For many people, this species ranks highly as their most sought-after/the most beautiful species of tarantula. Do you agree? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #tarantula #tarantulas #invertebrates #invertebrate #spider #spiders #brazilianjewel #brazilianjeweltarantula #typhochlaena #typhochlaenaseladonia #arachnid #arachnids #tarantulalove #tarantulakeeper #tseladonia #seladonia
I was surprised to find this girl on eggs about a month ago. I assumed the eggs were likely infertile because I have had her for three years, and she was pretty small when I acquired her. After 2 weeks, she ended up eating them, like I expected she eventually would since the assumption was they were infertile. Still, it was cool to see her doing her motherly duties taking care of the eggs for a little while. At least now I know she is mature and ready to breed! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #centipede #centipedesofinstagram #centipedes #myriapoda #myriapod #myriapods #inverts #invertebrates #invertebrate #arthropods #arthropod #exoticpets #scolopendra #scolopendraheros #centipedenation

One of our mature female Poecilotheria striata out for a stroll after a photo shoot. Poecilotheria is one of the most well-liked genera in the hobby, and we keep all 14 of the hobby species. So far, we have gotten sacs from 9 out of the 14 species, but we currently have 4 of the remaining 5 species paired and will hopefully get some sacs soon, including from this girl! Which species of Poecilotheria is your favorite? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #poecilotheria #poecilotheriastriata #tarantula #tarantulas #tarantulasofinstagram #spider #spiders #arachnids #arachnid #inverts #invertebrates #invertebrate #mysoreornamentaltarantula #oldworldtarantula #tarantulakeepers #tarantulakeeper #spidersareawesome #spidersofinstagram #spidersoftheworld

Scolopendra dehaani 'purple giant' photoshoot. This beautiful animal is now available on our website! Our goal is to get photos of all the mature specimens of various species/variants we can. Centipedes are some of the most challenging things to photograph due to their constant movement. But it always ends up working out just fine, like this one! buddha-bugs.com #centipede #centipedes #centipedesofinstagram #invertebrates #invertebrate #invertebratesofinstagram #scolopendra #scolopendradehaani
This girl just molted and her boyfriend just matured, so hopefully we will be producing these guys again soon!

Here is a short video of some of the super cool animals we got to see in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo: Unique-looking rare millipedes, a bearcat, various species of snake, a possibly undescribed Phormingochilus species (sadly didn't get a decent photo of the adult), cockroaches that roll into a ball, and so much more! We can't wait to return and find more undescribed endemic invertebrates there. There are so many species unknown to science in Borneo. Next time, we plan to try to get permits from the Malaysian government to field collect specimens to help get some of them formally described. #animals #animal #wildlife #invertebrates #invertebrate #reptiles #snakes

This dwarf species is native to Venezuela, Guyana, and the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. Although spiderlings start very small, they are fast-growing and quick to mature. This species is a favorite within the tarantula-keeping hobby due to its small size, docile nature, and attractive looks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ buddha-bugs.com

This is a perfect example of a successful tarantula mating attempt! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Hopefully, this time, we can get some sacs from these girls. The previous time our females were mated earlier this year, they molted out. Trying again, the first step- both females have been re-paired. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀buddha-bugs.com ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #spider #spiders #tarantula #arachnids #arachnid #arachnoboards #tarantulas #animal #animals #invertebrates #invertebrate #spidersofinstagram #arachnidsofinstagram #tarantulas_worldwide #tarantulasofinstagram #tarantulakeeper #tarantulakeepers #tarántula #tarantulalove #tarantulalovers #tarantulapet #theraphosa #theraphosaapophysis #goliathbirdeater #goliathbirdeatingtarantula #pinkfootgoliath #tarantulamating #tarantulapairing #tarantulabreeding #tarantulabreeder
