NAMES

just came to my attention that with 2 spiderlings this blog could get confusing so its time to name the little beasts.

first off a little bit of info about the new spiderling

(Brachypelma albopilosum) Curlyhair Tarantula

Curlyhair Tarantulas have gold and tan hairs covering their bodies. The legs are a darker brown, in contrast to the practically bronze carapace. This comes out to be one fine-looking spider without being exceedingly colorful. Also, true to their common name, most Curlyhair Tarantulas have hair that looks curly (actually more wavy than curvy, but we'll let that slide). They are very hardy tarantulas that make lasting pets. They also make great "show" spiders since they can be taken out and handled, although handling should not take place frequently because there's always the possibility of the tarantula falling off your hand and splitting it's abdomen open (likely fatal). Curlyhair Tarantulas seem to have more personality (tarantulality) than the conventional starter species

here is a pic of what he may look like when fully grown.


anyway back to the names.

my first spiderling aka Chaco golden knee is now going to be know as: TOCOT

sounds a bit crazy but its the name of a Mayan spider god!!

and the new addition aka Curlyhair kis now called: fluffy

yes i did.....tocot and fluffy....well he is hairier already
