New set up for Aphonopelma seemanni! We are letting her come out of the cup on her own after a stressful rehousing... for both her and Evangeline😆

The acrylic front was custom made to my specifications by iheartgeckos.com

Cyriocosmus elegans molted yesterday. I honestly didn’t notice at first. It’s hard to monitor when it’s this tiny.

She was a little thirsty

And my pretty girl... sooooo much webbing.

I finally got the scorpions enclosure put back together. I had to take everything out when she had the babies so I could keep track of them easier. I just got two more of these acrylic tank lids so I’ll be setting up two more tomorrow.

This is a whole new level of tiny... Cyriocosmus elegans (Trinidad Dwarf Tiger Rump) is now the smallest one I’ve picked up. It will only get to be 2”! 3rd pic is adult stage.

Friday feeding day!!! I’m going to try to get some video tonight. This is my best hunter. Hapolopus species Columbia large never misses.

Soooo much fuzziness! So right before I got this one it had a scientific reclassification. It was Brachypelma albopilosum and became Tliltoctl albopilosum. It has recently changed again to Tliltocatl albopilosus. These changes are made as the species is studied and more accurately described.

We all do it to some extent, and it some cases it's fun and harmless. But what happens when assigning human characteristics to our spiders inhibits our ability to care for them correctly? In this episode, we'll discuss some of the pros and cons wh...

Both GBBs are showing off some beautiful new exoskeletons! The coloring is always the most vivid after a molt and fills out the closer it gets to molting again.

It’s crazy that this little tiny tarantula will turn into this big tarantula...
A. avicularia 1” vs. full grown.
The small one is Evangeline’s 😁

A few friends out this morning

20/06/2020

Believe it or not... there is one person in the house that isn’t down with the 8 legged friends....

Our T. albopilosum (curly hair) has emerged from the burrow a lot larger than it was when it went in. The past few weeks has been like moltapalooza!

It’s been about a month since I’ve seen this one. Should be due for rehousing after it’s next molt.
