sorry Im late lol. Hes right though. As far as having stones holding the OBT, it was right after the pics of him pissed too lmao, let me see if I have the pics of him getting on my hand. Oh and dont do that this at home kids. Their bite can be very bad and they like to do it. Ive got a different outlook on life with a few things, its not a macho thing so nobody go hold crazy things for the sake of being macho lol.

They are pet holes. They need to dig. Once you get one, it will dig a hole and you will almost never see it.

I plan on getting one eventually regardless. They would be a good species to breed.

Here's one of my Ts and some of the other arachnids I own:

Ceratogyrus darlingi, the curved horn baboon tarantula. This one is named Kory, who I think might be female. She's a juvenile right now, so the horn on her cephalothorax isn't fully developed yet but still noticeable. One of my favorite genera.

Dolomedes tenebrosus, a fishing spider I collected in August. Still alive today. She damaged her leg when I found her...it was really slowing her down, so she ate it! She just molted a few months ago and has 8 legs again! Hence her name, Lucky.

And my latest acquisition, a Dysdera crocata, the woodlouse hunter. Check out those fangs!!!! She's in a threat pose here...when I prodded her with a pen to get her to reveal her face, she jumped up and bit the pen!

Plenty more spiders where those pics came from!

lollllll u know that just doesnt make sense....
why does something be so pretty just to crawl ina hole for its entire life???
 
I almost got a T at the show last weekend but decided I need to do more research first. I am so getting one at the next show though. My roommate is going to hate it, LOL. She already doesn't like my snakes. Nice collections everyone.
