My collection

[Thistles]

I certainly hope you're wrong I was told by the seller it was female and at the size I acquired it it's fairly easy to tell but we'll see.

I believe you're right. It's just the one picture you posted on Tuesday that looks male because of the ventilation hole. See what I mean?

I sometimes jokingly call this one Skeletor, although she's obviously a female

I accidentally dripped water all over her when I was filling the water dish. She didn't really seem to mind though.

Found a pretty large Cuban tree-frog outside of my house today. Still not the biggest one I've ever seen, but impressive none the less. Too bad they're somewhat invasive and eat our native ones.

What a shame, love those eyes, we only get the tiny green type here.
Hyla squirella. Wonder if you can keep those.

looks like large T food to me

As a kid we'd go catch frogs near the ponds they destroyed to make a golf course. So then we'd get in trouble by the grounds crew for sneaking on the course to catch frogs from the water hazards lol Good thing the owner was our history teacher Bad thing is we had to write a history paper on the frogs we were catching.

Well, their skin is pretty toxic, so that'd probably be a bad idea Plus they're pretty mean when they want to be as well.

Kymura, we also get a few species of green tree frogs here, they are actually native, but unfortunately for them, a significant portion of the Cuban Treefrogs diet consists of smaller frogs, so they're less common than they used to be. I still see them from time to time around here though.

Gods! that thing is HUGE, I'm more used to the little green guys with the sweet attitude and big brown eyes !
Gators i'm more familiar with, worked at a fish restaurant for a while and believe it or not we had a problem with them coming up river and hanging around there, we had F&G out there weekly during their season hauling them off, they make this deep growling- drumming sound, its pretty amazing. Like a huge purr with a bad cold

Yeah I don't understand how it could even climb or jump very far lol. Gators are neat, although I'd love to see one of our crocodiles in its native habit. It's so incredible how this is the only place in the world (to my knowledge) where alligators and crocodiles are found living side-by-side in the same habitat.

A few blasts from the past:

Avicularia metallica

Poecilotheria regalis

Avicularia diversipes about to eat her first meal

Psalmopoeus cambrdigei sling

Oleander Moth (this is what those big orange spikey caterpillars we have here become)

 

[Chubbs]

Nice close-up shot of the Avicularia sp. "amazonica"

 

[Kymura]

Oh damn, love that picture, haven't wanted one of these....till now....evil of you...purely evil....

My P.irminia is starting to get plump. She needs to hurry up and molt already. I have plans to breed her with one of my boys after this next molt.

 

[Kymura]

shes a pretty girl

 

[Chubbs]

shes a pretty girl

Thanks. Her colors are starting to dull a lot, so once she stops eating, then I'll know, and the waiting will begin.

A few snaps of the recently molted OBT enjoying her dinner

 

[Kymura]

I still think they are one of the best looking spiders, I'll eventually get one, a tiny sling.
