Just got my Christmas present in the mail... Now with pictures(finally)

Just got these babies in from Steven Stamps.

Brachypelma albopilosum: Sold to me as unsexed 2", but it's more like 3"!

Xenesthis immanis: Sold as unsexed 1.5". Pretty accurate. These definitely look strange at this size! But I'm excited to have one.

Didn't get any freebies, but that's okay.
Thanks for viewing

Still do not have a camera, but phones have better cameras nowadays.

Happy Holidays!

Nice choices! I want Ts for Christmas...lol I guess they'll have to be a gift to myself! Your immanis will be one gorgeous T!

Nice! Your albo looks a lot like the 2 incher I got a few months ago. Awesome T imo, I have enjoyed it much.

Thanks I can't wait til he/she grows up! He/she is quite leggy, it's kind of cool.

And yeah the enclosure I had was geared for a 1.5" - 2" albo... I am gonna have to find a larger enclosure soon

I hope she has enough space in there.

It's just eco earth in a large bag from the LPS (coco fiber). I used to buy the bricks and it's more granulated that way, this is just the dried stuff. It's about 1 dollar per liter this way. It saves a lot of time. But this also makes it more loose and harder to pack down. I should have sprayed the sub a bit before putting them in, but they will be fine.

I REALLY want an S. calceatum, they are stunning!

Heh, usually our resolution would be, BUY LESS Ts

I thought so...that's what the texture of the compressed bricks used to be like way back in the day! The larger grain molded way less too..s cals are pretty cool this will be my first time working with them in my own collection..we used to get them in once in a great while at a higher end petstore I worked at..they were never there long enough to observe any interesting behavior tho so it will be fun to finally get some when I can... Less ts???...now your just being rediculous!lol!

Wish we had that green moss you guys have, I'm stuck with this yellow crap that looks fake as hell.

I actually bought that stuff from Jamie's tarantulas, and since you wouldn't be actually ordering the spiders I think you could buy it there. You may have to spend a lot in shipping though

The actual moss is rather cheap.

Steve is always solid buying from, usually see him at Houston repticon but he ships well too.
