Hi! I know i have been gone for a while, and i have tons and tons to catch up on. Been incredibly busy lately with my new (ridiculous) workhours, and some other stuff that has been going on. But here i am, finally getting used to the hours! I have missed the forums, and i'll try to update here n there. However besides these new residents and the passing of my rats, not much has changed! Still slowly working on the background in tubs whenever i find time! Thank god snakes don't have a same concept of time as we do, they might just vote me worst contractor ever.
Anyway! After the very early passing of my last spider because it was a male, i was so bummed out that i didn't get another. I recently decided i wanted to pick it back up! So i went for a female this time, of one of my favorite species. So i bought one, and obviously with my luck it now looks like it's a male (80% sure, wont know 100% until (s)he molts), so in stead of just accepting my fate i decided 2 spiders will work too. So now i got both a 'male' and a 100% sure female Grammostola Pulchripes. ('Chaco Golden Knee')
The male is a bit more shy during the day and only comes out at night, his pictures both taken at night. He measures around 2.3 inches body lenght. The female really doesn't care what i do as long as she doesn't have to move too much, she's close to 4inch body length.
Male with the first dinner he has had here.
Male.
Female.
Female again.
Female without flash
My view from the couch, i know 2 skulls are wearing hats. (Prank by my brother and i did not notice until i took this picture haha) And yes, the top enclosure is empty, i am still hoping to run into my one of my other favorites as a (semi) adult female, spiders aren't that popular around here lately, hard to come by anything older than a few weeks. I got very lucky with these chaco's
And since my spiders only eat a few grashoppers a week, and they usually die within a week.. The grashoppers have their own little home with food etc.
Hi everyone, back again with 2 new additions.
