    New additions and couple of T's i've had since slings.

    Here we have my 2 year old Grammostola Rosea. 1 year old Grammostola Pulchra (shes a beauty). And my new slings... Psalmopoeus cambridgei, Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, Avicularia versicolor, Brachypelma auratum, and Brachypelma smithi.
    The Avicularia are just gorgeous as slings. My wife calls them 'little Christmas trees.'

        Aw, the slings are lovely I particularly like the "Little Christmas Trees" I have a few of them knocking about - and now I can only think of Christmas Trees when I see them LOL.
        The H. lividum is a stunner. Very nice.

          P. Ornata Juvi

          Here's my gorgeous P. Ornata hunting for cricks at night.

          She is always active at night, and will make a quick retreat to her webbed funnel on the underside of the cork bark slab if disturbed.

          A pleasure to watch, and extremely fast and accurate hunter.

            Here's my Chile Rose. unsexed, im waiting eagerly for the next moult to find out. 11cm legspan.
            And my new Haitian Brown. Unsexed. maybe 7cm legspan. Eats like nothing i've ever seen! And is more defensive than my H.lividum! She even attacks water droplets on the viv wall! Amazing to watch. I understand that these are terrestrial/burrowers. Mine has totally blocked the front entrance of the cork bark slab, and actually built a sort of huge cave underneath. Ill add some more pics later. She is constantly at the entrance of the burrow waiting for more food. One of the best T's to own imo.
