Thanks for the compliments. :) Don't know if they actually make any that small. LOL And considering that making the skeleton was a bit of a challenge, don't know that I'll be up to the challenge of making decent looking hobbits. ;) The books were excellant, but I do have to say they did a...

Lovely critter ya have there!

Well a friend on a plant forum I frequent asked me if he could name my Chromatopelma "Shelob". So said sure though it may turn out that "Shelob" is a "Helob". And while I know that "Lord of the Rings" fans may be disappointed in that I made no effort to mimic the movie setting, well here it...

Alas, Peter, even if Tannenbaum turns out to be female, a childless life is its destiny --- I would not have the space to keep all the babies! My orchids and other plants take up most of the available space.

Really comes down to how long of a 'commitment' is too long for you. Leopard geckos are cut and easy but can live up to 15-20yrs if properly cared for. There are a number of gorgeous snakes, but again we're talking a pretty decent life span of over a decade in many cases. Anoles are...

Thanks, Ismart. UniM, Tannenbaum is an Avicularia versicolor.

After looking like a molt was imminent for what seemed like "forever", Tannenbaum molted. Ecdysis occurred without a hitch this time. (Last time, Tannenbaum had a bad molt and I was concerned as whether it would survive to molt again ... and do so successfully if it did.) It was also time to...

Everything tastes better when fried, doesn't it? heh

Clever idea!

Love pdfs! Keep toying with trying them, but they are rather expensive for what I can afford. Bit higher maintenance too. For any who might beinterested but unaware, pdfs raised in captivity are harmless. In the wild they deriive their toxins from some particular prey or combination of prey...

How cool! I have never seen a pink one before! That is really sweet! Be awesome to have some in a classroom to help get kids over the "bugs are ugly" attitude.

That's frellin hilarious!

I'd be more worried that your temperature reached 28F. LOL!

You know you're old when .....

Love the "Kung-fu" stance!

Beautiful!

Out of curiosity ... what are you feeding them too?

Simply MAGNIFICENT !

How long have you had it? How large is it? Its possible it is getting ready to molt. Also possible that it is reacting to the change in environment. I suspect the reason it was out an about before was not because it wanted to bask in the sun but possibly because it was cooler out of the hide...
