Awesome pics!!! Your mexican redknee looks like a mexican redleg[emilia] Not trying to be cheeky:)

[jaleely]

awesome! your mexican red knee is really dark! Ours is more brown. I need to post some updated spider pics. We were also thinking of starting a dubia colony.

[Caylan]

Awesome pictures, I really am partial to the black widow though, stunning! I also really like the gold knee, she's very cool!

[BarelyBreathing]

Thanks, guys and gals.

The gold knee and the widow are my favorites, too. :D

[theapexgerman]

Wow nice pics love the first one

[alessia55]

Great photos, but ew, I'm staying away from this thread :p

[theapexgerman]

You wouldn't want to hold the redknee lol

[BarelyBreathing]

The red knee is fine. It's the pink rump you have to worry about.

[theapexgerman]

Is the pink rump an agressive one?

[BarelyBreathing]

Nah, she just likes to kick hairs every time you look at her.

[theapexgerman]

Cant w8 as I find a green bottle blue I'm getting one and the your red knee looks cool

[Trent]

Green bottle blues are nice! Singapore blues are nice and they get huge!
Love the monster tarantulas....

[theapexgerman]

Imma going to be a owner of a spider but I don't wanna order them so I got to find them localy and I got BB here to give me advice on spiders

[BarelyBreathing]

I have a green bottle blue. I've only seen it like... six times, though. Haha.

Hubby definitely knows more about the tarantulas than I, but if you ask me I will forward the questions to him. :D

[theapexgerman]

Wow only 6 times why so little are they agressive?

[BarelyBreathing]

Mine just hides all the time. I haven't seen it to know if it's edgy.

[theapexgerman]

I'm hopeing when I get my corn next week my breeder is looking for a green bottle blue for me can you take a pic or two of your green bottle blue if it ever leaves it hide

[Trent]

Mine never hid that much,but spun webs like crazy the whole tank!

[theapexgerman]

With spiders how often do you got to clean up the webs or do you

[BarelyBreathing]

I really don't clean their webs.

I have pictures of the GBB...

It's still a sling.

[theapexgerman]

Wow I diffently want one now

[BarelyBreathing]

They're very cool.

[theapexgerman]

Yea I'm diffently getting one for sure now there so bright and as I reading easy to care for

[jaleely]

We've actually had bad luck with our green bottle blues. Hubby's first one grew up, and lived for a couple years, and then we moved it to our townhouse, where we think it got too cold, and died. We had a baby, that died, and we have another baby now. Started off as a sling, and has molted a couple times. We have trouble with heat and humidity. We weren't going to get another one, but at the last reptile show it was in the check out line on sale and hubby couldn't resist! lol

[theapexgerman]

Aww I'm not no were near spider expert but arnt spiders like hardy inverts and if I ever find someone selling a green bottle blue ill get it but there's like no reptile shows here like never

[Trent]

Spiders actually need high humidity to survive and the big tarantulas dropped from as little as a couple of feet can burst like a balloon.So not as tough as most people think.

Wow good thing they don't much cause ill most diffently will get one in the upcomming weeks

[DragonsEye]

Nice inverts BB. How long have you had the Amblypygid?

I have to agree with Trent, I don't think yours is a Mexican Red Knee (B. smithii) -- the coloration is wrong.

@Apex: There's a reason B. smithii are used so often in the movies -- they rarely try to bite, are slow moving, and get relatively large. Biggest issue is the hairs they may kick off. Some folks get extremely itchy from them.

Chromatopelma cyanopubens (GBB), keep in mind, are not T's to handle. The venom is no big deal, and they are unlikely to bite, BUT they tend to be major hair flickers (and many folks find that the hairs REALLY make them itch) and the buggers are fast. As the result of the latter, therefore there is a greater chance that if you are hold a Cc and something spooks it (and it often doesn't take much), the T may bolt and wind up falling to its death. Being soft bodied, unlike a roach or many insects, it doesn't take much of a fall to kill a T.

Btw, proper term is defensive not aggressive. ;)

Have to disagree with Trent's blanket statement about humidity. Yes some true spiders do need high humidity but many do not -- same goes for Ts. T's from arid regions can die from too much humidity. My G. rosea (rose hair) for example is kept very dry. A small waterdish is her only water source. Her enclosure humidity is the same as the rest of my apt -- which currently has an RH of about 25-30%. Cc's, as adults, are also T's for arid enclosures though perhaps a bit less so than G. rosea.

Jaylee, as slings, Cc's do generally require a bit more humidity and water than they will as adults. I water my baby by squirting some droplets of water onto its webbing a couple of times a week.

[theapexgerman]

Oh nice information yea I won't be holding my spider to much lol I like them and all but don't wanna get bite what are the cage requirments for a green bottle blue

[BarelyBreathing]

Dragon- I've always wondered a bit about the red knee. What do you think it is?

The whip I've had for several years now. When I first got him, you could barely see him. He's grown huge.

Also, that's what we do for our GBB sling.

[bushsnake]

its not a red knee(Brachypelma smithi) what you have is a flame knee(Brachypelma auratum)

[BarelyBreathing]

I didn't know there was a difference! Cool, thanks!

[DragonsEye]

Your mexican redknee looks like a mexican redleg[emilia] Not trying to be cheeky:)

Oh be 'cheeky', Trent! :p Actually, it doesn't seem correct for that one either, though it definitely is a Brachy. (And to answer your Q, BB, I'm not quite sure -- just that coloring does not fit for smithii.)

I assume your Ambly has vertical walls as well? (Can't really tell from the pic.)

Yayyyyyy Bushsnake!

BB, Brachypelma is an entire genus. It's possible the seller didn't know any better. One of the reasons I dislike "common names".

Black widow
http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m611/SnakeShed/BarelyBreathing/Widow.jpg

This reminds me when my son had 2 Widows as pets. One of them he named after his mom, go figure. Anyway, I was ok with him kepping them as pets until they started laying egg sacks.

[BarelyBreathing]

Yep, walls, crevices, different textures (wood and stone).

[jaleely]

Yup our red knee has a dryer tank than the others. Our area seems to be very humid for the needs of a green bottle blue...we think the first one got too cold once we moved him here....the second wasn't moist enough for being a baby. we seem to be doing okay so far with this one. I think when it starts to get it's adult coloring then we'll back off on the humidity. i just feel bad we had to learn at the other's expense!
