Fuzzball's picture thread

I rehoused 2 tonight, so here's some pics:
G Actaeon (easy rehouse, did jump the brush, but soon realized it wasn't food)

2nd rehouse: GBB (didn't even flick at me for a change lol, just gently had to nudge it into its new home)

The Orange beastie (T. Gigas) being cheeky. Jumped at the water when I refilled her dish and then launched at the water droplets on the door:

G. Actaeon. He's been really busy recently: Digging a trench in one corner, burying his water dish then digging it out again, trying to push and carry the dish around and in between eating 2 wax worms:

The Pipsqueak (LP) is also acting weird. His new hobby seems to be landscaping and he's persistently been trying to move his fake leaves around. To his frustration they tend to ping back to where he started lol.

Baby Amazonica getting chubby again after molting

Getting nice colours

I think my T. gigas was thirsty. I filled her water bowl and she dived in head first before it was even full

I love those pics of your T. gigas

Thanks. Mind, I was complaining that she had become really reclusive? Must have been just a phase, because she seems to wander around her tank at least once or twice a day (and probably more during the night).
I keep calling her a she, but haven't been able to sex her molt properly (too shredded when she releases it lol), but ventrally she's got a small crescent which I think should mean she's female. That said she grew incredibly fast from small sling to subadult in just over a year.

@Fuzzball79 Yes, mine has been quite reclusive over the last couple of months but it's out and about again now. I've had mine a year at the end of this month and it's grown from 0.5" to 3" but I'm still not sure of sex.

My little G. Actaeon grooming itself

It's a funny one, this one. It's dug out a whole corner for no reason other than digging. It also doesn't seem to like its water dish being full and every time I clean it out and put water in it, the sling keeps either burying the dish or shovels substrate into it.

Over-exposed shot of my GBB. It looks a bit like a Pumpkin Patch there:

A. sp "Amazonica"

Webs and poops a lot this one lol.

LP sling is beginning to look like a real LP now

T. Gigas actually sitting like an arboreal for a change. She usually hangs around the bottom

B. Boehmei juvenile female looking fat and ready to burst (not getting fed until she molts)

 

[Fuzzball79]

Post molt meal for my LP. She's got the table position perfect:

Had another photo of my T. gigas turned into a Facehugger. but the image sharing program is soooo slow tonight and I'm ready to boot my PC (out the window).

I think I've seen this before somewhere

Poor Ginger Beastie was being wound up by a cricket which dug under the substrate

Poor thing was that frustrated she kept moving her fangs up and down like a camel spider

Please, mum, soooo hungry!

The Pips stuffing its face as per usual

I'm sure I look like that most of the mornings... Meh!

Why do we bother decorating our GBBs' tanks when they just web over everything lol?

 

[Fuzzball79]

B. Boehmei. Waiting for a moult

LP pushing her leaves around as usual. Very industrious little thing

Beautiful T. Gigas girl drinking

Posing for the camera

TG vs Cricket

Never refuses a meal *touch wood* G. Actaeon

Another one of my B. Boehmei

My biggest girl, A. Geniculata

Another shot of my T. Gigas, she's such a stunner now and out and about a lot, too

LP sling must have thrown a mini tantrum (just after praising that it may be skittish, but generally well behaved lol)

Rehoused my G. Rosea into a (for me) nicer tank. Quite and easy rehouse, she never flicked or threatened and she seems to have settled in enough to take her first meal in at least 4 months, yay!

A. sp. Amazonica post moult. It grew quite a bit from its last moult (still the smallest of all 9 Ts though). Lazy sod still hasn't tidied out the old exo from its web tube, just keeps pushing it around.

 

[Enn49]

A great set of photos. Your T. gigas is stunning now.

Thanks, she is a beauty and has grown so quickly. Someone on FB offered to send me a male for her, but I politely declined, because I have no intention whatsoever to have hundreds of tiny slings to sort out lol. I wouldn't even know where to start...

Mine has grown quickly too, I'm going to rehouse it soon so I might get some decent pictures and hopefully sex it too but I feel just the same as you about breeding.

 

[Fuzzball79]

You give your G. Rosea a nice new tank with lots of substrate and what does she do? Digs out the whole corner and piles up on the other side:

 

[Prudance]

What's your G. actaeon like? I just ordered one cause so pretty!

Yay, another Actaeon owner (soon). I'm absolutely happy with mine. It never hides, isn't too skittish and not aggressive/defensive so far. Great eater, but doesn't grow as fast as, for example my LP and/or Avics, Tapi. It's quite active and has phases when it would be digging like a JCB (usually one corner and piles it up on top of the water dish) and it keeps chewing and pulling on its fake vine leaves (some are actually quite frayed now) for whatever reason.
Seems to be quite an underrated species, IMHO, more people seem to go for the Iheringi. I think they're gorgeous as slings with their dark red abdomen and blueish -black carapace and legs and they're beautiful adults, too (nice and big, just how I like them lol).
