Fuzzball's picture thread

[Fuzzball79]

My first, G. Rosea, unsexed:
When we first got her

Didn't like her tank being moved

Refusing to eat her cricket

Next, my B. Boehmei sling, who is currently teaching me patience, lol (over a month and 1 molt a week ago inside its hole, hence why there aren't many photos). Its 1st instar crickets are starting to outgrow it...

TBC...

 

[Fuzzball79]

My A. Geniculata.
Unpacking (was easy, she just casually strolled into her tank)

First exploring trip

so cute

Attacking water

A bit too adventurous sometimes

Had enough of pictures being taken and jumped towards the camera, lol

 

[Fuzzball79]

I just realised I never added pics of my other spids.
My GBB sling. I don't know why I bothered giving it a hide as it seems to prefer the arboreal life sitting out on its web hammock all the time, lol. It's put on a bit of weight, too.
Munching on its cricket hanging upside down as you do

getting a bit bottom heavy

My long legged T. Gigas. It has since been rehoused as I noticed that when it stretches out its legs it didn't have much space to move and climb around. It's in a tilted sweetie jar now and although I was concerned about it finding prey due to the size it soon proved me wrong by showing me what a ferocious hunter and stalker it is.

My A. Vericolor juvi. I still can't get over the metallic blue. It's getting a lot braver now and doesn't run down its tube as soon as it feels movement, but likes to sit at the top. It's a good eater so far and a joy to watch.

Some of the "Oldies".
B. Boehmei showing off its big bottom. It's hiding and fasting just now and I'm waiting for it to molt.

The fuzzball. She's fasting too (nothing new for a G. Rosea, lol), but is quite active at the moment. Always out and about for a wander. I love her to bits.

A. Geniculata. I think she's in premolt, as she's not eating and quite inactive. She'd been looking a bit "scruffy" for a while, but her colours have darkened again. Today she's been out and about sucking the water droplets off the walls of her faunarium.

very good looking collection

 

[Christell Erasmus]

Awesome collection and some stunning photos!

 

[Fuzzball79]

The Eight-Legged-Freaks have got their own shelf now (and there's room for more on it. Shht! Don't tell the husband, lol)

The Genic's faunarium

The Fuzzball's (Rosea). She was starting to get hungry again, yay (fasted for a good 2 months)

The "babies". From left to right: B. Boehmei (hiding in her bottle cap home), A. Versicolor, GBB and T. Gigas

My Rosea waving. "It's dinner time, Mum!"

 

[Fuzzball79]

Nom nom nom

My beautiful Rosea having a Red Runner.

Very nice photos added !

 

[Fuzzball79]

To the soundtrack of "Tarantula!"

Not a spider, but one of the Turkistan Roaches molted last night

Another close up attempt.

Just some hairy legs (P. metallica sling)

GBB sling eating (again)

B. Boehmei sling. I put a small cricket in with it last night. It was very interested and kept trying to pounce on it, but kept missing. The cricket ended up escaping into the hide (which the spider hasn't used since rehouse) and the sling kept running around the enclosure looking for the cricket on the walls. It nearly looked like it was scratching the walls. I don't think I got the pick of the litter intelligence wise, lol:

It must have given up, because the cricket is still alive and will be removed later on. Spiderling is fat enough and won't starve for missing this meal.

Premolt A. versi venturing out to his water bowl. I only took one pic as not to disturb him

My gorgeous Rosea (RCF) looking for her dinner (in the wrong place). I always have to resist the urge to stroke her belly, it looks so velvety, lol.

 

[Prudance]

You have some amazing photos to show off your lovely collection.

 

[Fuzzball79]

A. geniculata doing a Pokie impression (post molt stretches)

My Rosea saying "hello". She always comes up to the front and puts her 2 legs on the wall. She's not bothered at all if you walk up and look at her.

Close up of her "face". I love that tuft of "hair" sticking up between the eyes.

Little fiery legs. Waiting for a moult from this one...

Quick pic of the P. met sling (cos they don't like light)

T. gigas showing off its new legs

 

[Enn49]

What a great bunch.

 

[Fuzzball79]

What a great bunch.

Thanks, they are. I love how they all have different quirks and "character".

Isn't it funny how you can sometimes get ideas in your sleep? I was pondering on providing a water source for my premolt LP sling, who's tiny. I couldn't find a bottle cap small enough or safe to use. Then for some reasons I dreamed of birthday cakes (it's my eldest son's 13th soon, lol) and it hit me that the little candle holders are just the right size:

The pipsqueak (and a dog hair for some reason, they're everywhere at the moment)

That's a great idea, well done. Don't worry I end up with cat hairs in mine they drop of my clothes.

My A. versi (hopefully female) in her new home:
Just hanging out

First meal in new tank

How do I open this?

One belly shot, since no-one's replied to my sexing thread :

@Fuzzball79 .
I am hopeless at sexing any of my T's
I think my P.Parvulus is a female.
Try googling other female pics of your T . Weather nice in Scotland ?
