I decided to hang out with my buddy, Ricky at Ken's today. I had my cell phone, so I took some pics, and I thought I'd share with the group. Please, excuse photo quality as my phone does not take the best pics, but you get the idea. :)

Hope you enjoy!


My other buddy, Mike is moving to Washington state this weekend and he asked me if he knew anyone who would like his Crotalus cerastes. I said, "Yeah, I do."

Ricky with his new Sidewinder, I brought him. I think he likes it.   Don't try this at home, kids!



During feedings, i clicked a few shots of some bugs this Ken person is known to have around the house.

Can you ID the Nhandu species? :D









Naughty H. maculata showing me how tough she is.



New shipment if these Tailless whipscorpions from Tanzania! These are one of my faves.



Not everything in Master Ken's domain is legs and fangs, though. Here is one of the scaled denizens within his walls.




Keeping the thousands of creepy crawlies takes a lot of man hours, so Master Ken makes use of his attic slaves to keep all the citizens happy.

Ricky Flashes the gang signs all of us in the KentheBugGuy crew know. Afterall... we gotta represent. You know what i'm talkin bout.




Ricky taking care of some feedings.



Julia feeding some Brachys!



Tracy spends the most amount of time here taking care of business.



Ricky with some adults along the back wall.



Tracy watering some slings with sling racks in the background. Lots of spiders!



Lots and LOTS of spiders! Jealous?


It was fun hanging out with Ricky, and it is always cool being up in that attic. Glad you like the cerastes, Ricky!

Hope you all enjoyed!

Hey, look! I found a spider as big as my head! Cool, huh?

Great photos, Edgar. Thanks for sharing your day at Ken's. That is one BIG T in the last photo.
