Spiders! Not a post about The Avengers*!

I recently got back into tarantula keeping, and I'm up to fifteen** of them. Most of them are juveniles, though I've got a nearly full-grown Aphonopelma chalcodes. And then there's three of my newer tarantulas: Hapalopus sp. 'Colombia' (commonly known as the "Pumpkin Patch", for obvious reasons), Cyriocosmus sellatus and Cyriocosmus bertae. All of these are dwarf species, topping out at a bit over two inches, though there's a form of the Hapalopus that goes to about 4". I believe all of these are full-grown.

I've sent these photos to my spider pushers at Arachnids RVA, so they may show up on their site as well.

*Which I saw for the fifth time on Monday... just sayin'. :-)
