Shameless Pet Photos- spiders

I have mostly restrained myself to putting photos on this site relevant to my graduate studies. However, I am making an exception today because I think everyone should get to see some adorable spiders.

 

These are my two pets- Jayne and Shelob. Jayne is Curlyhair tarantula sling whose parent is based on Ohio State’s Wooster campus. Shelob is a jumping spider rescue- from the bathroom of Howlett hall this Halloween. They are both probably sick of me watching them and trying to give them cage decorations, but its so hard not to spoil your first children.

 To the Left- a size comparison of Jayne next to my pinky nail. They like climbing a lot, and have dug a beautiful burrow.

To the right- Shelob when I found them in Howlett hall. If you know spiders you will understand how I felt when I saw their abdomen and knew that I had extra fruit flies at home (Jayne can only eat so many at a time).
