrible weather we are having at the moment affecting light quality, I only managed to picture a handful of spiders.

As with my previous photos, you can click on them to enlarge them!

Brachypelma emilia


Grammostola pulchra


Brachypelma albiceps


Cyclosternum fasciatum


Grammostola rosea


Nhandu chromatus


B.emilia, C.fasciatum and N.chromatus are literally all freshly moulted and haven't been fed since, hence their somewhat underweight appearance!

Keep a look out in the following days as I will try my best to photo the rest.

I'm back.... again...

Hey everyone.

It has been a very long time since I posted any sort of update.

Basically, not long after my last post I got a job which required me to get up very early in the morning and subsequently go to bed quite early. Any free time I had was spent keeping my T’s and other pets going and there really wasn’t any time for updates.

But unfortunately over the past few weeks I was made redundant and I have to decided to start work again on this blog. Hopefully when I get another job it won’t be so time consuming.

Anyway, since my last update I added two new additions to my collection, a Haplopelma lividum (Cobalt Blue) and a Brachypelma albopilosum (Curly Hair). I was quite content with my collection and decided to end my interest in acquiring any new ones.

However, a couple of weeks after I obtained my B.albopilosum I was asked if I would take a Poecilotheria regalis (Indian Ornamental) as the owner no longer wanted it. Not one to see unwanted animals kept, I said yes. I am now happy with my collection and will definitely not be adding to it, unless anything on my wishlist pops up (found to the right).

So far everything is eating well and growing nicely. In fact I have come to a stage now where I guess certain individuals are no longer spiderlings, they are in fact juveniles.

So, tomorrow I will be rehousing everybody (apart from H.lividum because it was rehoused recently) to upgrade to the next size pot / tank. So expect a picture-fest tomorrow at some stage!
