So, I finally got a better camera so I can share my awesome Ts with you guys! Happydance!

First, an old pic of my G. rosea Persephone that I took after her first molt in my care back in January

This is my little A. geniculata which I rehoused yesterday

One of my three A. diversipes slings!

My A. purpurea "#1" which recently molted. Both A. purpureas look male (by molt)

And "#2" aiming his bum at me

My little GBB. Cute little dude!

Due to it being super reclusive and skittish, this was the first time I was able to get a good pic of my C. fimbriatus. It actually was about to wander out of its enclosure right after the pic. Definitely not one you want to have to try to chase after

And one of its cute face!

Thanks! I'm excited to finally be able to share with everyone

I've been on an Avic kick myself lately. The diversipes are beautiful and one of mine have molted so far (the other two are a couple weeks behind now, lol). Thanks, and good luck! Everyone should have a collection of super fuzzies

Would love to see more pics! Also u opinion on ease of care and the like. I have raised a few avics, paslamos and poeci. I'd assume I'd have little trouble with them however I alwase worry about them.

It took me a bit to get the feel of caring for the tiny Avic slings, but mostly just give water as needed on moss and leaves and otherwise lots of cross ventilation. The A. diversipes slings I had trouble getting to feed at first and I had to wiggle cricket legs for them, but now they're eating prekilled fine. I still check on them constantly since I lost an A. diversipes sling early in the year which made me a little paranoid. Lol. More pics to come for sure!

Very adorable little ones you have there. I especially like the fimbriatus-that face. D: <3

PeaceBee · Dec 20, 2013

I seem to have a knack for catching the cute faces. A friend who used to be horrified by my pics on Facebook now shares them, saying I make them seem like kitty cats

Cute A. purpurea face (back when it was smaller)

"Feed meeee!" :3

I was having trouble sleeping last night, so I got a few more pics

A. avicularia. This T is super sweet and docile. Hopefully will get a molt eventually so I can determine gender definitively.

A second A. diversipes sling finally molted yesterday. Hopefully the third will follow. Took a pic of the molt for friends to see just how super tiny they are!

My little versi! It is in premolt but pretty as ever

Pic turned out a little blurry, though ><

This is my H. arizonensis, the only scorp I have. He's SOOOOO ANGRYYYY!!!

I'm going to be adding a LOT of sand to the scorp's substrate, by the way. It's not very burrow-friendly at the moment

But will be, soon!

Nice pics, I want to see MORE!! You do have a good eye for the camera!

Thanks!!! I need to fiddle around with camera settings. I've been in death-by-math mode in an intersession class and haven't found time. Here are a few older pics, though!

Really blurry pic of my P. metallica right after its last molt. It's in premolt now and I can't wait to get new (better) pics!

My P. regalis molted who knows when, but a couple weeks ago I finally saw new pokietoes peeking out at me!

Still being reclusive, though!

This is Shiva, one of my two giant African millis

And her with my smaller milli

Another pic of an A. diversipes sling. I love this species so!

Some of these were taken with my phone, hence cruddy quality.

A. diversipes are awesome looking. Candy-store T's ! All the best, Jen!

Thanks, Jan! That is the best description of them for sure!
Here are a couple pics of my A. versicolor that molted yesterday!

And one closer up. That blue is so awesome!

This one will be rehoused once it is safe to do so

A. diversipes. This one turned out kind of funky and cool

My G. rosea Persephone molted a couple weeks ago

Sitting in odd positions after molting!

And today she had her first meal. The way she nommed it resulted in the cricket's ovipositor sticking up between her fangs. "Do I have something in my teefs?"

Just a quick update. I got more critters!

I've always wanted a vinegaroon!

I got a little flower mantis (should be C. gemmatus). She's photogenic

And so tiny! Random cat hair courtesy of Nano the kittymonster.

All my A. diversipes molted

As did my P. metallica! Looks male to me (by molt)

And finally, a pic of my subadult female A. chalcodes. This will be my first species to breed

Nice pics! Your diversipes looks really cool, and I like the blue flowers with the p metallica; good idea using blue

Thanks! Everyone should own diversipes

Their coloration from molt to molt is just fantastic!
The P. metallica's enclosure was really fun to put together. It's all webbed up now, but here is what it looked like initially!

A water dish and some moss were added after the pic was taken.

Beautiful pics. I especially love the one with the little mantis sitting on your thumb.
