I've always fancied a scorp or two, and a black light. I just don't get around to it...... LOL
Perhaps a scorp thread for some inspiration is needed........

It's Jager time!
That brachy is a red rump methinks lassie. Supernova looked EXACTLY like that at what I assume to be the same size/stage. The blue tinge in the legs and pink carapace and of course fluffy red bum are very consistent with B vegans.

The brachy is supposed to be a Brachypelma sabulosum which is really close to a B. vegans. There is a problem in the states with the "vegan" complex of brachy's and its suspected that none are actually pure.
I do know mine isn't a vegans but its possible its a cross. I got them (I have 2) from a reputable dealer but he didn't produce them.
Hopefully I'll know more once they are adults.

Good luck with the little ones! I'm too scared to get them that small. I'm not sure what color of a thumb people who raise tarantulas have, all I know is mine is not that color. :awcrap:
I'm fascinated with your collection, thanks for sharing the pictures! What kind of set ups do you have them in? I think that was where my thinking errors occurred when I tried to raise my poor little A. Versi. My set up was pretty but had too much ventilation.

Now that I think about it, it very well could be a sabulosum as well. I don't know why I didn't think about it. I had a male a few years back, but he was more of my brother's pet than anything and I was just caring for him. Sabulosums, vagans, epicureanums, and albopilosum are so closely related that its almost impossible to tell sometimes.
Here is a pic of my the above mentioned sabulosum for reference and comparison.

That is a beautiful sabo, I really hope thats what mine end up being as I really love the black coloring.
I keep my T's in very simple set up's. Most are in kritter keepers with peat moss substrate, a simple hide and a water dish. All the grammys and brachy are kept bone dry. The really tiny guys are in plastic baby food jars with a fake leaf for a hide, they get fed once a week and a small spot of substrate is misted then too.
For my arboreals I use a square gallon jar from walmart, add a vertical piece of bark and hot glue a small water dish up high. I also use eco earth as a substrate since it doesn't mold like peat does.
My avi slings are kept in smaller contains like peanut butter jars or beanie baby display cubes from Michaels. I use a drill and put a ton of holes in whatever container I use. With avics I mist at least every other day and always keep the substrate damp.
You can also tip a large KK on end for the arboreals but I really do like the one gallon jars better except for my pokie, I'm putting her into a 10 gallon display tank tipped on end.
My Goliath is kept a bit different though since its a high humidity species. She is on vermiculite that is kept very moist, with a large hide and large water dish. I use press and seal to reduce ventilation and spray her enclosure once a week. I suppose this summer will be harder to maintain the higher humidity but I'll figure something out.

Those pictures are pretty sick!
If I didnt have an aversion to our 8-legged friends, I'd be on the T-train, too.
