Now I just want to go home and get the tiddler settled in his(/her) new home :)

In case you were wondering, it's a baby spider....
Brachypelma bohemei

Now I need ideas for names please ;)
Must be some sort of mythological character/god. Eg. previous names for critters have included:
Morpheus, Zeus, Damocles, Cerberus.... you get the idea :)

I vote for Cronus

Nice one :thumbsup:

I like Bracheus as a name

Bracheus eh?
Can't seem to find much on the background of the name, any ideas?
Fits with the spp name, maybe they have similar meanings.

Cronus I like- and Hades

Hades would work well with Cerberus, that's what my other current spid is called...

I read a lot of fantasy type novels and it pops up from time to time. I am not totally sure where it originates.

If you google it, it is given as the name of a king of Geulia and Galicia in ancient times.

It's only tiny. Really is quite cute in an 8-legged, eight-eyed, furry sort of way. :hihi:

I know lots of ladies don't like them, thanfully mine puts up with them though :thumbsup:

Awww! it's a little ginger person :)

Janus is a nice name for a big spinder ... He's the Guardian of the Gate of the Year and looks both forward and back. January is named after him.

edit: Here's a bit more about him from Wikipaedia ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janus_(mythology)

How about Bacchus, god of wine. His divine mission was to free people from care or worry.

He looks very cute. I am an huge spider lover. I never throw them out of the window, they are called HOUSE spiders for a reason. And they eat flys. Nuff said.

Sheelob (from LOTR). It's not mythological, but it was a spider.
