@Kwikvette looks like you're taking good care of the lil one. Did u get a female?

 

you finally got it

 

I hope so.

Even though it's far from a sling, it still hasn't matured so it couldn't be sexed.

At just a hair over 4" (rear legs aren't stretched) yet it's still a baby



Maybe when it molts I'll find out? I chime in with the experts in another thread.

I did, yesterday.

Dude I was like a kid at a candy store at the pet shop yesterday. They have a ton of exotic animals including huge fucking monitors (asking $5.5k for it lol), a ton of spiders, snakes, etc.

Unfortunately, they didn't have a Western Hognose as I've been wanting another one for awhile now.

 

What's the average size those get to? Cool looking that's for sure

 

So, they're the 3rd largest tarantula's in the world....

I'm pretty sure only in the wild have they really gotten up to their 11" or so in size. Males of course being smaller.

They had an adult male at the shop and that thing was only 2 years old or so they said? It was a good +6"...

I asked the cute girl helping me "how long until the juvenile gets to that size" and she said in about a year and a half or so.

 

Speaking of cars (or trucks) without a frame, or that are unibody, I saw somewhere that Cybertruck was unibody. Not body on frame construction. I was like wuuuuuuut???? So I had to do a little digging on the how, what, where, why to that. And that's where it's body shape comes into play as well.
It had to be unibody to have somewhere to keep the massive battery packs covered, sealed, controlled, protected, whatever, and that's obviously under the floor. Being unibody means that by nature it is far less heavy duty. So the funny triangle shape is about making it strong enough to not torque and twist and deform through use. The body panels have pretty extreme reinforcements, as there is no frame to handle the strain from the massive torque and weight. Made a lot more sense as to the why it was developed with that shape. So it's like a super heavy duty unibodied Honda Ridgeline basically
Anywho just sharing what I read about what is prolly the world's heaviest duty 'unibody' truck lol

 

Thinking about applying podiatry this next app cycle along with my med school apps as a back up. Not trynna sit around for another year fumbling with low pay jobs lol

 

Imma be the first person to go into federal witness protection over threat of spider exposure

 

Yep, logically we knew there had to be a reason for the shape. I mean I don't care about anyone's opinion on the looks of it. I was dying to know WHY they shaped it like that. Also I'm sure body panels with less lines and less folds and less roundness are cheaper to produce, it has to help keep entry price point as low as possible.
But yeah definitely very very uhhhhh unique

 

I don't know, sounds like it's been pretty fun /s

 

Is this before or after LT Moab meet

 

I'll be there incognito

 

Currently? no, I'm a medical scribe for a primary care doctor.

If I was a physical therapist I'd be making some good money rn haha

 

Lol I got called into a buyer meeting by the higher ups because the wholesale buyer from Nordstrom's wanted to know if her mechanic was overcharging her for a timing belt job

 

It's a Landcruiser disguised as a Pickup with the heart of a Chevy

 

Classy

 

Yeah that one is pretty trashy

 

Would look good with matching mudflaps

 

Don't forget the angel/devil girl decals on the back window
