I went to the SoCal IRBA show yesterday (anyone else?) and got 2 new spiders. A striking adult (4") H. maculata (i think its female) and a 2" juvenile P. irmani. Those suntigers are quick! probably the fastest I've ever owned. I had a fun time getting them all situated. My H. gigas escaped when I was switching his enclosures so I could put the suntiger in his old place. Digging a mean burrower out is no fun! Luckily I caught it but not after my semi-arachnophobic girlfriend screamed and ran out of the living room (probably not the best place to carry out such a task). Then I had a fun time of putting the maculata in his new home. I used a critter keeper turned upright and trying to get the spider in there is no easy feat. Fortunately, the maculata was not very aggressive, just trying to hide. I transfered her in the bathtub just in case, glad I did.
