I've not taken any recent pictures of my spiders but here's the latest I took of my Green Tree Python. I think they're stunning and I had a book many years ago with a picture of one on the front cover and I so wanted one but they're a bit specialised to look after requiring a sound knowledge and lots of care. So when a baby one came available to buy I took the plunge and here it is. I've owned it almost a year now too

That's one fine specimen. I am a proud owner of a one-eyed trouser snake. he likes to spit though which can be a bit messy!

Stunning snake Hadge. It has been great seeing the colour change as it has matured. Could you post a photo of the whole vivarium? I'd love to see the set up and habitat.

I've been busy with these P.regalis

I pulled the sack Wednesday night as I was concerned that mum was acting a little odd. Anyway they are in an incubator and doing well.

WTF does one do with that many baby spiders?

These are a communal species so for the time being they will be kept together in the incubator. Once they are at 3rd instar I will put them in proper housing, with soil, leaves, things to climb etcetera.

Most will be sold to anyone who has experience looking after large, arboreal tarantulas. They tend to go in groups as they make such a good community. I will keep some back, not sure how many yet. I have both female and male from these so it will be nice to have a few generations.

Ok. I had visions of the larger ones decimating the population via predation on their siblings.

I had visions of a cackling Roper leading his spider troops to world domination.

Love the snake photo, always wanted one of those!
