New b vagan

[Wayne harper]

I've just come back from my local garden centre that has a little pet shop in it with a new b vagan. The poor thing has not been kept brilliantly and the women selling it tried to charge me £6 for the ice cream tub enclosure it was in needless to say I declined her offer.

Its a Beautiful spider though and seems very calm at the minute I will try getting pictures later it's hiding in its hide at the minute

We were fine cheers the beck behind our house nearly came into the garden but that's all. I didn't know about Knaresborough I know a lad that lives in boroughbridge he got flooded out. Bad stuff at the minute. Just think though if it was as cold as it should be we would have snow drifts now not flooding.

Yep it should do now Phil. I wasn't even supposed to be looking I got persuaded to go by my 8 year old son and when I saw it in the tiny enclosure and water dripping from the roof I had to get it

And the flooding after the snow melted.

True but at least we could have fun sledging not just getting stuck in mud when walking my dogs

Little update on my new T. I got a good look at him tonight turns out it is defo a him and a mature one at that, looks like I'm looking for a nice female for him, don't tell the wife

Here's the pic of my b vagan.

 

[kormath]

how big is it? mine just molted a few weeks ago and is now about 1/2-3/4" and just starting to show the black coloring. Hopefully next molt or 2 the red rump will show or maybe it shows now but he won't turn to face the right direction in his tunnel against he enclosure wall so i can tell for sure.

 

[Wayne harper]

Kormath I have just tried to measure him he didn't want to sit still I think he is about 4 1/2 to 5 inch dls

 

[kormath]

ah so he's huge compared to mine I like watching go from the dull sling brown to their adult colors. My son's B. boehmei (mexican fire leg) was the dull brown until last molt, now his legs are a pinkish and the body is dark

 

[MassExodus]

He's purty. My juvie female is at about four inches now, great eater, but she's taken to hiding the last year or so. These spiders are gorgeous after a molt.

 

[Wayne harper]

Sorry massexodus I might be being thick here but what is purty?
It's a shame I will never see him moult but I feel good for getting him away from the aweful conditions he was in in the shop.

 

[MassExodus]

It's southern for pretty
