The T's of x Mr Awesome x

[x Mr Awesome x]

This hobby has been like a fresh of breath air for me. I'm a professional musician and aspiring entrepreneur with lots of interests. This one seems to be so counterpoint to the rest as it's completely non-competitive and I love it for that! I spend hours in my T room just feeling like a kid all over again! I don't have a great camera, just a Canon SD450, but first chance I get I will purchase one to get some incredible shots like some of the guys on here. For now though, please enjoy what I have to share! I will post my T's in the order of which they were purchased.

Awesome T's, man! The little P. murinus is FAT, haha. :'D Looks like mine (who I'm hoping is gonna molt soon).

Great pics, I especially dig the H. lividum. That blue is gorgeous.

[x Mr Awesome x]

Thanks guys. It is quite the chore to get good, not remarkable, results from my little dinky point and shoot. I really could do a lot with a nice camera, soft box, and macro lens. Dream big!!! Haha. Thanks again though. I hope everyone enjoys these pics! I'll post more as I take them.

Wow look at that booty on the B. albiceps. It was about to burst{D .
Beautiful pictures.

[x Mr Awesome x]

It was my powerfeeding experiment. I honestly fed until she refused. At one point she ate five adult crickets in a day, no exaggeration. Mind you, she was only 2 1/2". She's a little dumpster. I pretty much powerfeed until they acquire the characteristic look of the species and then I slow down.

You certainly do :D I went to film school (specialized in film cameras) and as a pre requisite had to be pretty well versed in still photography, and your pics are lovely! So are your T's, I love your Avics, Im hoping to pick up an A.versi soon, they are just too cute :)

OBT on the head is great, BTW!!!!!

How did it feel to have an OBT in your hair? LOL

Great shots! You have a really great compilation of species!

[x Mr Awesome x]

How did it feel to have an OBT in your hair?
I loved it. It was in a hurry when it ran up my arm so I just let him do his thing. Walk over my hands and just pulled him down very gently. They have tempers but just like my fiance, if you don't piss them off you're going to have a great time!

My girl loves both blings! One slightly more than the other though. ;)

[ZergFront]

Does the platycryptus have red on it's face? I couldn't get a good enough look, but it looks male.

[x Mr Awesome x]

There was a very slight color variance but not so much that it would indicate male to me. I let her go a few days ago.

[jturek123]

Wow your t's are beautiful mr amazing!! a little off topic but i happened to check out your youtube after reading about your occupation, and i must add that you are quite the musician. Glad to know we have such a diverse and talented group of people here!

[x Mr Awesome x]

^^^Thank you very much for the compliments and also for checking my vids!!! I had an amazing tarantula day today. I bought an Xenesthis immanis sling that is about 2" freshly molted. I believe this is the 'blue' species although someone jump in and correct me if I am wrong. I also managed to convince my LPS operator to trade my MM P. murinus for a 1" Poecilotheria sling!!! How awesome is that!? I have a C. marshalli and a 6" Poecilotheria striata coming in the next few days too! AWESOME!!!

Here's my new baby 'Stacii' the Xenesthis immanis 'blue':

Very pretty Ts :)

[x Mr Awesome x]

Thanks very much for the compliment. I'm limited to 15 total t's at this time and I'm trying very hard to fill every spot with a very desirable specimen. I still want a Chromatapelma cyaneopubescens and hopefully a Poecilotheria metallica. That would make me very satisfied!

Well all your Ts are wonderful, I'd say you're on the right track for filling every spot with a very desirable specimen! :D Great pictures.

Only 15??? That's quite the downer, now isn't it?

0.0.1 Avicularia diversipes
0.1.0 Avicularia metallica
0.0.1 Avicularia versicolor

I'm looking to ditch all my males eventually and replace with females. If anyone is interested in trading or buying outright please make me an offer. I'd really like to get rid of my bros.

[x Mr Awesome x]

My roommate's birthday was a few weeks ago. For a couple months now as I've watched tarantula video after tarantula video he has watched an equal number of frog videos without ever having owned a frog. So. I remedied this situation by organizing a friend wide effort to pool our finances and get my good friend a frog of his very own. He ended up getting a very nice tall exo terra tank with all the fixins and a very very cute 'White's' or 'Dumpy' tree frog. Here's some pics I took with the same camera I do everything with. Hope you guys enjoy!!!

I might also add that my birthday is day after tomorrow and I happened to notice a few of the t's on my wish list missing off of Ken the Bug Guy's list! They are the C. marshalli and a 6" P. striata female. I'm so excited and can't wait till they get here!!!

-ben

[TalonAWD]

Excellent pictures of the froggy. Looks so cute. I am considering Poison Dart frogs.

[redrumpslump]

Dude Mack is the bomb. Hopefully Luna never gets ahold of him that would be an ugly sight. Idk what Nate would do if that happened.

[x Mr Awesome x]

Here's a quick one of my freshly molted A. geniculata. I checked the molt and sexed it as male. Sucks to be me because I paid for what was supposed to be a female.

