Hey there! Pardon me for lurking in old threads, and please excuse any formatting errors as this is actually my first time posting! I believe you have a Bumba horrida here rather than an H. longipes. From what I’ve seen longipes has the pinkish coloration extending onto their legs, where horrida does not.
Don’t ever apologize for checking out ANY of these threads and welcome to the forum! We are so glad to have you anytime!

Yes I remember now and you are exactly right! And btw yours t is really nice! Happy New Year to you and come back! If you have anything to post or any other pictures don’t hesitate to just jump right in! The people here are great and very supportive with advice/help for just about any question you have! 
So i decided that i want a trio of blue death feigning beetles while i was at a local exotics shop soooo… i bought one more. The other two are gonna get here with the tarantulas on the 16th so he’ll have friends soon. He’s very black right now but he should turn back to blue soon.
Well because of the weather they aren’t coming until the week of the 22nd so still some more waiting 
They’re here!
Grammostola pulchra
Caribena versicolor
And the two more blue death feigning beetles
Little update: The pulchra has already taken a meal! The versicolor has food in with it but doesn’t seem interested so we’ll see if it ends up taking it.
That’s so awesome, congrats!!! Great choice of species too.
Yes!!! I love these beautiful things!
Well, went to a local mantis shop just to “check it out and not buy anything.” I’m sure you guys can guess how that went 
. Here’s my new additions!
Giant Asian Mantis (Hierodula membranacea)
Spiny Flower Mantis (Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii)
Those are just super cool!
And you have a local mantis shop!!
I know right!!! That is what I was thinking!!! I want one of those near me!
Not sure if I ever showed the cool little enclosure I found on Etsy for a sling enclosure. As you can see, I have my little H. pulchripes in here. That little blue lid is great. She (hopefully) has webbed up to the vent so it keeps me from ripping the web away. Couldn’t get a good picture of her but the webbing says, to me, that it’s happy.
That’s so cool David! I need to check those out!
Well it wasn’t Etsy it was Amazon.
Ok thank you so much David!
Picked up a few new inverts in Sacramento this weekend. Got an Assassin bug (Horrid King) colony starter, 0.0.2 B. albiceps juvenile and spiderling 0.0.1 A. Purpurea sling 0.0.1 G. pulcher sling and the weekend before in Portland a friend gave me a C. versacolor sling.
Those are all awesome. I have been wanting one of those horrid colonies for awhile.
So do I but they are kind of infamous lol
The wife and I were both bitten one night in bed by the American version of those. Excruciatingly painful! One of the few times my wife has just cussed and cussed at something!
The horrid kings are pretty placid. As long as you don’t startle or annoy them you can handle them pretty easily.
I have to admit, the name REAAALLLY suggests the opposite here
