I just added these 5 beauts to my gaggle. In the one with 0 ts seen, it houses 3 Kochiana brunnipes. Right now at 1/8" big they are being housed communally which back in 2007 I saw in a post someone do who bred these little dwarves. I might continue the communal trial, I might not when they are bigger but for now we shall see.

That is a burrow of the 3 k. brunnipes

This is my C. olivaceum (now happily sitting on a cricket)

Venom the Phormictopus sp South Hispaniola loves her pipe cleaner. That candle is never lit near her container..I just placed it there temporarily.
photo 2 (5).JPG
Skell, the Bumba cabocla appears to be working on blocking the entrance to his hide. Hopefully his(?) big booty will shrink in the near future.
photo 3 (3).JPG
Ninhursag, the Brachypelma vagans has been fasting for awhile but shows no sign of getting ready to shrink her big booty.(She has one tunnel and a hide that I never see her use).
photo 1 (3).JPG
Laveau, the Tapinauchenius sp Carribean Diamond, clearly was well fed before her trek over her. Look at her shiny big butt and little feathery legs!

This is Laveau's underside. Look at it's little chilcerae, the darkest part of its body. The tappis babie colors seem to have some purplish tinge to me but its chilcerae are definitely just as dark as my 2.5" sp Colombia.

Falcon was out this morning, not sure for how long but I saw him 15 minutes after I was already looking for at least one of the 3. Falcon is the greyest, and his patch the shiniest.
photo 4.JPG

Skell was out this morning as well. Not sure what his plans are..but he needs a molt so bad. Clearly.
photo 5.JPG

I took this to try and sex him, and he's looking male to me. It's not straight on or the best, but he spooks easily and I was trying not to do that so I could still see his underside.

And this is the set up for my incoming roach nymphs (Hemiblabera tenebricosa-Horseshoe Crab/Broadkey) for feeders due the variance in size and molt status and how crickets are sold in my town, roaches and mealworms seem to be the more financially stable option.

So Balthazzar, debating renaming him Zoom but thats a DC name not Marvel, the Chaetopelma olivaceum has started webbing up his "shrub/tree" thing:

It's kinda hard to see but its in the top little valley/divet area.

Meet Minwi, the Tapinauchenius violaceus.

Another shot of Balthazzar. He doesn't like the hide I switched out (he was using the mealworm dish...). I will rectify and give him something similar to the dish soon. He is a big sassy brat.

Somone is making my life hard but really digging and webbing
20160603_221425_resized.jpg
Lots of it, even in his own tunnel. Is this a do not disturb sign beginning?

Dorado, the Tapinauchenius sp Carribbean Diamond taken this morning while he was out. He tends to burrow at night and blends so darn well into his sub which makes me sad cause he's so stunning:
