Brachypelma smithi.April 2012.
Renton Reptile Expo.
No definite name yet, Jillian called her “Sweet Pea” from time to time. This Smithi is much more calm and shy than, say, Tempus, who lights a fire under your ass, and has a disposition that parallels that of a Boehmei. This girl is a hand-holder, who will wrap her legs around you.

Spitfire.April 2012.
Renton Reptile Expo.
Finally, after waiting for five months, I got to take Spitfire home with me, along with the Smithi that Jill also got for me. Both of them are MONSTERS — in size, not in temperament. They are huge and hulking.
Solis has a home with Jill now.

Panther Chameleon - $200.April 2012.
Renton Reptile Expo.
A mixed chameleon, 3/4 Ambanja, 1/8 Nosy Be, 1/8 Blue Bar Ambilobe. In January, I had decided that what I wanted for my birthday, was to go to the Renton expo. What I wanted, was an Ambilobe Panther Chameleon. This guy may not be the little Ambilobe I had in mind, but I cannot communicate how much better he is. I hadn’t even considered an Ambanja before, and I would love to breed him with a Nosy Be and a Blue or Red Bar Ambilobe in the future. He’s also immensely larger than I thought that I would get! So breeding him is rather a realistic possibility! So I don’t mind at all that he was $200, the tiny juvenile Ambilobes at the Portland expo were $200, and this guy offered much more for me. He reminds me of toothpaste, personally, so I call him Orajel, Aquafresh, and Shane calls him Colgate. All in light fun until he gets a proper name. He has such fun tropical and aquatic colors as he changes though, which remind me of toothpaste, and his white markings look like he dribbled it all over his mouth and down his body — like I know plenty of us do when we brush our teeth.

Deleted over half of my blogs.

My only blogs now are this blog, and my secondary blog for the rest of my animals. I deleted I Prefer My Girls With Eight Legs, due to lack of updating and because my personal blogs already need care and tending, and The Loverin Mousery, due to unfortunate events and the mousery needing to be redone.

I will be making another blog sometime soon, which will be more of a personal blog for me, and consist of videos and writing mostly, and some pictures in my life. I don’t want to overwhelm myself with pictures blogs though, which become difficult for me when I can’t always take pictures.

Absolutely gorgeous after his last molt, where he went from a solid brown, to full color and markings.

Inspecting Deumore.April 2012.
I honestly cannot communicate to you how much I love that lamp. I drooled over it for at least a couple months, multiple times a week, every time that I visited the store, before I got it on my birthday last year. It’s a sunlight magnifying lamp, and it’s incredible for inspecting tarantulas and molts, or any other creature that I have. Or pulling splinters, or looking at anything in bright and close light. I love it. So much.
I am still not certain whether Deumore is mature or not, and turned to the Arachnoboards for some input on it. I don’t know whether I will be keeping Deumore or not if he is already mature. I do not have a female available for him, and I do not know if I could get ahold of one in a timely enough manner, when I could sell him at his peak right now. He is my most difficult to decide over, because I do intend to breed A. versicolor, so I would just be forced to get a whole new male as well as a female in the future.

Deumore, after a molt.March 2012.
Deumore MIGHT be a mature male now, I can’t quite tell when I try and look.Maybe a penultimate male, if not mature.
