Coco
, the biggest of my B. albopilosum, had outgrown its old container so I gave it a new home today. The move went very smoothly, just a gentle nudge and Coco walked from the old to the new which is a 4''x4''.


For the first 10 days Data, P. sp. baeri, has been happy to sit on the surface or on the leaves but yesterday it started a burrow or so I thought. Overnight it has completely buried both cork bark and waterbowl and most of the plant too..


Little Cayenne, my T. gigas, made sure of its cricket tonight, almost hugging it at one point.

Thanks. I buy nearly all my containers from http://bugzarre.co.uk/. They do the 3'' cubes and arboreal containers too. I love the fact that they are so clear. I need to buy a few more as I think I may have problems with the P.sp.baeri, it runs straight at the point where I'm trying to lift the lid so I think a bigger one would give me more room to manoeuvre if it keeps on burying everything.

Thanks for the link I'll go have a look as I could be doing with some new enclosures especially arboreal ones as I'm planning on adding a few avic and pokie slings to my collection in the next couple months...

Another moult, this time Zera, my elusive OBT who decided to show herself for once.


This is all I get of her moults, small bundles of bits. I'm sure she'll chuck more out unless she decorates inside her hide with it.

Yet another moult, this time my smallest b. albopilosum, Tinto. That's 5 in 4 days.

8 months ago I received Coco, B. albopilosum as a free gift with some other Ts I'd ordered. Not a species I would have chosen but I soon fell in love with this tiny busybody, always doing something. It built a burrow down the side of the container right to the bottom so I could always see its activities, fascinating to watch. Such an intriguing little T that I bought 2 more - it just goes to show that bright colours or fancy patterns aren't everything when choosing a T.

Coco has now grown from the little spiderling that arrived that day into a lovely T that is spending most of its time in full view and will I'm sure continue to be a special favourite.

Nacre
, my little A. sp Aurora seems to be settling in well, it's got a good web in there


And Midnight, the little H. sp Midnight Blue has begun a burrow so all I see now is its butt.

I decided it was time to get my Davus fasciatus formerly Cyclosternum fasciatum, Beck, into the little cube vacated by my albo as it was the only one of my slings still in a deli. I tipped the substrate into a cricket tub to find it only too find it had recently moulted. I'd not seen Beck for 4 months so I was impressed at the size of it now. It was a 1st instar when it came so now it is a 4th Instar. It's the only one of my lot that I know what instar it is.




Next to rehouse was Falcon, my P. irminia into an arboreal container. Now that was fun!!! It is one fast T and I ended up chasing it around a 1' cube ExoTerra viv.

And another moult. This time Yoda, one of the H. incei.


Yoda's 5th moult with me since it came in Aug last year. Quite a difference in size compared to the tiny one on the right which was Yoda's 2nd moult back in October. Sadly I don't have the 1st moult as Yoda had moulted in transit to me and it got destroyed
