OBT collection


I thought it was about time I posted some of mine
will add to this thread as soon as I get more pictures!!!

wow... you have a BEAUTIFUL collection. I'm jealous

Thankyou fdw, I am so pleased with them,
there are still loads more on my list, think I will be extending my shelves upwards
so I can fit lots more in

Glad to know im not the only one who has built shelves for her arachno-obsession!

Just plotting how many more I can fit in there lol,

seeing if the T's will accept a smaller tank so that I can get 2 tanks to a shelf hehe

how many T's do you have n how many are you planning on getting? btw my name is Frank

WOW!
i didnt realize you had such a large collection!

me too! LOL

my whole room is dedicated to my collection

Wow, very nice! Is that fat rosea the gravid one? My female might just be a bit bigger!



I wish I had me a spider room, I'd like part of my bedroom back lol. I'm getting ready to put up some shelf's as well.

I always thought your name was soo cool, don't know why

Nice collection! All my stuff is on a big table in one of our Reptile Rooms lol
Mine looks cool, but could be better and more organized.

Very nice! I like the square cube cages. My animal room set up could use some organizing like yours. Thanks for sharing with us!

thankyou all for you lovely comments

the collection was only supposed to be 1 tarantula,
and as I got more into it, I saw all the beautiful variations that could be bought,
and just couldnt resist, so my 1 tarantula turned into just over 100 now,
I am looking into pokies now, but will probably start with slings, and get used to them as they grow I have to admit, I tend to buy things as they come up, just recently bought a guys collection, which included a,brocklehursti, 2.OBTs, b.vagans, c.fasciatum, p.lugardi, a.francki, chaco gold knee, all for £100 they are all 4inch + in size so I was more than happy to take them off his hands

I am breeding now so that figure will change rapidly as you can imagine!!!

@ Bird Man yes that is my gravid rosie, that photo doesnt do her justice really,
she is struggling to get about now, I have just rehoused her into a bigger enclosure so she has more room, hopefully prompting her into laying!!!

@Revoltkid, like I said, 1 turned into 100+

@Frank, my list for new T's is endless lol, untill I have every spider on that list, I wont stop :p a monster in the making .....

@Matt, I have to keep it organized, I hate not being able to find everything or see everything

@Patrick, My partner makes all my enclosures, the little cube at the front of the OBT's was a special request, and he has just made me terrestrial ones the same size for my n.chromatus, one more molt and they will be rehoused


Perhaps we need to have our Enclosure/ spider room thread???

Haha a Pokie was like my 3rd Tarantula. I don't recommend that route.
I mean I'm good with them now, but I was forced to learn lol

Are they REALLY that fast?

Wow gorgeous collection:)
I can't wait to move out and get my own spider room [the boyfriend thinks it'll be a shared reptile room, but what he doesn't know can't hurt him ]

as you can see one of them didnt want to be rehoused...
