• Inspiration

    (original post from 19th January, 2012) Making terrariums, I have always tried to imitate natural environment. Sometimes I use inorganic materials and it looks...as it looks. But it has never come to my mind to imitate nature using...books! A guy named...errrr...Guy Laramee creates very naturally...
  • True spider stuff

    One of the Ischnothele caudata has eaten the other one and is happy to have the whole home for himself. His web is all over the box. Jeden z moich Ischnothele caudata zjadł drugiego i się cieszy, że ma cały domek dla siebie. Całe pudełko jest wypełnione jego siecią. All of my Eresus...
  • Like a surgeon

    Yesterday's evening reminds me of this song :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=notKtAgfwDA Why? I decided to open the eggsac that one of my Fishing spiders had laid a week ago. I wanted the female to take care of the sac, but as she kept it in water, it was too much of a risk. After a week...
  • Project Terrarium 2014 -Day 2, 3, 4-

    On the second day, before even starting the real thing, I had to improve the electricity. There's not much to say here. I just wanted to have one fluorescent lamp and one bulb in each tank. Additionally, I've decided to install electronic ballasts that prevent fluorescent lamps from blinking,...
  • Easter job

    Maybe this weekend wasn't the best, but at least I had some time. And I used this time well-I put all my cacti outside. The weather is still doubtful (it even snows from time to time), but the temperature seems quite okay, I guess. This winter I lost only 2 cacti, which is not bad. I usually have...

Another parcel from Germany

1

Yeah, I received another parcel from Germany. This time the spiders are from Jorg Bernhardt  http://www.schaben-spinnen.de/Content/content.php?cont=willkommen . I bought some of the most beautiful spiders in the world and I'm so excited! Everything was very well packed and I received the parcel quickly. What's more, I got a bonus <3 So I'll start with the bonus:
Dziś dostałam kolejną paczkę z Niemiec. Tym razem pajączki są od Jorga Bernhardta http://www.schaben-spinnen.de/Content/content.php?cont=willkommen  .Kupiłam jedne z najpiękniejszych pająków świata i jestem bardzo podekscytowana! Wszystko było pięknie zapakowane i otrzymałam paczuszkę szybko. Co więcej, dostałam gratis <3 Zacznę od tego gratisu:

Ischnothele caudata x 2
They are still very small. I've decided to keep them together in a bigger container. These little rascals are very gluttonous :)
Są nadal malusieńkie. Zdecydowałam się trzymać je razem w odpowiednio większym pojemniku. Te małe łobuzy są bardzo żarłoczne :)

My main purchase was Heteropoda lunula x 3. As I'm a big fan of H. davidbowie, I HAD to buy this species sooner or later.
Moim głównym zakupem była Heteropoda lunula x3. Jestem wielką fanką H. davidbowie, więc MUSIAŁAM kupić ten gatunek wcześniej czy później.
Only one allowed me to take a photo, the rest were very nervous and tired after the long journey. The colours will be getting more and more superb.
Tylko jedna dała mi się sfotografować, reszta była bardzo zdenerwowana i zmęczona po długiej podróży. Kolorki będą się zmieniać na coraz piękniejsze.

And here's the most important purchase-a spider I have always wanted to own, but had no luck keeping them alive. So far I've bought 8 spiderlings of this species, but it was almost impossible to keep them alive-they died because of very stupid reasons-like humidity condensed on a wall of the container. This time I bought two big ones and I'll do everything to have them as they are. So now look at them...and fall in love:
A tu największy skarb-pajączek, którego zawsze wręcz pożądałam, ale nigdy nie mogłam utrzymać przy życiu. Do tej pory miałam już 8 maluszków tego gatunku i niemożliwym było ich utrzymanie przy życiu-ginęły z bardzo głupich powodów-jak np. skondensowana para na ściance. Tym razem kupiłam dwa duże i zrobię wszystko, żeby przeżyły. A teraz patrzcie...i zakochujcie się:
The orange one is female and the black one is a male :)
Pomarańczowy to samica, a czarny to samiec :)
