hey man...u comin to 'T time' tuesday nights? 7-8 pacific time...

wer just gonna shoot the sh*t bout Ts and scorps...

be nice if u stopped by, even if just for a few mins...i know ud have some fun topics.

wer tryin to keep IG from dying. i messaged well over 100 people who hadnt been to IG in more than 4 months...iv gotten 5 different messages of people saying something like "oops, forhot about IG"...i dont want that to happen!!-its so much more personal here than arachnoboards(not that i dont spend my fair share of time there)

iv gotten at least 5 people since yesterday saying theyl be there, and another 10 say theyr not...idk?...im hoping its not gonna be a flop. either way, wer gona attempt to do it every tuesday, so if u cant make it this tuesday, concider the next week after...

Mike, I hope you're having a good day and feeling better. If not, I hope you feel better, soon. 

I've created a rather nice organized species gallery on SFBATS, and I've been adding photos and species as submissions come in. I'd love to see some of your photos in there. Check out what we have so far, and submit any pics you'd like in our submission thread in the 'Tarantula Pictures' forum Sticky for gallery submissions. It will be rather nice once we building it. Check it out! Hope to use some of your stuff to help fill our gallery!


Edgar

they like humidity, come from more tropical areas. lower 80s day low 70s night. if you can even get them to sting it would be more then likely not much to speak of, ive messed with these a few times and never got them to sting. 1.5" is about avarage size for them, good luck with the babies

V.confusus stings hurt me for 5-15 min, i wouldnt say its quite as painful as a bee sting but different people react differently. ive never experianced any real noticable swelling but sometimes my finger would feel a little stiff the next day

thanx
