That's my first one, after it's first molt with me. around 1.5 inches. If you couldn't tell, or guess, that is a G. rosea.

Angry 2+" OBT
I got them recently for 2 for $10!
The rest of my spiders are too secretive to get a decent photo of.
Thanks

Updates (Part 1)

Went to the local pet store and brought home another 2 spiders!
Got my first pokie; pretty exited, already had my first chase!
Anyways to the pictures we go:


P. rufilata sling's new enclosure:

The inhabitant:

The other was sold as an E. pulcherrimaklaasi; not sure if it is that species or maybe a Homoeomma sp. "blue"
The female:

N. coloratovillosus:

Haven't posted any pics of my B. albopilosum, because its always hiding in its burrow. I did manage to take a photo of this spot on the bottom of its abdomen for the past two molts. Do any of you guys know what it is?

I caught this little land crab (1") last year in Taiwan, and have no idea what species it is:

Beautiful pics! I absolutely love the lighting. I'm totally jealous of the price you paid for your female B. Smithi. ;)

P. subfusca

Got a 3/4" P. subfusca "highland" from TC at the expo in Toronto a couple weeks ago. By far my favorite looking T out there, so I'm pretty stoked about this lil' guy (hopefully its a girl).
I couldn't get the best shots, but I took a couple that weren't too atrocious, still not the clearest though.

My N. coloratovillosus molted again, and is looking awesome. Man, they grow up so fast ;)
