My Tarantulas

[Wiggles92]

Here's a few pictures of my new tarantulas and their enclosures:

0.0.1 East African Horned Baboon (Ceratogyrus darlingi) ~0.75"

0.0.1 Haplocosmia nepalensis ~1.0"

0.0.1 Mysore Ornamental (Poecilotheria striata) ~5.0"

I'm going to get a big chunk of cork bark for them at the reptile show on Sunday, so I'll post new pictures once I add that in. I also have a water dish for the P. striata that I took out for the picture; the little guys need to grow another inch before they get water dishes. The substrate is a 60/40 mix of peat moss and vermiculite. All of these tarantulas will be upgraded as need be as they still have quite a bit of growing to do. I'm hoping that the P. striata turns out to be a female since it will get to be pretty big (7-8") and will live longer. Please note that I just misted the enclosures this morning, so that's why there's water droplets in there; also take note that I don't have that light on them normally rather they're on a shelf in a dark area of my room.

I also want to thank Sylvias for the Michael's arcylic cube idea; here's a link to her thread on making one.

Please let me know if you have any useful input on them and/or their enclosures.

Need to borrow Fuzzy? It might scare the baby out of her.

I picked up a nice ~3" Grammostola rosea today at the pet store. It is probably the nicest pet store G. rosea that I've come across and has pretty great coloration, especially on its cephalothorax which is a very nice shiny pink color.

I'll post some pictures once it settles in for a few hours.

Haha, I'll take some pictures in a bit; it's being a bit testy now and keeps trying to drown its crickets in the water dish (but it doesn't bite them or anything).

I only have four now, but I do intend on growing that collection as much as possible. I'm hoping to pick up two more slings at the reptile show provided that they have any of the cool species that I'm looking for currently; of course then, that list of cool species is about three dozen species long, so I should be able to find a few.

Okay, L.P., here's those pictures:

0.0.1 Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula Grammostola rosea ~3"

It seems to have a thing for the hat its on in the last picture; I opened its box earlier, and it proceeded to crawl out onto that hat and has been chilling there ever since.

What is that substrate you use for the rose hair?
