Man, I don't know what to say, they rock, that is one awesome set of pictures!! Thanks for sharing!!

 

[ChristopherDayton]

you are very welcome!! I have some better pics of them but I figured a quick run through most of them would be best lol lots of pics to go through I will post other frogs and such later

 

[shiftylarry]

Wow that's a ton of stuff! I am out of my element here, but very impressed.

 

[ZEKE]

woah. what happens if one of those tiny spiders gets out?

i love the pic of the scorpion with the one little baby on its back. its cute.

are any of those scorpions or spiders deadly if they sting/bite you?

have you ever been stung by a scorpion?

awesome collection you have. i wana see some frogs i like reptiles and amphibians more than bugs.

 

[ChristopherDayton]

L.q.hebraeus is the Deathstalker scorpion.. so yeah its got the most toxic venom of all scorpions.. the Parabuthus liosoma and transvaalicus are also dangerous. no I have never been stung or bitten.. I think you have to really get careless and go out of your way to get tagged by a tarantula or scorpion. glad you enjoyed the pics I will get to the frogs tonight.

L.q.hebraeus is the Deathstalker scorpion

What is this starwars?

 

[shiftylarry]

This reminds me of last saturday at work. I had to get a Vietnamese centipede out for a customer. It was a good 8 in and I had to shove it in this teeny little plastic cup. I could see the venom dripping off its fangs after I'd riled it up a bit. It was one of the most frightening experiences of my life.

 

[ChristopherDayton]

yeah ! you should see the aerial battles they have.. 'pew pew pew' all the time. and the glow in the blacklight so its that much more fun!! and was there a Deathstalker in Star Wars?? thought it was only the Death Star.. :shock:

 

[DZLife]

WOW, what a collection! How many in total?

 

[ApriliaRufo]

That is a VERY impressive collection. You must buy 10 gals by the hundred at your local store. LOL.

 

[CaseyUndead]

That's really cool! I especially like the Greenbottle Blue and Sapphire Ornamental.... Something about those colorful ones always really impresses me.

I love Ts

 

[gebris353]

Wow, the colors they have are just awesome, I didnt even know they could be so beautiful. Congratz man, you have a huge collection. Of course I preffer to hug a lizard but that doesnt mean they arent great. Btw, can you tell me the name of this arachnid I once had in my hand? I was told she was mexican and not so toxic and she seems similar to your B.smithi, but I'm not sure:

 

[ColdThirst]

I think its called a mexican red knee, but man those Cobalts are beautiful! And I would not keep that baboon, i've heard way too many crazy stories about those, I want a mexican red knee but their price has sky rocketed in the last few years, And I really wanted a cobalt, but they say their not too friendly to hold all the time. AND how is that emperor a blue green color? Thats cool too

 

[PuffDragon]

Damn, your crazy. hehehee

 

[Mike]

Wow, thanks for those pics! I'm glad to see someone else on the forum that keeps arachnids.

 

[ChristopherDayton]

haha yes Fabian it is a B.smithi "mexican redknee" you are holding in the pic. and yes Im a bit insane.. but I still want a big fat lizard to hang out with!!

 

[hoosier]

AND how is that emperor a blue green color? Thats cool too

Black light :roon

 

[gebris353]

Thanks for the info, at least I know what I was helding xD. Btw my mom almost died when I showed her these pics lol, but then she was so curious that she had to watch them. She says your are crazy too, but she retracted after I reminded her she was recorded feeding Juancho with a fork haha. :-D

 

[nat]

awesome pics! I am sure you could recommend a good arachnid dealer to me for my next pet ha ha. I had the rose hair and the red knees for a little while. I want an usumbara at some point... I know nothing too fancy but an arachnid none the less you have an amazing collection
