Well now that I'm back feel free to ask any questions about inverts. I'd be glad to help. After all, a lot of people here have helped me with my reptile questions.

Looks like you've been keeping yourself busy!!

Can I see a pic of your Tiggerump, when I was in CR we stayed in this hotel that was overrun with spiders, the locals called them tiger somethings, was wondering if they were the same ones. I hope not, I still have nightmares lol.

Wow, that is quite a list. Yes please, can we see some pics...

:D I'm smiling because I have no idea whats going on!

I will try to get pics by this weekend, sorry no promises though (busy with college) BUT yes I will try to get pics ASAP. I was actually going to post pics a while back but I guess something happened with the forums and I couldnt log on. Since then my pics got erased cuz some idiot messed with my comp and deleted my whole hard-drive.

P.S. Chronic, the spider may be the one you have spotted since it is a C.R. native. I got bit by this species 2 weeks ago and it ****ed. I still have a red area on my arm. Although there is no pain my muscles feel tight and it sometimes itches. If I don't get pics in time you can always search the web. Rick West's website has PLENTY of pics. The Scientific name for the tarantula is Cyclosternum Fasciatum, look it up.

The forum crashed a few months ago and we all had to start out with new post numbers and lost alot of posts here ...
Welcome back though

edit: sorry I didn't know s**ks is edited in these forums. Ill try to keep it more clean

Welcome back eper!! We've missed you!

We have also had a few additions to our arachnid collection - we now have 7 Ts: a chile rose, an indian ornamental, a greenbottle blue, a suntiger, a blue fang, a togo starburst and our cobalt (some pics around on the forum).. we also are now in possession of a centipede yuk

Sadly our ornamental, who lost her fangs, just died yesterday Wanted to say thanks for all your help, and to everyone else who offered advice - unfortunately we couldn't do anything for her, although we tried what we could, but I'm glad she's out of pain now..

Come on Eper.. where are these pics???

Hey Bitis, can you please post a pic of the centipede? I've had a few additions to my centipede collection. My most prized one being my 11'' Haitian Giant. You MUST be VERY careful with them, theyre great escape artists. Oh and congrats on the new t's, your building up quite a collection! I have all of those except the blue-fang, i would like to pick one up on the next reptile show. The GBB are one of my most favorite t's ever, very colorful. And the suntigers are nice also except mine bit me a few weeks ago...

Pics are in the invert section. I posted them there because not all of them are arachnids, check them out and tell me what you think. I will also be adding more every week or so.

P.S. my condolences for you ornamental, mine that I've raised as a sling molted into a mature male so I got a new ornamental sling and I'm currently trying to find an adult female ornamental for breeding.
