I'm a bad mother

spiderwomanI really am a bad mother. I haven't even posted photos of the newest additions to the family, and they've been here for at least a month now. Shame on me! Not to mention updates on the other little babies.
First, I would like you all the meet Galen, my ball python.
He's a total sweetie, so gentle and curious, love him to bits. I got him at the Reptile Expo here in Ottawa on October 4th (I told you I was behind updating you guys) and I am so happy. I've wanted a ball python since I was about 12 years old. It only took like 8 years for it to happen but hey! Haha...
I totally fell in love with little crestie feet, like little suction cups! I have a feeling I'm going to wind up with quite a few of these little guys in the future.
So yeah, there's those two little dearhearts who've joined my extended animal family... and now on to some updates on the others! I'll start with Mr. Toady, who is a fat little rolly polly lady. He likes to tromp around in a sumo-wrestler pose, and I call him Sumo-Toad.
And then the tarantulas... I got two new tarantulas at the Reptile Expo in Montreal at the end of October. Both are quite well known as beautiful but aggressive spiders, and I can't wait until they get bigger! Haha... I don't have any good photos of them yet, just some out of focus, vague blurry ones, but I'll share them anyway.
And then yesterday my Nhandu coloratovillosus, named Nyx, molted too. I only noticed right before bed though so no photos of that either. Maybe by the weekend if I stop being a lazy bum. I'm expecting my girl Leona, another G. rosea to molt soon-ish too. She's been snubbing food for the past few weeks and she's got the look of it. If she does, I really hope I get to see it. If she hasn't molted by Christmas, I might just bring her with me to my parents, in case she does it during my Christmas vacation while I'm away haha... I would feel horrible to miss it. I've taken her on the trip before, and since I'll be taking the cat, gecko, snake and toad with me, adding a spider to that won't be much of an issue.
Anyhow, I have some stuff I should probably be doing right now heh...
Cheers!

Galen in his terrarium, slithering around.
Another family member I would like to introduce, is my crested gecko baby, Stickers.

Just look at those little feet!

Mr. Toady takes being plump to a whole new level.

My Pterinochilus murinus, aka Orange Baboon Spider, aka Orange Bitey Thing.
And my Poecilotheria rufilata, aka Redslate ornamental.
Thor, my Grammostola pulchripes molted last week, but I don't have any good photos of him yet. My red morph Grammostola rosea Dmitry molted too, and I do have a photo of him...
