My spider family

[Sarah Willis]

There has been another addition to my collection this week so I thought it was time to take some new snaps.

"Cherokee" - G. Rosea RCF (female)


"Cadbury" - B. Albopilosum


"Apache" - Aphonopelma New River sp. (female)

Three nice spiders.
I'd forgotten how scruffy albops look at that age, been a long time since i've had one that size.

Maybe some form of Avicularia would make a nice next addition

The albop is a scruffy, fluffy little thing isn't he? Haha.

Funny you should say that about the Avic..... my other half had agreed that I could have 3 spiders and after that, no more! Then only the other day he saw a picture of what he described as "a blue spider with pink feet" and announced that I simply must get one of those for No 4 as he loves it. Haha. Seems I won't need to do any arm twisting to grow my collection.

I shall wait until the spring now before I go looking for any more, but Avic Metallica or maybe an Avic Versicolor is definitely on the cards.

I see you got your Aphonopelma "New River" along with a bare bum still she looks gorgeous.

A cracking little (and ever growing) collection.

Just thought I would post a new pic of my Albop - I checked on him yesterday evening and found he had moulted while I was at work. Here he is having a stretch. Couple of hours after this he was scampering about and looking comparatively huge to what he was the day before!

Latest picture of "Cadbury" my Albop just after last moult in May.

Well, other half changed his tune about how many spiders get to live at our house! I got 2 A.Versi slings earlier in the year and he decided to claim them as his own. I managed to convince him that since he had half-inched my new additions I should get to replace them with something else, haha!

I quickly added a beautiful 1.5 inch N.Chromatus ("Myra") and A.Geniculata sling ("Nugget"). Haven't got suitable photos of these two yet, but here's a picture of "Apache" - a little different from when I got her a year ago with her little bare bum. She surprised me with a moult just a couple of weeks ago and I found her strutting about showing off her new coat!
