Arachnid Appreciation Thread Version 2.1
 

Well I wanted to set up this little thread for the curious or those who actiually own Arachnids of any kind, whether they are Tarantulas, Scorpions or True Spiders. I have myself a decent little collection. Here are a few pics for you to enjoy.

Firstly, here's my Dodoma Baboon whipping herself into a frenzy because I dared touch her webbing in an effort to give her fresh water in her waterdish.

Next is a shot of my favorite spider in my collection, my Pink Zebra Beauty Gypsy. And as a bonus for all you guys out there, you can even see the hint of my shapely left leg. :wink:

I don't have any pet spiders but my house is crawling with wild spiders! I don't mind them too much. They keep the other bugs out.

Hmmmmm....well the only thing my spiders do is eat crickets and try to spear me with their fangs in the case of my Dodoma Baboon. I also have 2 scorpions with two more on the way.

Scorpions are cool!

Let me dredge up a photo of my two current Scorpions I own. It's funny because they are both in the same genus, Pandinus. Plus they're both adults but one is radically bigger than the other. Let me find the side by side size comparison shot for you.

Well that was quick. Here are my current scorpions. Destroyer is the big monster to the left. And yes. I named her after a Godzilla Kaiju. She is called an Emperor Scorpion. (Pandinus imperator) Sasori is the teenie tiny one to the right. Her breed is called merely the Red Claw. (Pandinus cavimanus)

heh the pets are named after G-monsters.....KICK ASS!

i am now exposed as a godzilla freak

Godzilla Vs. Destroyer kicked butt!!
The only Godzilla movie I don't like is that CRAPPY american remake with Mathew Broderick in it!

thus ghidorah2000's sig

but godzilla vs destroyer made me sad by the end.....just thinking about it..........(shatner moment) WHY?!?!!?!??!!!??!?!!?!?!?!?

Goji's death in Destroyer was sad. Akira Ifukube's music set the tone for that wave of emotion as well. You got the feeling that it was the end of an era. But......

Back on topic.....here is a photo of one of my more prettier spiders, my Avicularia versicolor, Asia. This is a rare opportunity because she mostly spends her time inside her tube web.

ok i got a question....if you get bitten by a radioactive spider.....does it give you super powers?

im just asking because......*my hand is all bitten* no reason :D

My best suggestion for you would be to stop biting your hand thinking you're a radioactive spider.

:lol: :tlol:

It's ok, Stryker! We still think you're funny!
GAH!!! Did that just come out of my mouth!?? :| :blanksta:

*gets on a boogie board and scoots away*

janitor:"i've never seen him so down.......or ever before.."
