*Waving hello*

Artanius and I are very new to this hobby, and we had no idea we had a female G rosea. She bagan spinning a large cup shaped web yesterday, so we started taking pictures through the whole process. Unfortunatly, we were asleep last night when she actualy laid the eggs so we missed that part. We also learned since posting here yesterday about having a sponge in the water dish.. the sponge has been removed.

Here are all of the pictures we took, 56k user warning!

Oh hey, you guys are in Tacoma? If your interested i'm in the area too and have some slings for sale. PM or IM me if your interested, or if you want to see my collection. Of course you are going to have like 600 little roseas running around if these hatch out.

Very neat pics, awesome quality
Do away with the sponge though, bad idea as it can get stuck in their fangs.

Thanks for sharing!

Edit: Nvm, after reading more on your page, I see that you already know
