I've posted some pics of my "Pets" , the Huntsman is all attitude , I call her Dirty Harriet . The Nephila is from Bendigo and is about 35mm across the legs . The Black House Spider is an old favourite of mine , I've had them as pets in the past for years , they love toilet rolls for making webs in . The Tunnel Web is going well and has dug a burrow about 200 mm so far , it's loving the soft soil. My collection of pets wouldn't be complete without a Red Back , i love them . Very easy to feed and i find them quite calm after a while . Just got to remove the odd egg sac that turns up .
I've posted a couple of photos of Dirty Harriet eating a Darkling Beetle followed by the empty shell after she sucked it's insides out . I was a tad nervous getting it out that's for sure .
I got a good shot of Charlotte ( My Red Back ) with a blowfly today and another of my Tunnel Web at it's entrance , getting up before 5 am has it's perks , nocturnal stuff is still out and about .
Feeding time , White Butterfly was on the menu , before , during and after shots .
Looks like butterfly is back on the menu ..... Dirty Harriet with her 2nd in 15 minutes
