Horacio Quiroga, an Uruguayan Poet
Today I learned something about Grammostola quirogai. Tarantupedia has a section on the etymology of name. Interestingly G. quirogai are named after Horacio Quiroga, an Uruguayan poet.

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (GBB) Out For A Stroll
Blue, my GBB, walked out the top of her enclosure last night when I was feeding her. I let her walk onto my hand. She walked around calmly for a bit, before having her walk back into her enclosure.

New Tarantula: Brachypelma hamorii
I got a new tarantula last night, off of Craig's List. Brachypelma hamorii. Beautiful 4" female. I was nervous about getting a spider from someone off of Craig's List, but she looks healthy, and transaction went smoothly.
She's looking good this morning. Even after the stressful, nearly two hour, car ride she still took a cricket this morning.
She's in an aquarium with reptibark, so I do need to re-house her as soon as possible. But, otherwise, shes great.
