Marlon Bronson RIP (?-2011)
-
I could see it was coming.
Little old Marlon Bronson has been looking old and frail for a while. This morning he couldn’t walk, though still tried to bite me, and he has now died. Fighting until the end.
I’ve been desperate to get him mated. I bought a female but he only seemed interested in eating her food and drinking her water. After many failed mating attemps, I left him for an overnight stay in her enclosure last week, expecting to find him as a tidy eaten little silked package outside her burrow. Instead I found him looking well and her burrow silked over, which I suspect could mean they did mate. Fingers crossed I might hear the sound of many pattering feet.
Anyway, here are a few snaps of Marlon, thanks for the memories ๐the big man as a little lad
tring to bite me

Posted 9 years ago]Bumped off by his Missus after years of domestic abuse I reckon.
Posted 9 years agoWell at least it seems he got a bunk up before he died. I bet you would’ve been gutted if Marlon had died a virgin.

Marlon was my best man when I got married, and there at the birth of my son, Marlon. He even offered a kidney when I got a stone, but we don’t have the same blood type.
I hope you realise how foolish you sound, “only a spider”, pissssssssh.You’ve upset Roper, Rainbow. That’s bang out of order. ๐
Posted 9 years agoVery sad indeed. I lost my female Horned Baboon a couple of months ago without her being mated ๐ฅ

Posted 9 years agoI lost my female Horned Baboon a couple of months ago ….
I had to look up Horned Baboon as I had no idea what it was. I was surprised to discover just how “unbaboon-like” they are. And they also appear to have a distinct lack of “horns”.
Posted 9 years agoThey have one horn which if you look at the bottom picture you can just make it out in the middle of it’s body. I could have said Ceratogyrus darlingi which is what we know it best as ๐
Posted 9 years agosorry about that Hadge, if I get some slings I’ll let you know. ๐
Most African tarantulas are called baboons. Their legs are supposed to resemble a baboons finger. There are a few horned baboons. It is a sort or horn called a foveal horn, found in the centre of the carapace. C.marshali have the largest horn , about 2cm or so.
edit, hadge hows your green snake doing? Has it got its mature coouration yet?
Posted 9 years agoRIP Marlon. He looked like a bad-ass spider.
Posted 9 years agoCheers Pete, that will be great and best of luck and I hope they did “do the business”

Here’s the GTP in it’s latest colour phase. I can’t wait for the full on “proper” Green colour to come out but it’s getting there. I’m just in the process of completing it’s new full-on planted viv with misting system too. It’ll be the centre piece in my living room when it’s completed lol
Cheerio Marlon. ๐

Posted 9 years agoStunning snake there Hadge. You can see the colour coming through.
I would be interested in seeing the full set up when it’s completed too. It sounds great.I will have to wait a few months to see if the mating was succesful. The female has been acting a little differently so I am hopeful.grantway, he was a special spider ๐
Posted 9 years agoall these weird and wonderful creatures, I prefer more mainstream pets like an armadillo or an elephant called Keith ๐
Posted 9 years agoI suppose it’s only fitting to report his demise on the web….
Posted 9 years agoBoom-boom! ๐
Excellent.
That is a proper ‘snakey’ snake what Hadge’s got there, in’t it? ๐ฎ
Ernie showed me his snake once. It was not nice at all. He made me touch it even though I didn’t want to. ๐ฅ
