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...
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.

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...
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!
