My new T's

hey everyone,

Long story short;

about 2 weeks ago I went to buy a T. Ockerti when I got home and saw the spider i had the feeling it wasn't a T. Ockerti. I posted some pic's here on the forum and it indeed wasn't a T. Ockerti but a B. Vagans I called the pet shop and they where sorry for the mix up and I was welcome to come by and change the B. Vagans for the T. Ockerti and as a bonus I would get a 10 euro discount on my next purchase from them.

So today I went back to the pet shop and took home the T. Ockerti and 1 other

the set-up; I tried to make it semi-arboreal by giving him/her the option to climb and he/she can make a hide under the piece of diagonal cork bark in the right corner




The Thrixopelma Ockerti






Now when I saw this little one I immediately saw the difference between this one and the B. Vagans I took home and felt kinda stupid for making that mistake but I am very happy to have this little one home now!

The other spider I took with me is a little Avicularia Avicularia, I saw it and I was in love with it and with the 10 euro discount I was gonna get I just had to take him/her with me
She is my first arboreal and she is my first small step (and when I say small step I mean a small step) on my way towards keeping a P. Irminia and some Poecilotheria species.

the set-up:




and the little one it self:






I'd like to say I haven't held any of my tarantula's before, this little one just crawled out of the container I brought it home with on to my hand.

I have to admit, it felt kinda cool though

Sorry for the crappy cellphone pic's.

Thanks for looking

Andrew

So you haven't anymore that lovely Brachypelma vagans? IMO those are the best among genus Brachypelma... they have attitude.

no I dont have him anymore, at first I thought; what the hell I'll keep this B. Vagans. Then I got a picture of him in the sexing part and it was sexed as a male and probably a male that was gonna mature out soon and that made me decide to bring him back and take home the T. Ockerti I actually paid for.

That's right. A (near to become) mature male is not worth if you aren't into breeding. They are funny T's, however. If one day you find a female specimen i suggest you one, man.

View attachment 140449 I have an Avic avic, the exact size and love it. Love the lil socks they wear and the way they walk. Cuties
