How many here are tarantula/spider keepers? These are/were my tarantulas.
Champagne, Brazilian blonde, female
Cyan, greenbottle blue, male, now deceased
Shadow, brazilian black, male
Shiver, Costa Rican zebra, sling
Charlotte, Chilean rosehair, female
I love my tarantulas like they are my babies. I have Cyan’s image tattooed on my upper right chest.

Always wanted the A. versicolor, but the last time I was looking the vendor only had tiny slings (may be 1/2 inch).
Cyan was a colourful beauty. how old do they get on average?

Males only live up to 5 years. Females can live up to 20.
@graceylou, how stressful must a spider-man's life be 
@walklightly Mature males are a rare commodity. Some people actually stud them out to breeders, and hope the males don’t get killed. Pet owners usually want females because they live much longer. When you get them as babies (slings) you don’t know what sex you’re getting usually. I will probably lose Shadow in a year or so. Charlotte I adopted at 1 1/2 years and she’s about 8 now.
We had a California Ebony years ago. Such interesting creatures.

Posted by InsectraA cute grey treefrog (Hyla versicolor) that I found in my birch tree, this afternoon. His camouflage was great and I only discovered him when I heard him calling.

Posted by InsectraSpring amphibian migration in Pennsylvania is well under way! Most of these are Jefferson's salamanders, one of our earliest moving amphibians and a species of special concern in Pennsylvania.
