Message: <blockquote data-quote="CrystalRose" data-source="post: 24745" data-attributes="member: 2754">Hello everyone! Just thought I would introduce myself and my small collection of T's. I got my first T on March 7th and well..now I have 7 lol. I am a former arachnophobe that has recently gotten over my fear and am now completely fascinated and in love with them. So enough about me and on to the T's!This is Peanut. The one that started it all. She was advertised on a local facebook group for 10 dollars for her and her enclosure. I had wanted to start with a different species but,well she was too cute to pass up <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_6534_zps83a07222.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_6534_zps83a07222.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_6547_zpsd285c2aa.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_6547_zpsd285c2aa.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Next came Ruby my female B. vagans. As you can see she did NOT enjoy the shipping experience. She kicked herself quite a bald spot on the way here. This was taken the day she arrived <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_6574_zps3aa16747.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_6574_zps3aa16747.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>I wanted to take some new pictures of her but last night discovered she's in premolt. So I'm leaving her alone to do what she needs to do. I promise I will get some new pictures once she is finished though!<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_6605_zpsa346cd04.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_6605_zpsa346cd04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Then came Amelia. My female A. paysoni. She's about as mellow as can be. She came out of her shipping container and just wanted to walk around and check things out.<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_65881_zpsb9f8a489.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_65881_zpsb9f8a489.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_65941_zps5a26bd63.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_65941_zps5a26bd63.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>I got my G. pulchripes sling the same day.<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_65981_zps74dee1ee.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_65981_zps74dee1ee.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>This little A. chalcodes sling was included from the seller as a freebie <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_66021_zpsc1b991c2.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_66021_zpsc1b991c2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Then this past Friday I picked up this cute little B. albopilosum from the same facebook group I found Peanut on. I haven't come up with a name for it yet.<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_6609_zpsbe4bde95.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_6609_zpsbe4bde95.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/IMG_6610_zpsb26de350.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/IMG_6610_zpsb26de350.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Last but not least is Charlotte. My female B. emilia. I also got her on Friday. I only have a cell phone picture of her because she's been pretty camera shy since I got her home. I'm hoping I can get some better pictures of her once she's settled in.<a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/CrystalRose76/media/Tarantulas/20140301_204151_zps8443ab34.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/CrystalRose76/Tarantulas/20140301_204151_zps8443ab34.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Thanks for taking the time to look. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better!</blockquote>
