since there was some recent posting of spiders, i thought i would post a pic of my A. versicolor. My roommates moved back in and the one has a much nicer camera than mine. So here is a picture of the guy.
what do the "spider experts" think of its abdomen? I think it is a little small. I am going to increase his prey size or feed multiple prey.

Yes, he should have it all wrapped up before they hit Phillip Island in October. He's done a fantastic job keeping ahead of Rossi. I know the Ducatti's a package and a half, but still, to beat Rossi is like beating Schumacher or Senna. You wouldn't know it to look at him, but. He looks about 10 years old!
I'm more into cars, but was a huge fan of Wayne Gardner when I was a kid. Most kids used to have posters of popstars on their walls, but I used to have people like Gardner, Steve Waugh, Viv Richards, Craig Johnstone (...starting to show my age here

yay for spider pics!!!
The versi abdomen looks fine. Based on the coloring, your versi isn't an adult yet and is still working on getting the prey to grow bigger. The abdomen growth will come later.
My versi just molted into a mature female. I'm currently looking for a boyfriend for her. (I have never tried to breed spiders before so I'm more than a little nervous)
I have 3 suntigers now! They are so cute. I was changing their cages the other day and one jumped out and ran for cover. It took me forever to figure out what fold of my jeans he had taken refuge in. I'm up to 37 Ts, 11 true spiders and a black widow eggsac! I love spiders!

Those cresties are really cute! How easy is it to care for them/what kind of temps and size cage do they need? I hear that they are quite "handleable" and easy to tame for geckos, and I just love their little goofy grins! (my skunk gecko Tiny Dragon is a wild little bugger, but he's so cute! I love the way geckos run!)

Thanks guys.
Saille-Cresties are by far the easiest lizard to keep, IMO. They just require room temperature, 70-78 degrees, misting 2 times a day (morning and night), and all you have to feed them is a powder you mix with water. It is complete and do not need to supplement with anything. They have a great temperament. As far as holding, they dont like to sit in one place for too long, but still not bad to handle. I highly recommend them.
