indeed!

Nice! This plants has been solid for me! Tons of leaf pulls and flowers. Keep up the good work. How's the leaf pulling doing?

Very nice. I have had 0 luck with this species. Out of 5 attempts, all ended in rot. However, my current one I received when it was the size of a penny, and so far it has at least tripled in size. Perhaps the secret is that I am exposing it to my conditions at a very young age? All my other pings are blooming like mad.

I took two.. and they seem to be doing ok I guess. They are somewhat dried out around the edges. But all in all looking good.

 

[Frilleon]

Nice! Did you take my advice and lay them down with a little LFS covering the point?

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

It's blooming? Dammit!

It's blooming? Dammit!

teehee.. sorry. But look at it this way, at least you'll have a gorgeous, breedable, female tarantula for the next 20 or so years. And if you successfully breed her you can buy 100 P.giganeteas.

I did..

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

Oh, yeah!

Yeah, she's a real beaut! Real FAST, too!

Fast indeed.. but I bet she hasn't given you one single threat display has she? Almost a bummer considering how pretty the colors are on her underside.

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

Oh, yes she did! Did it in a languid sort of way by leaning up against the glass, kinda like a kid leaning on a wall, giving you the finger as if he didn't have a care in the world, LOL!

This was right after dis-em-boxing.

lol..
