Yep, they are local spiders, can find them in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Burma. I think in more hilly regions and for Thailand I think this species comes from the North and North West of the country. No idea why they have this specific colour, but it is lovely.

Feeding crickets at the moment but need to chuck in a mouse for it soon. Been looking for a local mouse supplier today but everywhere seems to only sell russian hamsters and what not which is a bit of a waste considering it's not going to last 5 minutes in the tank. Probably gonna film it for youtube anyway so you can all enjoy.

Chonabot over at TV breeds this species, or at least is trying to at the moment. Here's a pic of one of his even bluer tarantulas, from S.America I think.

Amazing colour; almost looks like it's been dyed. Are they the same size as normal tarantulas?

bkkmadness · 21-09-2007, 09:46 PM

The one I have is a full grown female, about 5-6 inches across from foot to foot. That's about as big as Asian tarantulas get.

My nice Thai guppies, although there used to be hundreds in here, assume there must be some nasty poisonous animal eating them

^^ Richard are those both juvenile oranda?

The yellow/white fish certainly is, not sure about the second one though.

I used to breed those for a hobby.

I have seven dogs. But five of them arrived on Tuesday.

My yellow lab got knocked up by the neighbor's black lab when she was only 17 (months). It was 'orrible as neither of them had a job or finished school. The father never came around to check on her during pregnancy either, just sad. And what's worse, all the little Negro pups look just like the father. My wife is beside herself. As every puppy was born, she prayed for a Whitey. It wasn't to be. Each as black as the night.

As you can see, my wife and I have given to drinking heavily. Our loss, Leo Breweries' gain. Oh, the sorrow.

It's been a week now and they should open their eyes soon.

My wife wonders if they'll think they've been adopted. I assured her that of course, they'll know and probably will not even thank us or their mother for the generosity and welfare we've provided. My missus is just beside herself.

If there's any silver lining to be found, it's with the five wonderful homes we've found for the little dark bastards. A splendid array of alcoholics, paupers, borderline criminals and restaurants. (Only joking)

But our goodbyes shall wait another month. Until then you will unfortunately suffer my prolonged presence on TD as the 'puter is upstairs and the yelping pups are downstairs.

Just found these photos. Many were ruined in a flood here in Vancouver where I left them, but managed to salvage a few.

jizzybloke · 17-10-2007, 05:31 AM

Come on DD, update?

dirtydog · 17-10-2007, 08:10 PM

Okay here we got minnie again, sadly she is turning more into her Chinese father, ie long a nd squat and puggish, she is a lot more outgoing than her ugly squat hairy father, and also a lot more independent, ie she will just go off and sleep away from the other dogs as her mother does when she is bored shitless of poxy toy dogs, but she aint ever gonna look like a proper rottweiller

Her fur is nice and short so she aint gonna look like the Chinese git that raped her mother.

She is getting to be quite a big bugger though.

Clockwork Orange · 17-10-2007, 08:37 PM

She's no Rottie, for sure. Will she grow to the same size?

dirtydog · 17-10-2007, 08:56 PM

Naaa, I don't think so, she was the runt of the litter anyway, I don't really like small dogs, shame now my girlfriend has decided it is my main dog reincarnated, cant get rid of the bugger so easily now, well, to put it more honestly she would rather hack off my balls with the blunt end of a hacksaw blade than get rid of this dog, where's that thread in where do you come in line with love from your girlfriend/wife, I just went down another notch

jizzybloke · 18-10-2007, 12:22 AM

How could you want to get rid of that?
You heartless git DD!

dirtydog · 18-10-2007, 01:18 AM

I really don't like small yappy dogs, ok she aint gonna be yappy but she will still just be a small dog, only use for them I can think of is strollers BBQ, hey stroller, the bones are all still nice and soft if your interested
