Green lightening and the rumps

I received some new lovelies from Kelly Swift (swiftinverts.com) in the mail a couple days ago, and they are all doing fine. I ended up getting a H.Incei 1",C.fasciatum .5"-ish, and C.Elegans .5".

The H.incei(Trinidad olive) are fast lil buggers, and this one only lives to break out of his container when I feed him his dinner. I always see him maneuvering himself toward where I'm opening his container so he can dart out. I think I'm going to get use the plastic bag trick here soon(oh the fun!). He has also started webbing his tunnels on the surface and caking the containers with his webbing. Overall,This is a very neat species all around.



My cyriocosmus fasciatum (costa rican tiger rump) was easy to rehouse into it's new home. This creature was very mellow with me, though a bit skittish when I toss in pre-killed pinhead crickets. I'm really glad I finally got me a dwarf tarantula!



and last but not least, my last addition is also a dwarf species from the same family cyriocosmus. The cyriocosmus elegans(Trinidad Dwarf tiger rump), I got a very skittish one . But, he seems to like it out in the open for me to look at him from time to time.


What's next on my list?
I might try acquire a centipede next. they look neat, but creepy with all those legs.
This one is Scolopendra polymorpha with 21 pairs of legs!!
