Today I finally managed to finish the recent exam period - with a moderate success (I can't remember if there has ever been a semester I didn't got flanked in anything). So from now on, I'll probably be less stressed, and update more often.

On Sunday (4th January), my Tapinauchenius elenae finally laid a cocoon! Now it has to have peace and calmness and no disturbance for a month, and we'll see how many little spiders emerge. If it does not go to waste, than it already seems like that I'm gonna be able to make very good money with them. Well, it's about time anyway - last week I've ( Read more... )

After a quite extensive winter holiday at both of our families, we are back to Budapest, and wish everybody a Happy New Year!
Although I'd like to make a list of all the happenings, feelings and the lovely presents I got for Christmas, I'll have to find another time to do that, 'coz it's gonna be a lengthy post...

Yesterday Damage, Andersen Dávid and Balee came over to drop the Bombs - Naga Sabi Bomb, that is, the devilish creation of Daniel Cash.

I'm through with my first tarantula breeding!

Yesterday, after two weeks of planning and feeding the spider, Dávid came over and brought a male Tapinauchenius elenae with him (that's the orange tree spider). I was very excited, mostly because of two things - first, I've never seen a tarantula breeding before, let alone my own one; second, if the ( Read more... )

About a week ago, we finally received our money for the translation - well, at least the greater part of it. On the very day, we decided to check out the newly opened Culinaris next to Jászai Mari square; a rare commodity for us, and a real feast every time.

We haven't been in the Óbuda shop yet, but this place is HUGE! And well-equipped, too. So ( Read more... )

I'm incredibly sad, because my Parabuthus transvaalicus scorpion (the black/brown spitting thicktail) went down today, and it was partially my fault.

Yesterday I managed to find a way to create a better substrate for the Androctonus, and as long as I was at it, I decided to swap the two scorps in their tanks. So I dug up the transie from its ( Read more... )

Last Saturday's Terraristics Fair was a very-very good one, indeed.
