Well if you are ever spider shopping and come across the flame knee for a crazy price let me know. I was able to find a few sites with them in stock, but they want $109.99 for one, and I'm not spending that much on a spider.. If that one site still had them for $40 that'd be a done deal, but even on the pricing guide I checked out earlier they were listed over $100. I want a large terrium for it to and I'll have to buy all the stuff for that. ..

If I do get a tarrantula I know I'm going to be nervous to handle it. I think I have PTSD from that black widow bite. I was free handling females a few hours before that happened no prob though.. I only got bit when I flipped an ATV into one of their nests so.. I get jumpy and nervous sometimes even have some weird flashback shit when seeing them.handling a big ass tarantula might help me get passed that. I still might freak if it tries to bolt.

You ever got bitten by that metallica?

hmm. dig the name.

That's a versicolor in your display pic right? That would be cool to have to, but I'm just looking to get one spider. >_>

They got the smithi really cheap.. $30 bucks, but I want the auratum because it's prettier. So many pretty spiders though. How am I supposed to choose? I JUST WANTED ONE.

That's why I included the scientific name Brachypelma Auratum Also why are females so expensive.. look at this. 3 seperate prices for a Brachypelma Smithi Really wish they wernt sold out on that red one I want. I have a feeling that's the lowest price I'm gonna find on it.

You're not talking to me are you?

No.. I could have swore I read the name on the tank and it said blood something taratula... because the red on it was a scarlet color.. it seemed like it only had it on it's front legs or just in little patches. Anyway right now I'm just looking for that mexican flame knee (Brachypelma auratum)..not to be confused with the mexican red knee (Brachypelma Smithi).. Up until 1992 the flame knee wasnt even a species it was lumped in with the red knee So maybe that was the spider I saw anyway. Makes since it would be on display if it was a more recent discovery. Everywhere I look flame knees either arent sold.. or are sold out though.. $40 dollars is the lowest I've found.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a flame knee.. I'm not even sure if it was the one I was initially looking for. I remember seeing a beautiful tarrantula on exhibit at a science museum here and it had blood red spots. That was the closest thing I could find to it. I found one website selling them for $40, but it said sold out. I know the mexican red knee is a very popular pet store spider, but even though they look quite simular this ones hard to find. Any ideas? I'm going to wait till I have a little more extra money to get the terrium set up properly anyway, but I've never bought a spider..

YEah I was going to say I thought it looked pregnant.. but if so it's still going to get A LOT bigger. My friends older brother ended up catching a pregnant southern black widow and bringing it inside to taunt me with it was vicious and attacked anything that got close to it. >_>

Maybe I'll get a tarrantula and throw some vids up.. Personally I've always wanted one of these.

What you're not gonna free handle it? I couldn't see an hourglass but that looks too fat to be male.

Yeah..but I grew up spending my summers in a place were I'M SO LUCKY I never got stung by that taurantula hawk.. it wasn't until after my army years that I learned that thing that used to chase me half a mile every time I accidentally got too close was ranked number 2 on the insect sting pain index... I only ran so fast as a little kid because the sound of those wings when they get close isn't much different then what you hear when that thing tried to fly off in the glass...TERRIFING Anyway did you even watch the vid? Steve Crocel..wrong spelling on the last name prolly.. just TRAINED that guy all you kids today think is crazy to hang with a wolverine. Watch that vid plz it's one of Brave Wilderness best and hard to get videos.

Theres a wildlife expert that probably never wears shoes.

I need to download this one wtf test it on your good speakers//

Note to self, get this track done.

Post more Mochi happy birthday!! If I don't post anything to your threads it's not cuz your gay. I just don't know what to say. >

i only say this because I wanna open up anotha.

at this point.. I got the verse right last time, but I went to monotoned. 0_0

I need to calm down bro.. I'm all hopped up on rap again.

nevermind still not good enough.

You sure the placebo effect didn't get you.. That shit was probably just some crushed up pixie stick some pothead left as a joke...Sounds like something I'd do anyway..

I feel about like Les Claypool from Primus about weekends right now.. Even though I'm supposed to get a call from that trainer dude "any moment now.. " I'm going to have to call corporate before that happens watch.. no worries.. I always have a plan.. still. "Funny thing about weekends when you're unemployed..They don't mean..quite so much."