Birthday T's!!!
My friends all chipped in and ordered me two incredibly awesome t's. First is the Ceratogyrus marshalli. Boy was she pissed! I loved it! Haha. She was very quick to come out of her pill jar and fast. She was stridulating loudly. That was exciting! She quickly made herself at home though and was webbing in no time. Here's some pics:

The next t has a funny story. We ordered 6" Poecilotheria striata last week and Ken the Bug Guy has been on vacation. When it came time to ship the warehouse notified Ken that the striata was not in the inventory. It had either been sold, traded, died, who knows. It was no where to be found. Ken called me on my cell and sent an email yesterday, the Monday prior to Thanksgiving, while on vacation out of state to try and straighten out the order. He offered to refund the money and I explained that it was a birthday gift to me and was pretty hard set on getting a couple of t's. Well, long story short after a few phone calls Ken called to tell me that he had a 6" formosa to replace the striata with if I were interested. I was indeed!!! I personally like the formosa way more!!! So it was here the very next day (today) as promised. She is a knock out. Beautiful cream and black with orange hairs. Very vivid!!! Here are the pics I was able to get today before she very quickly settled in:

Nothing like bday gifts.Your friends picked very well too.

[Teal]

VERY nice! C. marshalli is gettin' high up on my list.. what a gorgeous girl you got!

[x Mr Awesome x]

I really think this is a particularly awesome specimen of marshalli. The horn is really pronounced! It's loud lookin'!!! RAWRRrR! I'm a huge fan of baboons in general and have all the ones that I love except M. balfouri. That may be a while! Really though. Major threat displays. She rolled all the way over to her back and stridulated the whole time and flexed the fangs. It was all out gang signs. I came back into the room ten minutes later and she still hadn't moved. So yeah. I'm in love. The formosa is so elegant and classy. I'm gonna say it right now. My favorite poke! Thanks for the compliments and be sure tho check the videos of me unpacking these from my youtube link in my signature. Later!

OGFR!! Ben my birthdays in February ha

Alright man. There's supposedly this new species that is literally 10x's the size of a blondi from the Bermuda Triangle. It's called the Silverback and it's apparently named for it's similar size to the famous gorilla of the same name. It kicks over school buses and eats the children inside with a straw that it carries in it's pocket. It chokes out trains and puts helicopters in arm bars. This thing is sooo tough. They don't even size slings in inches they weigh them in pounds. I'm gonna get you a two pounder. The breeders had to train a bear to wrestle it into a deli cup. They're running out of bears. So intense!!:razz:

[Ariel]

Congrats on the new Ts! that marshalli is awesome!

Very nice! Those are some great Ts!

Hope you guys like these! I recently traded some of my males for some new t's. I now have a beautiful P. rufilata, L. parahybana female, 6" A. geniculata female, and a female OBT. I'm waiting for some of these to molt before pics. They're rockin' some skullets. Haha. Enjoy!

Great shots!

would the one that molted be that gorgeous C. marshalli of yours? (Just a guess)

[x Mr Awesome x]

Here's a pic of my beautiful Acanthoscurria geniculata that I've had for about 2 months. She finally molted today and looks absolutely incredible! She is my favorite terrestrial! She's close to 7"

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q175/bensmr_awesome/IMG_1280.jpg

I also have a freshly molted Lasiodora parahybana that is probably close to 5" that I need to get some pics of. I also have two new scorpions: Babycurus jacksoni and Heterometrus longimanus
Tomorrow I'll be receiving a shipment as well. Can't wait!!!
-ben

[Ariel]

Great pics.

So what was the one that molted in your last post, you never said.

[x Mr Awesome x]

Ding Ding Ding!!! It was my beautiful marshalli. As soon as I get a chance I'm going to take some pics of her. She's very pissy!
Here some black light pics of my new Heterometrus longimanus:

I got some incredible t's today. I can't wait to share!!!


-ben

[x Mr Awesome x]

Here's the pics that I've been promising with no delivery until now! I'm at this point very satisfied with my collection. I probably won't consider any more tarantulas at this time. I'm wanting a bearded dragon though! If anyone has any great leads for great specimens at great prices please PM me!
Here's some more of my beautiful baboons!!!

Is it white or blue scorppion?? What genus?

[x Mr Awesome x]

Is it white or blue scorppion?? What genus?

Huh? I'm trying to get what you're asking. The species names are listed above the pics. The Heterometrus longimanus is sometimes referred to as the Asian blue forest scorpion, or something like that, for having a sightly bluish tint.

[redrumpslump]

It's called a blacklight

[Fily]

your geniculata is beautiful! :)

[x Mr Awesome x]

I got these guys in the mail today. To be honest, I couldn't sleep from the excitement. I received a male B. jacksoni that was supposed to be female, more on this later, a Grosphus grandidieri female (I think?), and some sweet Heterometrus longimanus babies! I was pretty pumped about the freebies. Now I have three H. longimanus that I'm keeping communally. It's really cool to see them buddy up and eat together. Anywho... the jacksoni. He is a beautiful male, simply gorgeous specimen. He was supposed to be a she though! The seller was very cool in handling the mixup. He'll be sending me a female free of charge and will let me keep the male. Sweet! I don't have a need for two males though and sold my smaller one to a friend. The Grosphus grandidieri is a stunning species. Charcoal black with some rusty shaded tips. Huge telson on this one. I'm going to post some pics in a thread to try and confirm the gender. Here's some pics!!!

Here is my awesome male Groshpus grandidieri. To my surprise he was not very aggressive or too flighty either. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm putting my guard down anytime soon. Here's some pics!

AWESOME!!!! Wow She is gorgeous! Excellent pictures!!!:worship::worship::worship:

[x Mr Awesome x]

And this is why I wanted a Brachypelma emilia!!! Insane colors!!! There was a ton of growth this molt which really surprised me. The abdomen was really big for the size of the t and I figured that like my B. albiceps would have carried a lot of that size over to the next molt. Nope! All went into overall size.
