My Tarantulas... (PS: not for arachnaphobics)

@BugMan some nice specimens there , mate of mine has around 50 in his spare room..

 

Wow dude. some flippen cool Spiders! i have never had a prob with them, i really want one, but my better half will DIE is i get one!

 

No unluckily they don't actually eat birds but they will if they get half a chance...

@Vez i know what you mean i had to convince my parents to get the first one... (TIP: show the better half how cute and non scary the small ones are and get one...)

 

no dude! afrikaans: liefie hiers n gogga in die bad.......liefie hiers n mot..... the list is endless, the dont like them goggas!

 

@Vez That is not cool... But i convinced my 1 friend who was a arachnophobic that spiders aren't that bad and now she has 2 tarantulas of her own... (And that only took a year and a half...) But i know what you are talking about... The rest of the family won't even come and visit me because they are to scared...

Wat ek herhaaldelik hoor: IS JY VAN JOU KOP AF!!!
My antwoord: Ja... Ja ek is...

 

Awesome looking spiders! I really want a snake but my parents say I can't, maybe they will allow and arachnid.
What are you keeping them in?
I watched a program on Discovery a while ago and a vet was trying to help a young lady handle her spider. He used the term ''Old world'' and ''new world'' tarantulas. Old world being able to dust of some hairs that irritate the skin, is this true?

 

theres about 3 trinidad (h. incei) sacs happening they should be available pretty soon yay! @BugMan

il give you a shout soon as i notice some and vice versa cos i also need a communal!

heres another one of the dwarf species you may like c. elegance! the little heart on her bum is normally red what a lovely Valentine present for that special someone

yup firefly they are worse then the bite!!!! some kick hairs easier then others. from my point of view my spiders stay in their boxes! :noworry: the hairs are like a little barb, remember the old school itchy powder??? that was made from tarantula hair!

 

Oh O.K. Thanks for the info.

 

@Firefly: it is shocking to hear what animal mechanics(no offence) say... That is completely wrong it is the new world tarantulas that have urticating hairs, while the old world ones have got really nasty venom that would put you in bed for a about a week... Futher more the old world tarantulas includes all the ornamentals and baboon easier way to explain that is anything from Asia, Africa, Australia or Europe is old world and everything from both North and South America is New World...

@luquail PLEASE let me know about those H. incei... I am really looking for them and for the Accanthoscurria juruenicola and the A. brocklehursti...

I will post some photos of Skeleton tomorrow... She is looking GOOD!!!

 

@BugMan - Thanks for correcting me, it was my mistake, not the T.V. ( I think I swapped them).
Animal mechanics is my dream job:sad2:.

 

@Firefly i just joke when i say Animal Mechanics, i have quite a few friends that are vets... But One day i will indeed need vets for all my lizzards... And according to me: Any job that makes you happy to the deepest part of your hart is a BRILLIANT JOB!!! ;-) That is why i NEVER listen to what people say about me and my passion for insects... :bigsmile:

 

Nice T's, what else do you have?

 

I also have quite a lot of spiders.

 

Igor is a beautiful spider!!! OMW!

 

Very nice !

I have a P Klugi, a Sun Tiger and a Brazilian Black female of about 5 years old
