Lol too funny! Deac, has Ur versi made a web yet? Ive had my Purpurea now for almost a week.and she hasn't made her web or ate yet : / imhoping she's molting, but all she does is sit up in the corner. When I mist her I see her drink so that's good, I'm just hoping she's being normal lol

I don't think my slings were ever that small. I have a G. rosae named Aragog, B. albopilosum named Fluffy, and a L. parahybana named Nibbles. Yours are pretty cute!

Haha...charlotte is right up there with shelob :) I have/had ( can't find her) a huge gray spider living outside my window on my porch...I named her "natalie "... when I watched her spin and eat the name just popped into my head randomly. As for the tarantula, I'm having to think about it, however "cricket " keeps popping into my head. It's weird but I think if you look at an animal and just kind of say the names the 'right one ' will just feel right :)

When I looked at the first pic the name "tansy " came to mind. Also "solstice ". Hmmmm I know it's odd but that's what I do. Just look and speak and do it until one feels right :)

Well she's either molting or dead........ Hoping the first one, which would explain the not eating and not webbing. Well see, how long does it take to tell if they are molting or not : /

Probably molting. BTW, I wouldn't google anything Dubya sends your way, lol. He's our resident class clown.

I name my critters after book or movie characters, or by their "type". Fluffy is the curlyhair, and is pretty darn hairy. Nibbles is for my birdeater that has a medically significant bite due to the fang size. I like the irony of the name, lol.

Purple in Spanish is Morado, or there's violet.
