Rosa could probably eat Ringo.

Heh.

The Whitebanded Tarantula (Acanthoscurria geniculata), is a species of tarantula native to forests of Brazil. It is commonly referred to as the whiteknee tarantula, giant whiteknee tarantula, giant white knee tarantula or Brazilian giant whiteknee tarantula as a homage to its brilliant black and white banded legs. This is a medium-large species, fast growing and taking up to 3-4 years to reach a mature legspan of 8.5 inches for females, slightly less for males.
It is a very fast-growing spider, and due to this, very hungry and greedy.
Although it can burrow, it often shows itself, and occasionally will climb up the walls of an enclosure in captivity.
A terrarium needs to be big, and wider than it is high (Minimum: 30 cm high, 40 cm wide, 40 cm long). A special substrate, or a mixture of clay, earth, and sand may be filled to several inches high so that the spider can make tunnels although it likely will not do so. A place to hide should be offered, for example a piece of wood. A bowl with water needs to be supplied. No hard or pointy objects should be placed next to the wall since the spider is an insecure climber and may fall. Should a whiteknee fall on a hard object, its abdomen may split open, which in most cases will lead to the spider's death. If found, a small wound can be treated with talcum powder to aid the clotting process or treated with a liquid bandage or superglue.
Whitebanded tarantulas have been much prized as pets, due to their size, hardiness, and striking coloration. They are moderately defensive, and their urticating hairs can be quite irritating to human skin. These spiders, like many un-domesticated pets, can bite when provoked. Fortunately because they have urticating hairs, biting is typically not their first line of defense. Their venom is not considered medically significant, but due to their large size the puncture damage can be extensive.

New kittens!

Was an absolute pleasure to meet Watson on a visit to pick something up from BRP last week. He is a total don and does seem to have a thing for licking legs. Even had a good old chew of my shorts for good measure. Great pup! Damn nearly kidnapped him.

ON the blanket James, not under the blanket

Watson needs BRP collar, lead and panniers.

^^ There appears to be competition with bubble wrap for the place on the blanket, besides, it is of course, cosier under there.

dogs love long grass and games of fetch....
currently on the find game- Rudy here follows directions to rough areas to sniff the ball out.

´deal with it´

Rosa's shedded skin

Olivia - the trouser snake

bikedestroyer - got the same hoody from yonks back, looks like yours has the same problem. the left & right sleeve have different sized cuff's. Annoys me so much I only ever resort to wearing when the rest of cloths are dirty.

Lola's ass.

That's actually my wife, but she is wearing my hoody, but I haven't noticed any difference with the cuffs. I'd rather be ignorant and continue to wear it blissfully (even though It's left at the in-laws as a spare when I stay over!).

^^ The spider skin is massively creepy...

My dog Slug:

I moved to London a year ago and left him behind in NZ with my olds. Plan is to bring him over to London as soon as I know whether I can extend my visa or not (early next year). I miss him like crazy, as you can probably tell...

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is issuing an urgent appeal to all cat lovers to consider giving a home to an unwanted cat.
