My tarantula has a dilemma, she can't seem to keep her date alive long enough until Feb.14 lol

Are you single? Then join her in her quest to find everlasting love!!

Advanced Happy Valentines Day to all!!

Or Happy Single Awareness Day / Happy Friendzone Day!

Me: Hm let's check out the forum this morning. Oh! A new thread in the off topic section. Let me see....

BAM! GIANT PICTURE OF TARANTULA!!

Me: OMG OMG SPIDER SPIDER! AAAAAAH!

Seeing that picture was totally unexpected, I must say. Spiders REALLY creep me out. Even so, I wish her luck in her romantic venture. *gulp*

*sees new thread by tongueflicker*

*clicks thinking it's about a lovebird or something*

*sees tarantula*

*joins Aether in screaming*

;w; I reeeeeeally didn't expect to see a tarantula first thing in the morning.

Have you been trying to breed her?

Btw, what breed is she? I'm terrified of spiders, but tarantulas are so fascinating. XD

Btw, just for fun, Aether, one of my old usernames was Aetherione. XD Like-minded I like to think. >w<

Beautiful OBT! Unfortunately the two I have are still juveniles.. Hehe.

Tell her not to feel too bad because this beauty is single, too:

Altearithe · 02-10-2014, 08:02 PM

Oh wow! That's one heck of a beauty! Just look at the coloration! O___O

Aether · 02-10-2014, 09:54 PM

Yes, that one is not as frightening. Possibly because I am now aware this is a spider thread, haha!! It reminds me of a Halloween spider. =]

Altearithe - Really?! That's pretty cool! I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the word aether in a screen name.

I guess that makes us pretty cool.

Altearithe · 02-10-2014, 10:23 PM

I agree with you there, Aether. Like a Halloween spider.

No need for dressing up!

Yep! It's a pretty rare word and most won't have it in their vernacular repertoire, so I'm not too surprised. XD I think this is the first time I've seen it used by someone other than me.
I think it definitely makes us cool.

That beautiful orange lady is an Orange Baboon Tarantula aka Orange Bitey Thing or OBT. Baboons do tend to look more menacing, IMO. They are a beautiful species and usually have lots of attitude/spunk. The ones we have are still pretty small.. I can't wait for them to be that big! I love most of the Baboon specimens..

The one I posted is a Mexican Fireleg.. one of my favorite brachypelmas!

I wish I had seen this before work! I would have snagged a pic of the rose hair we have at work. He is looking for company lol.

Tongue_Flicker · 02-11-2014, 12:36 AM

@aether & altearithe: glad i made your day LOL

@hlsiefken: right on!

I feel bad for female non-communal tarantulas now. They'll live for 20 years alone

They should make a club lol
