Default Some of our fuzzies.

I figured while I spend some time catching up with all the information here, I could post a few pics of our extended family. A lot of these had stories to go with them at the time of taking, but since I'm new here and don't want to bore you with a long diatribe per photo, let's just toss em out there!

That's cool, thumbnails+lightbox. Nice touch.

The following are a few from our last breeding project; Pedro is our loaner MM, and he was lucky enough to have two lovely ladies waiting here and willing to take him out to dinner. Quite iterally almost, our eldest rosea (quite large for her species at nearly 6" and crotchety to boot) tried to nom him after their first date and I just barely managed to block her with a catch cup.

Last but not least, our possibly gravid Pterinochilus lugardi. She's a feisty girl, and can still move quite fast despite the junk in the trunk.

Hah, I didn't realize that Marty had added a lightbox module... huzzah.

Thanks for the pics, the 8 legged little ones are looking sleek... I especially like the last pic in the first set, the reddish one (wolverine, I'm assuming? : )

Yep, she's our Pterinochilus murinus (OBT, Orange Baboon Tarantula, also known as Orange Bitey Thing). We've had her since she was a juvy, and around that time we were naming all our animals after X-men characters. The picture is a bit cloudy because she's in one of our older enclosures; she built such a snazzy condo in there we haven't had the heart to rehome her yet.

"Orange Bitey Thing" ... I've got to remember that one : D

Good eye! The second is an Avicularia versicolor, the Antilles or Martinique Pink Toe. The first is actually a Psalmopoeus irminia or Venezuelan suntiger, and is one feisty little girl. We got them at the same time as a Psalmopoeus cambridgei, another arboreal (and the third picture I believe, though I can't see just as I write this) who decided it would be a good plan to run up my arm to the top of my head and make a leap of faith from there to the floor in order to complete her escape.

Interesting animals.
