New B.smithi!!!!

So i dunno how i did it, but i managed to convince the mother-figure to allow tarantulas. so not only is she ok with the rose-hair i already have, I was allowed to get this little bugger:









His name is Lamp. He's just an itty baby, and I look forward to watching him grow (even if i am IMPATIENT) lol.

I LOVE LAMP!

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom. – John Quincy Adams (1821)

B.Smithis are great! They're little flickers though.. or at least mine is. Pretty docile otherwise, though.

Beautiful little smithi. I currently have 2 and I know I'll get 1 or 2 more.
As for an OBT, they are very pretty, but fast and ouchy. They are better for the more experienced keepers.

I realize that mine are still slings, but so far they have been great. They have built nice little burrows and disappear into them when disturbed.Never shown a defensive display yet
